I am nominating this list of managers for my favorite team, the New England Revolution. I think this meets the criteria for a FL- it's comprehensive and thoroughly sourced. I mostly followed on the List of Arsenal F.C. managers for formatting, so this list includes prose overviewing the managerial history of the club, as well the list itself. Thanks in advance for reviewing!

Comments

• Lead image could be made larger
• "a ten-year run from May 2002 to October 2011" - pedantically, that's not ten years. Ten seasons would be accurate though, I believe.
• "honors won, which included a US Open Cup win in 2007 and a SuperLiga win in 2008, as well as four unsuccessful trips to the MLS Cup final" - losing the final isn't an honour. I would suggest retooling this to "honors won, having led the team to a US Open Cup win in 2007 and a SuperLiga win in 2008; during his tenure the Revolution also made four unsuccessful trips to the MLS Cup final"
• "Steve Nicol, a former Liverpool FC player" - any reason why you show the "FC" here but you didn't for Arsenal or Man U?
• "their first playoff victory, which was against the Chicago Fire)" - there's no reason for that closing bracket there
• "the club elevated Steve Nicol (current assistant and former interim coach) to be the head coach" => "the club elevated Nicol from assistant coach to head coach"
• Nicol photo caption needs a full stop
• "The 2007 season would bring a first: Nicol led the Revolution to a trophy: the 2007 U.S. Open Cup final," - double colon looks weird. Maybe "The 2007 season would bring a first as Nicol led the Revolution to a trophy, the 2007 U.S. Open Cup final,"

• I kept the second colon, othwerwise the sentence would read as if the Revs beat FC Dallas "in" the trophy, not in the final. Brindille1 (talk) 12:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• "ending a 10-year run with the team" - see earlier comment
• "First trophies under Steve Nicol (2002-11)" - when it's a date range, both years should be shown in full, not abbreviated
• "The next season, the team missed playoffs" => "The next season, the team missed the playoffs"
• "Honours" is spelt the British way in the table header
• No need to repeat Arena's full name in note d - you don't do that in notes b or c
• That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• With the current fixed width of 100em, the table goes off the screen of my desktop. It looks fine in previews without this restriction.
• Are the words "manager" and "coach" interchangeable? Maybe add a line or two of explanation for this OR consistently use the word "manager" everywhere.
• I converted 2 redlinks into redirects. Please do the same if you plan to add more.
• "the club won the Supporters' Shield for the first time in history," - this kind of implies that they won it again later. Please reword.
• "He would resign on September 9, saying" to "He resigned on ..."
• "was removed from his role three days later after Revolution players" to "was removed from his role three days later, after Revolution players"
• Put in an {{update after}} at the end of the "2019–present" section as a reminder to update the section periodically.
• That's all I got. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @MPGuy2824, I've updated according to your suggestions. Brindille1 (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Support promotion. Looks good. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

P.S. You'll want to add a "(pictured in <year>)" to the Frank Stapleton image caption since it was taken much before his stint as the manager. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:14, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Done! Brindille1 (talk) 13:55, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
