Gordon Strachan is a genius
Anyone who has paid any attention to football this week will know that Celtic have had an appalling start to their season. Nine goals conceded in two games has seen them almost certainly knocked out of Europe and dropping two points today against Motherwell. Their new boss Gordon Strachan is already under pressure from many quarters to resign.
This is irrelevant though, as Gordon Strachan is a genius. Maybe not at management - the jury is very much out on him still - but when it comes to talking to the media, Strachan is one of the funniest people out there at it. The Torygraph have published a few of his best ones today, which I feel compelled to pass on to you all now.
Reporter: "So Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?"
Strachan: "What areas? Maybe that big green one out there."
Reporter: "Gordon, you must be delighted with that result."
Strachan: "You're spot on. You can read me like a book."
Reporter: "Do you think you're the right man to turn things around here at Southampton?"
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, can we have a quick word please?"
Strachan: "Velocity."
I hope that he sticks around football for a long time, because we need to hear more of those works of genius in the future.
