Sorry you can't argue with Mick Gynn its against the rules
So spending £18,000 a week on a striker in the championship who cost £5 million wasn't supporting the manager?
I can't remember who we sold the season before other than Keane but his replacement cost £6 million and was an instant hit the following season.
He bacane obsinate and ran out of ideas. Anyway it was obvious the team were floundering so he should have been sacked regardless of circumstance.
Not sacking a manager early after going down?
So you'd have kept strachan?
There at his final game were you? The board wouldn't have got out the next game alive if he had been in charge.
Can I just say thanks to everyone for keeping on topic and giving me a bit of an insight into what fan feeling was like. Seems that maybe from the outside Strachan seemed like he was worth a chance, but the climate wouldn't have allowed him to stay even if we wanted to and perhaps circumstance allowed Strachan to be seen as better than he was. Is that right?
Dammit! I said I didn't want to summon Grendel!
I didn't want to bring Thorn in as I think info that's known now shows the guy needed to go. But I stick by my point that in general the first few months down are a bad time to make long term judgements. Everyone is acclimatising, not just the manager.
I think there was certainly an air of "...but it's Gordon Strachan!" about his time here. I know we'd had Neal and Butcher by then but he was the first big "name" footballer to have anything to do with us, so I think some held him in awe a little. For me he was too inflexible and rigid in his approach. Ultimately he cost us our place in the Premiership. Really, with the squad and resources he had at his disposal we should never have struggled like he did. I mean, how much money did he pump into the Honduran economy!?

The Hondurans certainly was a strange one
Weren't they forced upon him?
Could it have something to do with the original purpose of ccfc limited ... third party player ownership?

The Hondurans and Zuniga were signed by Richardson. Strachan actually said Richardson went to South America rang him and told him I've signed this goalscorer from South America.
There was also i think investigation conducted as we were paying an Eastern European scout who claimed he'd never heard of the club. I'm sure that was a story unearthed by Patrick Collins. You have to question a lot of the signings -Moldovan, Evotshuk, Normann, Johannson etc. most hardly ever played.
