Big Sam says: Hill is the best
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has declared that Keith Hill should be given the gong for the best manager in the country.
The former Bolton manager was full of praise for the work that Keith Hill has done in leading Dale to promotion this season, and has put him forward to be named as the best manager in the country. Speaking to the local press over the weekend, Big Sam said: "Sadly we really don’t look down the divisions as much as we should do. “Personally it would be Keith Hill. He is getting promoted at Rochdale for the first time in about 40 years, with the lowest budget. He would be more deserving. “But I think it will probably be the ilk of Roy Hodgson who wins it, he will probably get past David Moyes this year. He shouldn’t be that greedy anyway he has won it a few years."
