OK. Makes total sense. Much as I expected, tending to lean towards Strachan's explanation because he was so publicly open.
I also have always harbored the theory that he was somehow nasty to the lowest level employees, and that this p***ed off Strachan. These are the people that take the most abuse and have the least power and responsibility. But it's always the little guys that bullies prey on. I have no use for this behavior. I've course, I'm not saying he WAS one, just a theory.
Anyway, thanks for the enlightening "No comment." Hah!
