Sir Alex Ferguson, Bill Shankly, Sir Matt Busby, Jock Stein, Brian Clough, Sir Alf Ramsey, Bob Paisley and Steve Kean. Can you spot the odd one out?The majority are widely acknowledged as the greatest British football managers ever, while one could be argued not to be.The Oxford English Dictionary defines someone who is great as having ability, quality, or eminence considerably above average all of which should help identify Sam Hubbard Jersey the interloper on the list. Yet if you take a few recent quotes about this individual, youd be mistaken for thinking youd been transported into a parallel universe.Ive nothing but respect and admiration for the manager. Hes been magnificent. When meeting the manager, I soon realised the pa sion, enthusiasm and ambition he has for the club. Ive been with the manager before, so I know Tyler Eifert Jersey what hes about. Hes a good manager, and theres a good structure here. Certainly some glowing tributes there. Now lets see a magnificent, ambitious manager working at a club with a good structure Alex Redmond Jersey . It must be Sir Alex at Man Utd then.A career laden with succe s both at home and abroad it cant be anyone else. It certainly couldnt be someone whose main claim during their managerial career to date was to take a well established Premier League and send it hurtling into the Championship in a little over a year surely not?Yet those three comments were made by Bradley Orr, Danny Murphy and Hardy Nickerson Jersey Leon Best. All Blackburn Rovers players and managed by the odd one out Steve Kean.Quite what explanation any of the trio would have for spouting such obvious dirge is beyond the comprehension of most right-thinking people. Had those comments been made about anyone else on the list, thered have been no argument. But Kean? Really?In the cases of Murphy and Best, it seems a ridiculous way to start off with a new club. Unle s both of them have had their heads buried in the sand for the past 18 months, they cant have failed to notice Rovers fans havent exactly been The Great Ones biggest fan.Trotting out what a brilliant manager he is does nothing other than crank up the pre sure on both Trey Hopkins Jersey to make an immediate impact or face the wrath of an increasingly disillusioned fanbase.When Orr threw out his pearls of wisdom back in May, he found himself on the end of a barrel load of abuse damned by a sociation and facing the genuine po sibility of never being able to win round the fans again Renell Wren Jersey . Murphy and Best could well find themselves in the same boat.Everyones entitled to an opinion, but when its something so obviously inaccurate it does nothing other than insult the fans intelligence. Steve Kean might be a lot of things maybe hes heavily into charity work; perhaps he looks after injured animals but a great football manager? No, no and no, just a little bit more.
