Gordon Strachan is a very good manager. He built 3 good teams at Coventry, and because the Chairman sold all of his players, it was like he was fighting a losing battle. You cannot blame Strachan for Coventry's demise, blame the Chairman.

mpost of the "top" managers nowadays dont manage they buy there way to the top

fergie took a aberdeen from nowwhere to the best team in europe and 2 euro tropheys

then took over at man u and managed united to domination over the EPL yes it took him years to gain that sucsess but that was time he was managing a team


now its a case of get in a manager and give him a few million and if he can't win the title in a couple of years get rid and see if they can find a manager who can buy the title

OK I am not falling for it.

Note: Wish my Smilies worked.

Respect to Nemeisis - pleased you can say what you did even though you are Spurs through and through.

Nice thread, very adult discussion.

Wenger for me - as already pointed out he manages the club, his input into all levels has proven to be as good as some of his transfer choices.
I think one of the things that will go against fergie when the history is written, for many years domesticaly they had no one to beat.  But I must confess I fear the treble will never be repeated but especially after todays score I fear I will never be able to show the maturity to Fergie that Nem showed to Wenger.

The last time I heard "QPR" and "Greatest ever player to kick a football" muttered in the same sentence the Hoop fan was on about Danny Shittu

Well Tighty, the Glory Days are a dim memory, but hope springs eternal. But football to me has lost the glamour of the old days, when you could turn up to a match without consulting the Bank Manager. Its been awhile since I've seen the mighty Rs; livin in exile from London in the frozen tundra of the North.
