Along with Conte, Howe, Pulis and Clement.

I'll vote and vote again.
Hope it's not just public vote though, because Chelsea fans will just flood it.

Have to say I'm surprised to see Clement and Pulis on the list but not the other four. Conte & Pochettino speak for themselves and the media have been talking up Howe & Sean Dyche recently.

Howe seems to get more headlines than Sean. I guess spending somebody a huge amount of somebody else's money is always going to make more waves than spending your own extremely wisely.

It would appear that Tottenham and Chelsea would have an advantage with this one [not moaning, just commenting] unless it's some sort of weighted average related to home attendances....did Ranieri win last year?
Sean deserves to be in the line-up for sure..good luck!

6 nominations? There are only 17 clubs that didn't get relegated, so it's more than one third of them.

6 out of 20 managers! 3 relegated so ruled out. So 6 out of 17 nominated.
Our man's achievement is incredible. Conte winning in first season will win it. Shakespeare's effect at Leicester deserves a commendation! Or perhaps it's their players should win the shame award.

And, have I got my dates wrong that Swansea used 3 managers?

Nah, he's a half season kinda guy, Dyche has the stamina over a full season.
Speaking of which Silva had a relegation clause in his contract, he can walk away now.

There's already talk of Silva going to Norwich, although some would have you believe

I've voted for Deli Alli for the footballer of the year and Dyche the manager. Silly it being a public vote as Conte will win by Chelsea having more fans, as said above.

bob Bradley may have been technically eligible for the award, but it would be a strange decision to give it to him.

Easily Conte. It'll be interesting to know when he decided to go to Chelsea. Pep knew 6 months in advance that he'd be at city. Take in to account Conte was in charge of Italy in the Euros too.

In the case of Clements (and Allardyce) most seem to agree that the quality of players was there so 'all' they had to do was their job properly. That for me rules out Clement.
Howe kept them up last year - an excellent achievement - and he has moved them on a bit this year. That's a 'very well done' but not exceptional. Likewise for Pullis.
Pochettino has done no more then last season. Beautiful football but not award winning.
Dyche's achievement is magnificent. That's not just a claret tinted view. It's on par with Howe last season and Stoke in 2009 (Pulis didn't get the manager of the year award that season but got it for keeping Palace up in 2014). As the Premier League is all about winning though I can't see him getting the award.
That leaves Conte. He has the best squad of players a manager could wish for; their football is nearly as enjoyable as Spurs (my tastes are Spurs, Man City and Chelsea in that order). A very good manager should be winning The Premier League with what he's got. And he's done it. A good achievement. He's a winner so gets the award!

Dyche has had to build, develop, maintain a competitive premier team on a real shoestring budget, that team has succeeded in staying up.
That achievement in itself is worthy of an award. Yes, Chelsea won the league, but look at the expenditure by comparison !
As for spurs ? another very affluent club with a fashionable coach who has yet to win anything.
Sean Dyche is THE man in my opinion.

Should go to Tony Pulis - WBA are the best performing team in relation to financial position - Burnley are third (Good to have a Welshman on the list). Although I've voted for Sean.

I would hope you voted for him because he deserves it, which he does, rather than to ruffle feathers. However Mr. Dyche has made the list - which must mean that the independent panel who included him on the list must rate him, Burnley fans may be blinkered, but surely the panel are not - could you not therefore trust people who are impartial when they say he's a good manager.

Contè is a breath of fresh air. Passionate without. Ring in your face, even handed without being condescending(see his interview after Burnley's hard fought point at the Turf). His football is easy on the eye; yes he has the. Eat players, but so did Mourinho, and he didn't set out to entertain to the Title.
I liked Manuel Pelligrini when he was at City for largely the same reasons. Yes, his Club had the wealth of Croesus, but he handled himself with class and dignity, unlike Pep Guardiola.

Who cares if he deserves it or not? I'm a Burnley fan, so I'm voting for the Burnley manager. I don't see the problem.
