11) Tony Pulis (West Bromwich Albion)
Another new arrival, like Pardew he has already had a positive impact on a club battling against relegation. He’ll need to continue that form to keep his job beyond the end of the season.
10) Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool)
It’s been a difficult season for Liverpool – struggling in the league and falling at the first hurdle in the Champions League. However, things have taken an upturn over the last couple of months, and he’s won a lot of fans back onside.
