If Gordon Strachan ever managed a team I supported..

He behaves like a nob to the media too, so they are really going to stick the boot in and he deserves it

[TightEnd]

To be fair to him, it is reported that he resigned and tore up his own contract and received no compensation


Not that he needs the money I don't suppose, but quite refreshing to see that

Do you still think he's a good manager?

Well, I thought he had a rough press at Celtic compared to the job he did (three titles in four years), and before that had a decent record at Southampton and Coventry (compare him at both compared to what followed at both)

At Coventry he kept them up for four seasons, I think.

At Southampton he took over a team in the bottom three of the PL, and finished 11th, and the Cup final a year later

Clearly though his non-performance at Middlesborough, and in particular his strategy of filling the team with Scottish imports who either didn't settle or weren't good enough, has been a severe dent to his reputation, such as it was

Middlesborough have a superb academy system, with many 17-19 year olds coming through, so its a good job for someone

What Strachan does have a record of is being unpopular with fans everywhere he has been towards the end of each tenure as we can see from a Coventry fan on this thread and celtic fans on this board going back 3 years

So, unfashionable as it may seem, I would maintain that his record is far better than his PR suggests.

You openly allow Coventry fans on Blonde!?

Unforgivable

Only the one, that I am aware of

Spends most of his time slagging off Leicester City. An easy target, lol

Its not that unfashionable, Ironside thinks he's a good manager too.

did you at least have some money on it?

[david3103]

I had it on very strong authority ( a random Boro fan at the Casino) that there was no way he was going because the new manager would need to totally revamp the squad and that would be too expensive...
