Personally would put Corberan higher than Farke as i think the job he's done is more impressive.

Danny Rohl did amazing at Sheffield Wednesday, when he came in they had 3 points at the end of October, and they finished the season with 53, what an escape.

As a Wednesday fan I’d love to put Rohl first and I do think it’s possibly the greatest championship survival ever. But at the end of the day no one wants to celebrate avoiding relegation, you want to celebrate promotion which takes much more consistency. I thought Ipswich would challenge for playoffs but what McKenna has done is brilliant. I hope he can give Ipswich a good account of themselves next season!

QPR fan here... considering the budget restraint and the free transfer he brought in a guy from second division danish side you have to be impressed with Marti ! As for your pick for top manager of the season... yep no one can take it away from Ipswich ! Great job McKenna!

Neil Harris did a fantastic job

As a Wednesday fan I'd say you've got that pretty much spot on, well done 👍

I'm a Leicester City fan but I agree, McKenna deserves the number one spot on here. He's done a fantastic job.

You can definitely make a case for the top 3 managers on this list! Cifuentes for restoring hope in an underwhelming QPR squad and making them play like a top six side, Rohl for pulling off the great escape after what was a terrible first 11 games, abysmal summer transfer window as well as the off the pitch circumstances surrounding the club and as for McKenna, he did the unthinkable by achieving back to back promotions with 96 points in a season which was set at an unusually high standard by the 3 year 1 parachute teams. I don’t know if we will ever see a season like this again and bloody hell, what a great season it was!

Neil Harris should be top 5 easily , doesn't play pretty football and like you said doesn't have to acclimatise to the club but has the most or the most points out of any manager in the Championship since he's arrived , a Millwall legend

DANY DANY RÖHL

Full respect to Ipswich getting autos from league 1. I’ll have to be bias and swop 1 and 2, with the turn around that Röhl did with limited players was near a miracle. Good luck next season.

i would like to thank Danny for keeping Wednesday up considering the dark days of management we have seen this season and maybe those who defended and hoped for the return of Darren Moore in all this even when he caused most of it have woken up to what is available out there , But Danny has to prove himself and that he is loyal to the fan base ,something very much lacking in the modern game by managers and too many players ,the manager merry-go-round is a bandwagon of 3 year contract and even their failure is rewarded as they know round the corner is another club willing to hire them on another 3 year contract while they are still being paid for the other contract,the fans at any club are the least to be considered in any of this ,they only pay the bills for it all ,thanks again Danny let you be the one that breaks the mold for Wednesday and bring us to the better place we deserve god knows the fans deserve it

Wayne Rooney is down there In the 30s or 40s I'm including ball boys and medical staff

SWFC’s Röhl all day long miraculous turn round with a team miles adrift after 17 games. Nobody near him except McKenna at Ipswich and he had a terrific squad from day 1 one. And remember McKenna was given money to improve his squad the owls got nowt because the owner is skint as well as being a world class idiot. Otherwise Brilliant as ever Ben.

Must go with Rohl - amazing job

Wednesday fan here. So happy for Danny Rohl, what a manager. Have to Agree with top spot though, you were great last season and to repeat that success in consecutive leagues.......Incredible!

Rohl, Cifuentes and McKenna. It cannot be anyone else. Forget the ones in charge of parachute teams. All but one of them missed out on the top two for their budgets you can't call their seasons a success. One more may go up via playoffs, but for the money they had, it's not really enough to make them better than 23 other managers. Eustace deserves some credit for what he achieved while at Birmingham and then keeping Blackburn up despite their tough run-in. Cardiff's manager, and Rosenior at Hull definitely had good seasons too, but no-one comes close to the three I mentioned above.

Cifuentes were bookies relegation favourites.......miracle maker

Ben, from an Owls fan, congratulations on Ipswich getting promoted. You understand how shite its been for both our teams over the last few years. So to pull off this amazing feat is nothing less than remarkable in your first season back in the champ. Love the channel and love your energy, knowlwdge and very mature views on the EFL. Theres no one else out there that has your level of knowledge thatyou bring to the show. Good look Ipswich for the next season and I hope Wednesday can pull off something special next season and join you guys up there. Regards, Dorset Owl

Nice one Ben, super interesting analysis AS ALWAYS! Top Guy!

Got it spot on Ben regarding the top 3!

Incredibly harsh on Carrick. In 40 years of supporting Boro I've never known an injury crisis as bad as the one Carrick has had to cope with most of this season. On top of that he had Morgan Rodgers and Matt Crooks sold from underneath him. He's only been able to play a settled team in the last 10 games of the season and it's no coincidence that Boro have been top of the championship form table during that period.

Thanks for the video BB 🦉

No arguments with the top three. Leeds fans must curse the very name McKenna! As a Wednesday fan I agree Röhl’s task was a bit more impossible than Cifuentes but QPR fans must love him and rightly so! All young managers as well which is terrific to see 👍

Can't argue with any of that. Good stuff, cheers.

The one problem is... Wednesday will have difficulty holding onto Röhl

Pumping out the great content Ben, are you taking a break before the big season starts?

To be fair Brum could've had its own video.

Oh yes. Love a notification of a new video from Mr Bloom! Lovely stuff Ben. Content continues to get better and better! Really good ratings I don't think I'd change much. - McKenna undoubtedly 1st. - Agree on thr parachute managers, they've done well, but also had good resources - Nice one on Lowe, he gets a lot of stick but I think hes a decent coach. - Also whilst i agree with your summary on Rowett i think hes a good coach

Mckenna 100% number 1 nobody would have backed Ipswich for promotion this season. My Club WBA CC has done a great job since we've not been able to spend and our off the field issues if he takes us up, which i doubt then what a job.

Super Neil Harris at Millwall

Your top 3 is bang on. So excited to see what Cifuentes and Röhl can do with a summer transfer window and a whole season

Really good Ben! Agree on Kieran McKenna, but think you’re being very harsh on Neil Harris. Not because I’m a Millwall supporter, but from where we were when he took over, to where we finished, scoring the most points of any team in the championship across the last 13 games, I think everyone would agree he should finish higher than 8. Regardless of when he came in. 😅

Can’t argue with this. Top 3 all did amazing jobs.

Well done Ben enjoyed watching you all season will you do the championship next season well done Ipswich from a Plymouth Argyle fan

I dunno how farke & maresca are above corberan 😮 farkes Leeds squad is miles better than wba & yet achieved the same thing. Maresca did the minimum expected with that Leicester squad, most managers could have done that 1: McKenna 2: Rohl 3: Corberan 4: Cifuentes 5: Harris

You can’t deny the job McKenna has done. The testament to that is that you’d struggle to pick one player from Ipswich to replace a player in the 11 of another top 6 club, they perform as a unit are well coached and had a winning mentality, that has to come from the manager. I think Swansea will come good next season too, they finished well and Williams looks like he’s only now got them where he wants them. Big fan of Cifuentes too, they’re a completely different side now.

If you were including managers who left during the season, we'd (Wednesday) be in the running for best and worst!

Its the spliffy top my god looking at that is like going back to the good old days of my youth 🥰 Foster in 24th!

Ipswich fan. Hopefully West Brom get promoted they had a good season and Danny rohl did a fantastic job keeping Sheffield Wednesday up. Hull did well and John eustace didn’t deserve the sack from Birmingham it cost you in the end. He took over a side in Blackburn that were not great and had a bad manager who struggled in England in the end. And Cardiff did well too. But my manager of season is rohl kept that team up when no one gave them hope

Rohl number 1 for me

Absolutely brilliant video! My one nitpick is I don't see how Corberan is above Farke, and of course the lower end of the list is pretty interchangeable. But the higher end is pretty much spot on! Fair play!

Got to give it you Ben, you always had the belief, that wednesday would get out of it, they did give me some sleepless nights, king Danny 🤴 ❤

Wednesdays Röhl all day long over McKenna. He was set up for success

Tbh I agree with you about Wagner. He's such a polarising figure. After the season we've had getting to the play offs is a miracle. We'll see what happens in the 2nd leg but I'm not hopeful.

Before even looking at urs had the same top 3...keeping Cifuentes is huge for us next season along with Chair Field & Clarke- Salter

John Eustace took over a totally broken side after the incredible sulk, Jon Dahl Tomasson, was found out. Playing a style of football you need top internationals in the Championship was not going to work on a budget. When the Sweden job came up he just sat on the bench week by week killing time. The Eustace reign has been poor with the small matter of we stayed up, but you’ve got to give him a pre-season and a couple of windows, the latter so the club officials can get used to basic IT.

Here's one for you Ben, rank the boards, the people at the top of the club, how well run are the clubs? Birmingham got what they deserve, Millwall perhaps got lucky, etc.

What scenes in town today!! So pleased weather held off again! Still in dreamland. Mx

No doubt there can only be one winner Mckenna, promotion first attempt incredible. Special mention too miracle worker Danny Rohl though, massive achievement from him!! 😂

Mark Robins in 14th? I usually agree with everything you say, but personally I think that’s a wild take.

McKenna has surely got to be number 1!!!

Harris did do a great job keeping Millwall safe, all the managers with parachute payment teams should always be top of the tree just based on the simple fact of what is at their disposal. But without a doubt McKenna is probably manager of the season across all 4 divisions. I seem to remember when McKenna was appointed Harris was also in the frame for the job wonder what would have the outcome had Ipswich chosen differently

Does Wayne Rooney not get a ranking?

Birmingham should not have got relegated on 50 points. That they did was because of the brilliance of QPR and Wednesday in the second half of the season. More teams than usual had to fight relegation. My own team is Norwich and you are right, not sure about Wagner. We are not ready for the Premier League but we do have a nucleus of good players. The big question is can we keep them for next season?

Honest rundown can't argue with that. Hats off to Mckenna, on a roll from last season, but Rohl and Marti worked miracles UUURRRSS

Is that t shirt from the 90s?? The character on the front feels soooo familiar

Top 3 bang on!

Danny, Danny Röhl👌🏻👌🏻🦉

As always, an excellent and informative vlog. The only thing I have a significantly different opinion to you on is Maresca. Of course he got the job done in the end and they won pretty comfortably on paper. I think with the quality of players at his disposal Leicester could just steamroller the weaker teams in the division and accumulate the necessary points regardless of Maresca's shortcomings. I feel like Leicester's collapse in the latter part of the season really should reflect on Maresca. It really was a psychological collapse within the team and that is on him. It also caused a schism to grow between supporters and the club. I know that isn't quantifiable, qnd isn't reflected in the statistics, but my impression is really that Maresca does not seem like a good manager, and if I were a Leicester fan, I wouldn't trust him next year in the Prem.

Hey benjamin would be available to do a podcast with me? Keep up great work

BB did you predict that Liam would get the boot from Hull City.

Boro severely hampered by injuries and a truly awful start to the season, keep latte lath and I think Boro are a real contender next season

Maresca almost bottled a 17 point lead, Carlos Corberan has to be higher than him surely

I can't believe Hull have sacked Liam Rosenior he nearly got them into the play offs bloody owners

Big up the Spliffy T lol been a few years but il always miss my spliffy bomber haha , Super Neil gotta be top five Coyl

Well done BB, Spot on from an OWL...

Pretty hard to decide between McKenna and Rohl. Cifuentes also wry good as well as Harris at Milwall

I completely agree with the top 3 , all 3 of them didnt have the budgets or parachute payments to help them unlike the 'big' clubs !

Having Robins in 14th is completely justified Ben. I think weve had a very average season. Only Lestuh spent more than us last summer and im afraid he wasted a fair whack of it. Yes we made the FA Cup semi, but we had a lovely draw to get there, and even in our best run of form this year (xmas to March time) we were rarely exciting to watch, certainly nothing like last year with Vik and Gus

Not too much to disagree about. McKenna and Rohl definitely top two , maybe would put John Eustace higher. Carlos Corberon great achievement to get the Baggies in the playoffs, they were in the bottom 3 last season when he was appointed

My top three as well Ben

I’d stick with your prediction of 2nd for the Boro this upcoming season. Latte Lath going to be Top Scorer in Championship. When every player is fit. We are one of the best teams in the league and Carrick has us playing fantastic football.

I'm a Leicester fan, but there's no way that I can make the case for Maresca being higher than 4th. He achieved the aim of going up automatically and won the league with a points tally that has only been bettered on two occasions in the past 10 seasons. However, you could argue that he had one of the strongest squads ever at this level and fell well short of the points record despite being on course to smash it 2/3rds of the way into the season. He's rightfully above Martin and Farke in this list because neither of them achieved the objective of automatic promotion, however, the three that you've listed above him all pulled off miracles.

Bulut at Cardiff still hasn’t been given a new contract so as of now we have no manager our owner is a nightmare we definitely want him to stay

Can't argue with any of that especially the top half

@# a Ipswich fan I agree with McKenna, But Second is definitely the Sheffield Wednesday manager, weren’t they on 3 points after 11 games

Stoke have been stuck in purgatory for many years.Watch out for us next season,though.Playoffs at least.

As a Leeds fan I think that you have been generous to Farke. With our squad he should have got the job done. His weakness is not dealing with things when they go wrong on the pitch, alls well when our top players are flying but when they are not he freezes. He also says our players are tired but he did not rotate when he should have done. Totally agree with your number 1, I some times wonder what Mckenna would have done with our team.

Can not argue with that top 3

Danny rohl should be top and should have won manager of the year

I would say manager of the season award will most probably go to McKenna and yes it would be very deserved but I do feel Danny Rohl does need to be in the conversation (and sorry yes I am a Wednesday fan 😂) but was very impressed with how hard Ipswich were to beat this season, hope they do well in the prem

I agree with Kieran McKenna being number 1, great achievement.

Agreed with you're 1/2/3 Ben completely. I can't put liecester Leeds or Southampton anywhere near the top 10 though as they all play on cheat mode

I thought that dewsnip and Nance did a superb job for the 6 games they were in charge they only lost 2 games whilst and more importantly unbeaten at home.the result's were good enough to keep us in the championship and 2 of those wins Wer against the league winners Leicester and play off contenders hull both at Plymouth.

I think you've got it spot on Benjammin, in my opinion the manager of the year is not the manager who finishes first with the best squad and best budget. The EFL isn't a level playing field, teams coming down with parachute payments should walk the division. My top 3 are same as yours, the job Mckenna has done is second to none, I know some people will say the Cifuentes should have been second, but in the head to heads Rohl beat Cifuentes home and away, so for my money the job Rohl has done is second only to Mckenna.

There are a few candidates for the best but id be surprised if anyone disagreed with Xisco being by far the worst manager employed by any Championship club this season.

Fair assessment Ben and cannot argue with the top 3 or Mckenna being in my opinion way out in first. And I am glad you had the width of a fag paper between Rohl and Cifuentes which is also fair. But I am sick and tired of Sheff Wed fans consistently saying the only manager of the teams who were in SERIOUS trouble who did well was Rohl and he was amazing and no one else comes close. That was just not the facts and other than throwing 2 games away against Sheff Wed it could have been a very different story. And yes waiting for the argument of the head to head record but QPR completely out played Sheff Wed at Hillsbourough and managed to capitulate in injury time and conceding 2 goals and we were both equally bad in the reverse fixture. Lets see where we are with a full season hopefully both teams not fighting relegation. Before the tirade of abuse starts I thought Rohl was amazing.

Robins in 14th seems a bit harsh, being a victim of their success in the FA Cup with a threadbare squad. True he spent some money after losing Gyokeres and Hamer but so many signings took time to bed in, it was the start of the season that cost us missing out on the playoffs and a lot of sloppy individual errors along the way. Losing Sheaf and Sakamoto to injury when things were going well was a major blow and letting Mcfadzean go in the winter window was a mistake. Not strengthening the squad in that window probably not his fault though. But I can’t really argue with it given the jobs the guys above him did.

Best thing dewsnip did was arrest the slide!!

McKenna was a banker for top spot - a sensational job! Hoping Danny Rohl will have Wednesday in a similar position next season!

Sheffield Wednesday. No wins in first 13 games, not 11. Does that move Danny Röhl up a place?

Ben …you would say McKenna being an Ipswich fan😀

Rooney should be at the bottom, not sure why Rowett was down there considering he took over a team that had mentally and physically drained

Rowett played Burke at Rotherham,changing a winning team a huge mistake,maybe payback for the way Birmingham treated him previously

If Rowett got one more point they still would of gone down

Mark robins by a mile. Considering the challenges he faced and where he started

No can argue with Kieran McKenna, stupidly good

QPR manger should be number one for saving

Less Dewsnip and more Nancekevill at Argyle I would say in keeping us safe
