Premier League managers ranked by who would be best in a fight

Premier League managers ranked by who would be best in a fight? A football journalist has shared his thoughts it’s caused a lot of debate.

The Guardian’s Jonathan Liew has taken to Twitter and shared his list which features a few shock calls, Burnley’s Sean Dyche and Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe heading top of the trending section.

As can be seen, it’s Watford manager Nigel Pearson who takes top spot with Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo coming second, Dyche in third along with Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl and Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder make up the top five.

Tottenham’s Jose Mourinho, pictured below, came in at 15th whilst Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool was ranked 12th, fitting right in the middle.

However down at the bottom half, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer comes bottom, even behind 72-year-old Roy Hodgson.

As mentioned, the journalist’s list on Premier League managers ranked by who would be best in a fight has caused a huge amount of reaction, see what they said below…

Eddie Howe at 8 is absolutely criminal. There isn't a manager in the entire EFL that wouldn't volley him all over Bournemouth. All that would be left of him would be a crumpled Under Armour compression top next a P.E curriculum. https://t.co/we5qsK01tf

Howe in 8th? No chance. He's bottom 3, for sure.

How has Eddie Howe gone from 18th to 8th in 2 years!

Moyes would batter Rodgers, the great big phoney

Farke is like a James Bond villain, reckon he could take anyone there

If you honestly think Eddie Howe isn’t get leathered by Steve Bruce then you are an ostrich

I would put Klopp so much further up. He actually wouldn't give the first fuck about the damage. Would simply get completely into it. Nutjob

As a striker who regularly got kicked all over the pitch I would expect Solskjaer to be top 5. He could certainly handle the likes of Eddie Howe without breaking a sweat.

Literally.

Farke in 5th???? Have a word

— Andy Rodgers (@scousetralian) March 20, 2020

Not having Bruce in 11th. Not see him with Craig Hope? Thought he was going to dive over the table and bray him

I know you're going to get a lot of opinions on this and it's all subjective, but Wilder would stomp the christ out of Farke ?

I still think I would have Dyche as my champion if push came to shove.

Pearson drops every single one of them, right fully top pic.twitter.com/Bi6LxoRTL2

Am I reading this right? Howe above Klopp?

— Galeano (@LDOFootball) March 19, 2020

Moyes is grossly underrated at 10th. I've seen him try and have it out with Sralicks and numerous referees, deffo a hot head.

Arteta should be rock bottom. Cracking player but an absolute fanny. Once had a actual seizure on the pitch after trying to win a header.

What I'd pay to see Dyche and Pearson have a fight after a few beers.
