All the Premier League Managers of 2017-18 Ranked from Best to Worst (and a musical artist I think they're like)

I've become more interested in football managers than in football, I think.

Anyway, some of these work better than others.

1. Pep Guardiola – Beyoncé.            Pure mastery across all forms, overcomes the doubters (including me). Barca was Destiny's Child, Bayern was early solo career, last season was 'Beyoncé', this season was 'Lemonade'.
2. Roy Hodgson - Joe Strummer.      Because he sounds like Joe Strummer, and he’s an internationalist South London renaissance man.
3. Sean Dyche – Ed Sheeran.            Lo-fi, brutally effective, bafflingly successful, ginger.
4. Jurgen Klopp – Nile Rodgers.       Joyful, life-enhancing wizardry, perhaps the only criticism is an occasional lack of depth.
5. Eddie Howe - British Sea Power. Geeky, joyful, clever, consistently strong.
6. Jose Mourinho -   Kanye West.    Self-explanatory.
7. Rafael Benitez – Paul Weller.       Started brilliant and revered, people said he went off the boil even though he was still pretty good, now getting full reverence again.
8. Chris Hughton - Joan as Police Woman.   Former support act, waited patiently for time in the sun to shine.
9. Mauricio Pocchettino – Super Furry Animals.        Brilliant, glorious, never quite gets that Top 5 single or that Number 1 album.
10. Darren Moore – John Hassall.     The guitarist in the Libertines, who had to patiently stand alongside an absolute shitshow before releasing a great pop single called 'Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder'.
11. Claude Puel – The Bluetones.      Actually rather good and underrated.
12. David Wagner – Kaiser Chiefs.     Jaunty, jolly, gets the job done.
13. Antonio Conte – The Stone Roses.            Difficult second album syndrome.
14. Mark Hughes - Kelly Jones from The Stereophonics.          Welshman always complaining he's hard done by. Sometimes crap, but sometimes pretty good.
15. Sam Allardyce – Kasabian.            Brutally effective, but makes the mistake of thinking he's better and more important than he is.
16. Craig Shakespeare – Mick Taylor.              Forgotten guitarist who was actually in the Rolling Stones for many of their greatest albums.
17. David Moyes -  Gorillaz   Excellent to start with, but when he stepped up to the big time, like Gorillaz headlining Glastonbury, was found wanting.
18. Carlos Carvalhal – Daphne and Celeste.   Fun for a while, grew tiresome.
19. Javi Gracia – Jade Ewen.               Just the latest of the Watford Sugababes.
20. Arsene Wenger – REM.  Went on and on being great but slightly less great each time til it pretty rapidly fell off at the end, but managed to get out with dignity just about intact.
21. Slaven Bilic – Slaven Bilic.             Slaven Bilic is a rock star.
22. Paul Clement – Graham Coxon.  Decent solo, but just a bit better in the background.
23. Tony Pulis – Eminem.      Ugly but effective for a long time, til he just becomes ugly and a bit crap.
24. Ronald Koeman – Gary Barlow.  Much better when a member of a team than as a solo artist.
25. Paul Lambert – Travis.    Scottish, kind of think he ought to be good, but never quite is.
26. Marco Silva – Scott McLeod.        The guy who got given the job of being in Oasis and messed it up.
27. Mauricio Pellegrino – Semisonic.               Looks like he might be ok, but just turns out to be blandly terrible.
28. Frank De Boer – One True Voice.              A lot of hoohah, then utterly hopeless.
29. Alan Pardew - Tony Hadley.         Struggled to pick a musician for this one, but just worth pointing out that Pards's season was so bad that he's behind someone who achieved literally Zero points.
