10. Alan Pardew, Newcastle United
Three successive defeats, 11 goals conceded and a ban for headbutting an opposition player is hardly a great advert for Pardew currently.
However, the Englishman and second longest serving manager in the league has once again guided the Magpies to a solid year with limited funds.
In fact no permanent transfers have been made and yet Newcastle are almost certain of a top 10 finish.
