Gills has looked excellent under Canning at the start of this season and was great in the aforementioned spell. Crawford has lost interest and Docherty looks like a good player. Kurtaj and Imrie are dangerous too. The players are most definitely good enough.
The signing policy is terrible and hugely different to Neil's. Neil would sign a player and make them into established first team players with the odd exception. There isn't a doubt in my mind that Canning has no say in the transfers and the board are delighted that they can get on with their business without someone (Neil) in their way. I'm not saying they're happy we're awful (though I'm becoming more inclined to think so every match they spend with Canning) but they're happy they can do their own business. I mean our transfers have been terrible since Neil left:
Lucas - Good even if he has some howlers.
Kurakins - Not a footballer.
Turner - Awful.
Sumsky - Awful.
Kurtaj - Good but inconsistent.
Congo Chris - We'll wait and see.
Morris - Big donkey.
D'Acol - Not sure but today doesn't fill me with confidence.
Hasselbaink - Awful
Scotland - Did OK but re-signed after releasing him a couple of weeks before.
Chamorro - We'll never know.
I may be missing some but that's grim reading.
The manager isn't good enough and never should have been appointed after the 3 defeats as interim manager. When does that ever happen? We need to get someone else in as it can't be worse.

But what we can agree on is that it's not working just now at the club and has not since this time last year!

Financial stability and sustainability is not only a reference to the past record of the board its an absolute reality to the here and now and its disappointing that people still take it for granted even when its pointed out that allegedly one of our main competitors cant afford the players they have.
We have always been in the market of trying to get quality on the cheap. We didn't have to beat off competitors when we signed guys like MAC, Jesus, Andreau, Imrie.
But lets deal with the here and now; the last time we went down we were assured by many that it would be for a long time.................?
