Top manager curse finally strikes
Posted by Nick on 14-01-2010
There's a superstition in professional football that says the manager of the month winner will always follow it up with a run of bad results - a superstition that quite often comes true.
And it seems that this same curse has finally hit Royal Holloway's Natalie Dobson, although it has taken a hat-trick of manager wins before she finally felt the effects.
Because not only was Natalie way down the list when it comes to points scored throughout December, denying her a fourth manager of the month gong, but her poor festive period has also seen her knocked off the top spot.
Richard Jee's Thoresby Terriers - who topped the monthly results with 384 points - has now usurped Natalie at the Theme Dream summit, and although it is only a nine point lead, it's still impressive given Hector's Heroes' early dominance. Natalie managed 259 for the month - the lowest in the top five and ninth out of the non-Theme Group members.
There have been some strange results of late thanks to the amount of cancelled games in the last fortnight, but for now Theme Dream has a new frontrunner. And as far as the week goes, I was top scorer with a staggering 22 points!
The current top five, coupled with their monthly scores, are as follows:
- Thoresby Terriers - 1,397 (384 December)
- Hectors Heroes - 1,388 (259 December)
- Down in Albion - 1,297 (302 December)
- Manchenster - 1,277 (275 December)
- Rookie Rangers - 1,242 (299 December)
