The votes will be in before the Scottish cup final anyway. Besides, the way we are playing the double treble is far from a given. |

So the Celtic manager should just win it every year then, if its about trophies and not performances? For me its not a disservice to Rodgers should his peers choose recognise Clarke's remarkable turn around at Kilmarnock. |

No. Nobody thought Deila should have got it in 2016 despite winning the league, or the year before, when he won two trophies. Everyone should recognise Clarke's impact and achievement to date. However if Rodgers wins the Scottish Cup semi final and final he'll have achieved something that has never happened in Scottish football since the League Cup was introduced in 1946, a period of over 70 years. Trebles are rare, an undefeated Treble rarer still. A Double Treble would be totally unprecedented. A failure to mark that would look particularly silly even among the many backward mindsets od Scottish football hacks. The issue is the timing of all of the awards ceremonies. They want their knees up before the end of the season, and it can make them look pretty silly. If Clarke were to end up getting Killie to, say, third or fourth place, and Celtic missed out on a Treble or even the traditional Double, you'd probably go for Clarke. As it is Killie could still finish fifth or sixth, meaning he would have made his team consistently better than pish like St Johnstone, Motherwell, Hamilton, Dundee, Partick and Ross County. I don't see any real achievement in that, because they are for the most part pretty hopeless. Edited by Forza, 20 Mar 2018, 01:25 PM.

Lennon has done a better job than Clarke, as the respective League positions demonstrates. And he has done it with a promoted club while Kilmarnock are an established SPL club. |

Not really. He got a head start on Clarke who had to turn round a team that were relegation certainties. That turnaround has been remarkable. The football is not as easy on the eye but the results can't be argued with. If Clarke had won something he would be a stick on. If he still wins it I will not shed any tears (and neither will Brendan)! |

ICGAF about the Double Treble. It's the Quadruple Treble I want! I want Brendan to leave having won every domestic trophy he played for and never having lost to any bunch of criminal bastards bearing the name of Rangers. I want his tenure to be seared on their consciousness for eternity, for years after the name of Rangers has been consigned to the dustbin of football history. My only worry is that they'll die before all this is accomplished. It's not a worry that keeps me awake.

League, LC, robbed of a SC Final, European football after Xmas and broke a 90 year old defensive record. Not a chance in hell Hughes deserved it, they only got to the final because of the worst decision in the history of Scottish football. |

He's got an 100% win rate in terms of domestic trophies. if performance levels were part of the deal then Wattie would never have won eff all. These things need to be taken with a pinch of salt anyway. Brown for instance will miss out on plenty of deserved votes due to him winding up almost everyone he plays against. Should Be MOTY- Brendan POTY - Broon/Forrest YPOTY - Ntcham/Ajer Will likely be MOTY - Clarke POTY - Tavernier YPOTY - Bates |

The football’s been nowhere near as good as last season and, given that we’re a year and several transfer windows down the line, I was kind of expecting a better showing from us in Europe. Would still be a very successful campaign, but not at last year’s levels IMO. |

Last season we were like a runner winning the medals and breaking records(domestic) along the way. This season, so far, we're winning the medals. We're beating what is in front of us. If we do another treble, BR is the only candidate. This is the media thread, and this candidates thing is their usual "how can we stop the obvious (Celtic player, usually) winning it". I recall Amoruso, who had been dung all year according to every one, oldco fans included, suddenly popped up as a candidate. |

What you have to remember with these individual awards is that people who vote tend to take into account factors like “most improved”. Consistent excellence is taken for granted, which is why Larsson didn’t win POTY every season and why Gary Caldwell has won it more often than Kenny Dalglish. |

Did a wee bit of research ..."The Scottish Football Writers' Association Manager of the Year (often called the SFWA Manager of the Year, or simply the Scottish Manager of the Year) award is given to the manager in Scottish football who is seen to have been the best manager of the previous season. The award is voted for by the members of the Scottish Football Writers' Association. The award was first given in 1987, and was won by Dundee United boss Jim McLean. The award has been won by a manager in the top division of the Scottish football league system in all but one year, 1990, when the award went to Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh." We've won it 10 times.. Huns have won it 11 times and no other club have won it more that once.. Cardigan has won it 7 times MON won it 3 times. Not sure if its a whoosh but Warbs never won it..

Anyone who’s been in the football manager thread over the last couple of days would surely agree that Alan Archibald should win manager of the year. |

Seems he won the PFA manager of the year. It was still ridiculous, regardless of which manager of the year award he was given. |
