League Two Manager of the Season 15:06 - May 6 with 254 views

Was given to Graham Alexander for some strange reason.

I always think it's a bit odd that they decide and present these awards before the season ends especially when there's still so much to play for which was certainly the case in League Two. Alexander was a lucky deflected goal from leading the biggest club in League Two to the Play-Offs and this is on the back of a 9th place finish last season. If they'd ended up in the Play-Offs and not gone up surely this season would've been deemed a failure?

I don't always think the manager of the team that wins the division should get the award but Doncaster were fifth last season so that's still a decent improvement this season. Salford went from 20th to 8th, Grimsby from 21st to 9th and Col U from 22nd to 10th. All improved by 12 positions on last season. Bromley finished 11th in their debut season in the football league which is quite some achievement and probably surpasses McCann's at Doncaster and is definitely ahead of Alexander's for me. All four clubs in the Play-Offs have improved on last year's position in the division and if Chesterfield were to go all the way and win it surely that would put Cook right up there in terms of Manager of the Season.

Ultimately they decided on Alexander about two weeks too early and there are at least half a dozen managers that you could make a case for winning it ahead of him including Danny Cowley.

Poll:

How many polls will Leadbelly do this season?

Couldn't agree more. It was laughable they included Mat Sadler in the nominations, given second half of the season he's been one of the worst in the league. If he doesn't win the play-offs, he may still get the boot!
