LMA DOUBLE FOR STEVE COPPELL

Reading manager Steve Coppell has been honoured with the LMAâ€™s highest accolade, by his fellow managers, for the second year running. At a packed Awards Dinner held at the Crowne Plaza hotel, Nottingham, Coppell was received the coveted LMA Manager of the Year Award, just 12 months after receiving the same award.

The Royals followed a season in which they were promoted to the top flight for the first time, with an amazing 8th place in the Premiership, narrowly missing out on qualification for the UEFA Cup.

In a poll amongst all Football League and Premiership managers, Coppell was the overwhelming winner.

In the other Award Categories, Sir Alex Ferguson was the Barclays Manager of the Year. Roy Keane received the award as the Coca Cola Championship Manager of the Year, whist Yeovil Townâ€™s Russell Slade and Hartlepool Unitedâ€™s Danny Wilson were voted Coca Cola League One and League Two winners respectively.

The LMA Special Achievement Award was presented to long serving Crewe Alexandra manager Dario Gradi.

Why?!? Sir Steve had a fraction of the money to work with at did just as well (comparatively speaking...).

Which is who I was referring to. Should have been more precise and I apologise.

The Premier Manager of the year award is basically 'Manager who's team won the premiership' award. I don't think it's ever been won by anyone who's team didn't win the league.

COPPELL IS A ROYAL

Why the gaps in the award ?

Did they have seasons where no managers did well ? Or did they forget to give out the award ? or perhaps Neil Warnock won it and his name has now been expunged from LMA history...

When the generally emotionally guarded Steve Coppell describes winning the LMA Managers Manager of the Year as â€œthe pinnacleâ€
