“I'm keeping great, thank you! Rest of the world's bonkers, but I'm fine!” And Gordon Strachan has every reason to be feeling fine. The sun’s out, Coventry City are up, and Strachan is at the stadium where “the vibe is wonderful, people are buzzing”, including his season-ticket-holding family.
And this was a non-match day. Today brings more celebration with the Championship trophy presentation at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
It will be a poignant moment for Strachan, 69. He was manager when Coventry tumbled out of the top flight 25 years ago. Strachan was under so much pressure during the season that he even got lost.
