How can this ever be anything but an opinion based theme. How do you define success?
We can all real off managers who have won this that and the other spending the equivalent of a few developing nations GDP, but I would argue that a few such as Moyes could do that. Put these kings in his job and see where they fair. Most would fall by the way side or just couldn't mentally do it.
I'll go with Wenger as number one. He has spent a little more than an average mid to lower league Premier manager over the years and won trophy after trophy.
He is having a bad season, after losing a few virtually irreplaceable players but seeing it come good again. Ferguson has done it all granted but has consistently spent big money time and again. Not sure he could have done what Wenger did in the last 10 years when transfers were what they were.
The rest have done nothing except spend spend spend. Raffa's lack of league success takes the glitter off it, but if he'd spent as others have said under FSG, I'm not sure he'd be far from the summit.
