I had hoped that with Canning gone we could have reset the negativity button on here, but obviously not !
While Brian Rice may not be my choice, I think we have got to trust Allan Maitland to make an appointment which will fulfil the criteria he has outlined in the media, someone to bring in a bit of flair and who will prepare and use a pathway for the academy players to progress into the first team. He has also had the balls to sack Canning when most, if not all, of us didn't think that would ever happen, and has given reasons which chime with what many fans held against Canning, particularly the negativity of playing not to lose rather than trying to win. He has also taken the fans recent and ongoing reaction to Canning into account and to me this means he is due some slack and trust in his judgement.
If whoever is appointed fails to rise to the task then we can start complaining again, but until then I'm willing to give Maitland my backing to make the right call.
On the outskirts of nowhere, on the ring road to somewhere, on the verge of indecision, I'll always take the roundabout way.
