Gordon Strachan has blasted back at Jota’s critics over his big money move to Saudi Arabia and insisted "they would all do the same!’
Alan Brazil launched a blistering live radio attack on the Portuguese winger, branding him a “mercenary”, and Record Sport columnist and former Celtic strike hero Chris Sutton accused him throwing away his top level football career. But ex Hoops gaffer Strachan, who managed Sutton during his time in charge at Parkhead, defended Jota over his move and says EVERY player in Britain will be hoping for a Saudi Pro League switch to earn the big bucks.
Strachan said: “It's easy for people to question the players' desire, but once that money is presented to you, it becomes hard to turn down. And I bet the pundits that are criticising him would all do exactly the same thing if they were offered the chance to.
