1) Marco Silva - his Fulham side were top all season, apart from in November, following a defeat to Bournemouth
2) Scott Parker - whatever we feel about him, he has taken Bournemouth up, two years after taking Fulham up
Whilst both sides have been unplayable at times, Fulham for me definitely have the edge.
Well done to both managers, both did superbly this season
There are no other contenders IMHO, as these are the only two winners.
The rest go into the lottery.
The manager of those may be (at best) third best [Post edited 4 May 2022 12:25]

Silva 100%. Fulham champions in his first season in charge, nothing more to say. |  | | |

Just out of those two?
Silva probably.
I would say he is the second best manager in the league. |  |

Steve Cooper - gets the best out of what he has got
Out of the other 2 - Silva, Fulham’s drive to promotion was never in doubt, Bournemouth had a few wobbles along the way |  | | |

Agreed, wasn't sure if he meant just out of those two or out of the whole league.
Cooper is obviously the best manager in the league this season.
He earned more points than any other manager in the league since he took over. The fact he took over the bottom club makes that fact even more astonishing. | |

Depends how you look at it.
Silva and Parker (and even Cooper) had players that are far superior to most squads. Parker also bought big in January. You could argue that he should have been home and hosed long before now. In that case, perhaps he is not such a great manager. Lets see how they go next season.
The guys at Huddersfield and Luton could be classed as better. look where they finished with the tools at their disposal.
Just my opinion. |  | | |

These were the odds for the title at the start of the season. They were based on the squads each team had.
Both Swansea and Forest were 22/1. Forest’s squad hasn’t changed much from that point on.
People are only now saying Forest have a good team because Cooper made them one. They haven’t been in the play offs for over a decade, finished 17th last season and were rock bottom when he took over.

Don't rate either Parker or Silva myself, take everything into account with budgets etc then I would say that Carlos Corberan is the best hands down. |  |

Fair point. But by the same token look at the Luton and Huddersfield odds. The latter were seen as relegation fodder. | | | |

Interesting.
I don’t really agree with that method as you could have Pep taking over Fulham and if they win the league then he has just won the league with the biggest budget - as he should do, others below him will without doubt have finished higher than their budgets - so to say as a result they are better managers shows an obvious flaw.
But it does seem that there is a little bit of merit to it as Jones was named manager of the year who ranks highly in the “budget to finish list”. (There isn’t one, but I created one).
Here are the estimated salary budgets in order from highest to lowest.
Transfer spend has been added to this (loan fees haven’t been). This is the total player budget each team has had this season, or close enough to as a guide.
1. Fulham £59.56m
2. Bournemouth £47.92m
……………………………………..
3. WBA £30.37m
4. Middlesbrough £26.03m
5. Stoke City £24.19m
6. Forest £24.36m
……………………………………..
7. Reading £18.07m
8. Swansea City £17.90m
9. Sheff Utd £17.35m
10. Bristol City £14.43m
11. QPR £14.43m
12. Cardiff City £14.19m
13. Birmingham £12.69m
14. Millwall £12.20m
15. Preston £11.97m
16. Peterborough £10.64m
17. Huddersfield £10.37m
18. Blackburn £9.72m
19. Derby County £8.99m
20. Blackpool £6.80m
21. Hull City £6.62m
………………………………..
22. Barnsley £5.65m
23. Luton Town £5.61m
24. Coventry £5.95m
I will now match each team up to where they are currently in the league and attribute a + or - in terms of how each club is performing vs their budget rank. I will go best to worst (no particular order for ties, just as they come).
1. Luton (+13)
2. Coventry (+13)
……………………………
3. Huddersfield (+11)
4. Blackburn (+9)
5. Millwall (+6)
6. Sheff Utd (+4)
…………………………..
7. Blackpool (+4)
8. Forest (+3)
9. Hull (+3)
10. Preston (+1)
11. Fulham (same)
12. Bournemouth (same)
13. QPR (-1)
14. Barnsley (-2)
15. Derby (-3)
16. Middlesbrough (-3)
17. Peterborough (-7)
18. Birmingham (-7)
19. Cardiff City (-7)
20. Swansea (-7)
21. Bristol City (-7)
…………………………
22. WBA (-7)
23. Stoke (-8)
24. Reading (-14) | |

Absolutely, they have done fantastically well.
Remember though. Cooper didn’t take over at the start of the season when these odds were produced.
He took over 9 games in. They were rock bottom of the league and the odds for promotion at that time will probably have rivalled Huddersfield’s pre season ones. 4th favourites for the drop from memory.
To go from that to the best performing team in the league since you take over is ludicrous. | |

I'd go for that horrible bloke Nathan Jones, Forest had the players but were under performing. |  | | |

Yes Forest were underperforming but they still needed turning around, I'd give it to Cooper but partly because he got us into the play offs twice too.
Silva had a very good squad and was allowed to spend a chunk too. | | | |
