Surprisingly, the entire Ajax school has lost out.
All Time Great Managers Draft
- Thread starter Synco
- Start date
Lovely spread. Will be an engaging draft to follow.
Out of curiosity did anyone else choose Happel @Synco @Physiocrat ?
No one chose Cryuff or Pep! My first instinct was try to recreate dream team but then went a different way.
None of my 4 choices were picked by anyone else
1) Bela Guttmann
2) Cryuff
3) Helenio Herrera
4) Rinus Michel

Nope
Almost all managers were first picks, Happel too. If not for @Himannv, this draft would have taken place without SAF.
Lower half in draft again 
Yeah, the lack of Ajax/Barca coaches is a bit of a pity. Would have thought Herrera is nailed on too.

When are we blocking players and in which order?
Way too many safe choices. Should have added a clause the managers career feats and honours will also be taken into account.
Cheers.
Shame Michels is also missing, would've loved to see how a such game between recreational sides of those two would pan out.
Drafting starts now, but the first deadline starts tomorrow at 10am GMT.
After that it's the 4/8 hours rule from the OP.

Important: Your pick from the GOAT list has to be pick #1.
If there's no interesting player on it for you, you can pick anyone else. But you'll then have no access to the GOAT list until reinforcements. (RR rules are in the OP now.)

@Michaelf7777777
Ugh in the middle.
I think blocking the players that played under the manger influenced things.
Was close, I admit.
I think I’ve been 13th in about 50% of drafts. There must be some glitch over at random.com
Given your winning record, it is clearly the best place to be
I didn't go safe, just thought it was an interesting choice given his tactics haven't really been seen at the top level before this season.
whose?
Just like last draft, fecked myself again not properly reading the criteria.
Ouch. That blocked list.Chris Wilder
Alfredo Di Stefano will be my first selection please

@Enigma_87
Same with Favre (at least during the period I'm thinking of).
No idea if it's never been done like that before, but the mix of elements is pretty special.

Pretty shocked with harms choice.
First deadline starts now - @Raees has time until 2pm GMT for his pick.
Perhaps obvious, but also ask another drafter to take your pick. Physio may not be around at times.
Hope everyone dedicates small part in their tactics for choosen manager and his playing style.
You just write mini Mourinho.
I’ll go with Baresi.
