Here we go again....

As the new league is about to kick off I thought that a footie poll would be in order.

Criteria for inclusion is that they've won at least two trophies, either domestic (Premier/old division one championship, FA Cup, League Cup) or European (Champions league, UEFA Cup, Cup Winners Cup etc), or a major title with another European club hence El Tel is in but no Dave MacKay.

No doubt there's some worthy I've missed, so feel free to moan about it below.

I can't be bothered googling - who are these people: George Allison, Harry Catterick, Joe Harvey, Bob Jackson, Stan Seymour, and Tom Whittaker?

I'm still choosing Jock Stein

George Allison -Arsenal manager 2 titles and an FA cup, just slipped through the net as he was manager in 1947, but the trophies were in the 30s.

Harry Catterick - Everton, 2 league titles and an FA cup.

Joe Harvey - Newcastle, various noddy European cups in the early 70s

Bob Jackson - Portsmouth, 2 league titles

Stan Seymour - Newcastle, 2 FA cups.

Tom Whittaker - Arsenal, 2 league titles and an FA cup.

I did think about putting Stein in, but then I'd have to have put a whole slew of other Scottish managers in (Smith, Wallace, McLeish etc) most of whom did nowt of any note down south.

1. Alex Ferguson
2. Bob Paisley
3. Matt Busby

Eh, I'm predictable ...

Paisley
Shankly
Ferguson/Clough tied (hate them both, but they know/knew how to manage)
