Gordon Strachan comic legend ( not a bad manager either)
Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England
squad?
Strachan: I don’t care, I’m Scottish
Reporter: “Gordon, can we have a quick word please?”
Strachan: “Velocity” [walks off]
Reporter: Welcome to SouthamptonFootball Club. Do you think you are the
right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and
I
said, “No, I think they should have got George Graham because I’m useless.”
Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan: You’re spot on! You can read me like a book.
Strachan: I’ve got more important things to think about. I’ve got a yogurt
to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority
rather
than Agustin Delgado.
Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you’ll be happy to get
your first win under your belt, won’t you?
Strachan: You’re right. It is a daft question. I’m not even going to bother
answering that one. It is a daft question, you’re spot on there.
Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I’m just going to crumble like a wreck. I’ll go home, become
an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.
Reporter: There’s no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we’re all quite positive round here. I’m
going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.
Reporter: where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan: Not telling you! It’s a secret.
Reporter: You don’t take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don’t take stupid comments lightly either.
Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbroughwere better
than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there.
