Premiership: Strachan admits the future is bleak
Coventry manager Gordon Strachan has admitted that he faces an "uphill struggle" to keep his side in the Premier League. The Sky Blues have not won a league game since Boxing Day and are currently second from bottom of the table, seven points from safety.
Strachan has eight games left to guide Coventry to safety and is in no doubt what must be done if the midlanders are to extend their 34-year run in the top flight. "If people are resigned to relegation, that is their mentality," he said.
"We have just got to try to keep the negative vibes out and stay with the positive ones. I have told the players that if they want to stay in the Premier League, their destiny is in their own hands, but it is an uphill struggle now and I won't let anyone tell us differently," added the Coventry boss.
"I won't build up any false hopes or make any false promises. All I can promise is that we will work as hard as we can to get out of this."
