Strachanisms

These are great quotes from a now-retired Premier League Manager (soccer)



>Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney : Its an incredible rise to stardom, at
17
>you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran
>Eriksson (England coach).
>
>
>
> Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the
>England squad?
>
>Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish.
>
>
>
>Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
>
>Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off]
>
>
>
>Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football 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: Is that your best start to a season?
>
>Strachan: Well I've still got a job so it's far better than the
>Coventry one, that's for sure.
>
>
>
>Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
>
>Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book.
>
>
>
>On Augustine Delgado:
>
>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. 'll go home,
>become an alcoholic and maybe jump of 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 Middlesbrough were
>better than you today?
>
>Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there....
