pilsburydoughboy Posted 25 May, 2009 Share Posted 25 May, 2009 WGS was the best thing to happen to us in years. He got the players fitter than any Saints team and we played with belief. I would love it if he came back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW11_Saint Posted 25 May, 2009 Share Posted 25 May, 2009 I would really doubt it. Why, because he left Saints at such a time when we were way ahead of where Sunderland are now, he just did not see the rewards or possibilities at that end. I have spoken to him a fair bit in the past but you don't get anything out of him. The snippet's come from his reactions to various news or circumstances. I firmly got the belief that his sacking at Coventry left a scar that has not healed completely to this day. What he is like know I have little idea but I find it difficult to believe he would go to Sunderland just for the money. I get the feeling there is only so far he can take a team with his skill sets which are primarily fitness and attitude related. These things tend to run their course after a while, the genie gets let out the bottle and he can't put it back in. It would come as no surprise if he became manager of Scotland or possibly one of the bigger Premier teams just out of the top 4. Failing that, it would not surprise me if he turned up at Newcastle. Yes, but if they get this rumoured injection of £200m, and they want him, then he has the potential to take the club onto the 'next level'. I may be wrong, but all of the rumours currently seem to point to him going there. We'll see. Sadly, we can safely say he won't be making a return to Saints!

ooohTerryHurlock Posted 25 May, 2009 Share Posted 25 May, 2009 You seem to be confusing Gordon Strachan, by a country mile the most popular Saints manager of the Sky era and welcome in any pub in the city whatever he does for the rest of his life with Glenn Hoddle, who is a c***. Classy Mr Fry..... very classy! Glass houses my son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW11_Saint Posted 25 May, 2009 Share Posted 25 May, 2009 Yes, if Celtic want him, I reckon he'd go. Possibly, he is Celtic mad. Tony Mowbray may be a decent outside bet - half decent managerial credentials, ex-Celtic player, and has managed in Scotland before. Also, it'll be a nice change from "boing-boing-ing" between the Prem and CCC with WBA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintstr1 Posted 25 May, 2009 Share Posted 25 May, 2009 As a Celtic Fan as well as a Saints fan I think you will find that Mark Mcghee is about 1-10 on to replace our Gordon at Celtic park. As for Gordon it is anybodys Guess were he will end up, But my feeling is it will be somewhere that will be a surprise to the footballing world. A lot of Celtic fans did not appreciate what they had in Gordon and next season they just might wish they had cut him a bit more slack. ME, I loved him when he was at St Marys and loved him even more at Parkhead. Thanks Gordon for 6 trophys in 4 years and good luck in whatever you do next , maybe , just maybe you could consider a unfinished job at SMS.

Killers Knee Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 Unlike Saints, Sunderland seem capable of attracting investors and now have a reported £200m transfer budget for next season. That would make an interesting project for the wee man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirra Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 I'm a Celtic fan & frankly they won 3 titles DESPITE Strachan, not because of him. A lucky manager rather than a good one with unbelieveable team selection and strategy. Only had to beat the worst Rangers team in 30 years & bought more crap than a manure supplier. Was an embarrassment at media briefings & suffered from "wee man syndrome". Served up some of the most turgid football I've ever seen & couldn't win away from home. Apart from that, he was OK.

That would make an interesting project for the wee man. I may be wrong but I can`t believe that many (if any) clubs would have a £200m transfer budget for next season, let alone The Mackems. Incedently, there was a rumour around early last season that WGS was coming back and would be manager by Christmas. Oh well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF are you talking about - the title of the thread is Strachan -what relavance does that have to the support. He was good for us - he's gone (I think he was pretty good for you too), he's history. The fact that you are complaining about winning 3 titles in the last 4 years and we have won sh@g shyte for nigh on 35, but are still passionate about our team shows how much we support our team. You continue supporting and whinging about your lot in that totally boring '2 horse race' that you call football and we will continue to support our team in a competative league - through good times and bad. Now that we have got that straight - there probably is nothing else more to say really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
