The Premier League is drawing towards it’s conclusion and we are no closer to knowing who will be crowned champions come May.What we do know, however, is which clubs have overperformed and underperformed throughout the campaign.
6Record season
One of the more simple reasons why Nuno should be named manager of the year is because he has tumbled records with his side.Wolves have an inferior wage bill to the top six and their mid-table competitors such as West Ham, Everton and Leicester but they are miles ahead of them even though they haven’t featured in the top-flight since 2012.They have smashed their previous points record (40) with nine matches remaining and are on course to finish at least in the top eight this season.Since 2001, no newly-promoted club has finished in a higher position than 8th.
6Media approach
Nuno has also conducted himself in a very professional way in his approach to the media all season.He doesn’t moan when decisions go against his side – like the majority of managers do – and he has a very honest to the point approach to interviews, which cannot be said for many managers in the league.Pep Guardiola, as genius as he is, is much harder to read and doesn’t give anything away – and in contrast to the likes of Jose Mourinho, Nuno doesn’t make out the media are out to get him hell for leather.
6Style of play
Entertainment factor should be key in deciding which coach gets the top award – and Wolves are genuinely brilliant to watch both home and away.At Molineux, they give it their all to win every match, no matter who they face.This was first demonstrated this at the beginning of the season when they ground out a 1-1 draw against City and it hasn’t changed all season.They demonstrate the perfect shift between attack and defence, as seen by their 2-1 victory over Manchester United in mid-week.
6Recruitment
Nuno has to earn a lot of praise for his superb recruitment in the summer.He has made some quality buys but has also stuck true to his guns with some of his loyal Championship players – avoiding signing any unnecessary players which cost Fulham so dearly.
6Other contenders
Guardiola’s City have been incredible this season, but they haven’t changed how they played from their title-winning campaign last term.He added one player in the summer, Riyad Mahrez, who has been uninspiring, and they still play the exact same formation.
