Why don't I have a manager?
Names wrapped in the Name Wrapper do not have a separate Manager field. The traditional Manager role is merged into the Owner role on the ERC-1155 token contract. Unwrapped names have both an Owner and a Manager. Subnames, whether wrapped or unwrapped, only have a Manager — they never have an Owner. See: Name Wrapper Overview
