Sarri, Hasenhuttl, Santo, Gracia, OGS, Emery and Siewart are all too new or unknown to me to have a real opinion on. The Saints manager has impressed me when I have listened to him though.

I think Dyche is good for a low level club. Organised them, they are fit and get results. Don’t think he is suited to a higher club though.

Howe is an interesting one. Clearly doing s good job and gets the team playing well. Often see his side as a soft touch and needs to grind out the occasional result.

Think Liverpool, City and ourselves are all extremely happy with their managers.

Silva for me is another Martinez. Talks a good game and gets his team playing reasonable football but can’t turn that into results. A short stint at Hull and a good start at Watford are all he really has on his side.

Warnock always gets a poor team to the Prem then they can’t compete. Can’t really criticise him as he does well with what he has but is too limited to go to a higher level.

It is your task now to keep the OP up to date so we can see at a glance which clubs goes through lots of managers :D

For example

Wolves - Santo - Mourinho

I sometimes wonder if Dyche is a bit of an Allardyce (manager wise, not taking bungs) in that he works well at a scrappy lower in the table club making them fight and battle for it and will tend to keep your club in the premiership with the odd special season where he finishes top half - however if he ever went to a bigger club I sort of feel like it wouldn’t work out? Could have the guy completely wrong of course and it’s only my gut feeling. Perhaps I’m being harsh on him.
I think Benitez is a brilliant manager, proven record, trophies. Newcastle are lucky to have him, especially given the issues around the owners.
I like Howe as well, although Bournemouth are very inconsistent, they will go and smash Chelsea only to then lose their next game to a more bearable team.

Ranieri is a good manager but he shouldnt have taken the fulham job. The previous manager has left him with a team of incompetent defenders.

I like santo, he plays football the right way and is lucky he has that super agent getting him all those players but you still have to manage and set them up right and he is doing that.

Yeah, Santo is good. The way they built the team is scummy though.

Looks like he's turned it around now, he needed a bit of time to get the defensive side of his game right, will be really Interesting to see how Everton fare next season especially if they get a goalscorer.

Eddie Howe is overrated. I mean what's he actually achieved?

Can't understand why people would have him at Spurs if Poch walked.

He has turned a very small club into a Prem side and plays decent football.

He has held onto good players like Wilson and bought intelligently.

No idea if he has the right skilset to manage a bigger club but unfair to say he hasn’t achieved at Bournemouth.

Taken a club from the bottom of League Two and on the brink of administration to stable mid-table in the Premier League in a decade (minus 18 months at Burnley). That is a hell of an achievement. Whether he would be a good manager for a different club is very much up for debate when Bournemouth is so clearly his club, the squad is moulded in his image and he has control over all football matters at the club.

On the plus side he has brought through Wilson, King, Fraser, now David Brooks, he clearly has a knack for coaching attacking players and getting the best out of them. On the down side he cannot organise a defence or even identify a solid defender for love nor money, and even their best defensive signing in the PL, Ake, has done some pretty weird stuff this season.
