Strachan was a poor manager. As highlighted by his repeated failures since. Yes he may have done 'okay' for a season, but then, look at the money he had to spend? I'll never forget him complaining (after failing to beat a nine man Forest at HR) how difficult it was to play against nine men.

No matter how much you want it to be; A lack of further failure isn't 'success'. We are a League 1 club that's had 10 managers in the last 8 years (incl caretakers). I don't think, even you, would think that we've not had enough changes to blow the theory that success comes from repeated...

Odds on a Murphy equalizer ? :D

They were always stale

More of a distraction from a losing argument...

He's a 'luxury player' that a team can't afford to carry when it's balls-to-the-wall...
