Strachan will be newcastle manager by all accounts next year and knew this when he left southampton
On the calling players bit, I hate it when fans expect to slag a player off and then get the hump when they retaliate. If fans can't take it then don't give it.
We had it with everton this year. giving the players loads of abguse and then when the players score and make gestures back they all report it to the police around them. There's a line to cross with these footballers ala leeds players, newcastle players but a bit of name calling and retaliation is surely to be expected if you are going to give them the same?
