Well deserved. He did a terrific job under any circumstances, but to mastermind that title winning run in after the loss of his mum was something else.

Congratulations. He's probably done a deal or two while he's been there.

The LMA award is voted for exclusively by his peers. The EFL award is voted on by an ‘expert panel’ which isn’t disclosed.

I had my doubts this year but he dispelled all of them. Held his nerve superbly when everyone else was panicking. Top man.

And that makes it a truly valuable prize to win.
The EFL award is nonsense.
Well Done Mr McCann and all of your team- Superb!!

Graham Alexander won the "other one" - perhaps based on the number that have failed there and perhaps their very numerous fans have undue influence!

you don’t have to go that far back, someone put a poll on this site not that long ago asking how long he should be given, maybe this should be re posted and we can all laugh at it.

Especially if the ones who said to go were man or woman or whatever else, to now admit it and put their forum IDs up as well

Top award for a top manager, had my doubts around Christmas time. To win the title & have to go through what he went through in his personal life speaks volumes of the man. Well done Grant, a thoroughly deserved accolade. We are so lucky to have him.

After what happened last time it made sense to do so.

Reflecting back I was out of order.

I know very little about the mechanics of professional sport but that doesn’t stop me giving my two penneth - usually wrong !

I sat next to Grant at a game when he had been banished to the stands. He lived and asessed every kick of the ball with his heart and soul. It is obvious that he is dedicated to DRFC with every fibre of his being, we could not have a better or more dedicated Manager than him.

It's OK, Philsky. He's still "the snake" but he's our snake, and he's out in the wild, hunting titles.

We've ADDERed another title since his return. Who cares!
