As a player Gordon
Strachan operated at 110 miles and hour and his management style is no different.
Coventry, though, have made slow progress and could face another relegation
battle. Bookmakers Surrey have clipped Coventry from 100-30 to 11-4 to be
relegated after 33 seasons in the top-flight. Bad sign!
 |
|
David Thompson
|
The main reason
for this surge of pessimism is the loss of Robbie Keane to Inter Milan, coupled
with the recent departures of Gary McAllister and Noel Whelan. Strachan may
have eased his striker crisis by signing Welsh international Craig Bellamy
from Norwich City, but the
Sky Blues have lost too many class players, from only a small-to-medium-sized
squad and they don't have a big squad anyway. Promising teenagers Gary McSheffrey
and Jay Bothroyd may have a big part to play before the season's out, although
Bellamy is the golden egg in Strachan's basket.
Moroccans Youssef
Chippo and Mustapha Hadji inspired the Sky Blues to some dazzling performances
at Highfield Road last season, but Coventry need to record some victories
on their travels to be alright this season. Their home form was top-six
potential, but only seven points and no wins away from home should have
seen them relegated by Christmas!

Bothroyd

On a positive
note, Strachan has such enthusiasm for the game and tries to get that sort
of consistent big game commitment from his players that there is hope. Whether
they have a big enough squad to cope with a relegation battle you would
doubt at the moment. How Strachan replaces his other stars is vital and
provided they use the money to improve the squad they will have a better
chance, but not much of one.
