Former Southampton manager Gordon Strachan has shared his thoughts on the club’s chances of survival as they prepare to return to the Premier League.
Strachan managed Southampton from 2001 to 2004, initially rescuing the team from a poor start in the 2001/02 season and later leading them to the 2003 FA Cup final.
A popular figure among the St Mary’s fans, Strachan understands what it takes to keep Southampton in the Premier League. Current manager Russell Martin is set to face his first experience in the top flight as a coach.
Martin hopes to secure key additions to the squad before the transfer window closes, but ultimately, it will be up to him to succeed with the players he has.
In an interview reported by the Daily Echo, Gordon Strachan shared what he believes will be crucial for Southampton’s survival in the Premier League.

Strachan identified “two things” that will determine Southampton’s fate in the Premier League.
Russell Martin has made a strong impression in his first season as the manager of the St Mary’s club, but he faces a tough challenge to build on that success next season. He has mended the strained relationship between the club and its fans following the 2022/23 relegation while implementing his possession-focused style of play.
