Don't mean to be a profit of doom, but I think appointing Canning is a mistake.
In the few games he's be in charge, we've played really badly.
I don't believe he's got it in him to be a good man manager and tactically he hasn't got what it takes.
It's not as simple as just repeating what Alex did, the motivational thing has got to accompany what Alex also did.
Being "popular" in the dressing room isn't necessarily a good thing. You've got to be respected and to some degree feared.
I understand the club's idea of appointing from within, but Neil was special and I believe Accies have missed a great opportunity to appoint a really good manager.
As far as I'm concerned, with 10 games remaining before the split, if we don't achieve a top 6 position, then Canning was the wrong appointment and I personally would want him removed before the start of next season.
I'm wondering if we had got the money for Hendrie, if Canning would have been the choice.
Think Beuzelin is a good appointment, and I really do hope Canning works out, but I suspect that come summer, we'll be looking for a new manager.
I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
