Well, I don't see how you can have it both ways. If Martin was to take the blame if we were relegated, surely he deserves some credit that we've survived?
He hasn't taken us to 7th place in the SPL as Billy Reid did, and he hasn't had us in the top six for any significant period of time, as Alex Neil did during his half season. But it's a statistical fact that he has been in charge in three seasons that we've stayed up, a full two of which he was in sole charge. That makes him our most successful post-war manager.
It's also a vindication of the club policy of promoting from within. Suppose, as some wanted, we'd bought in a bigger name, like, say Paul Hartley (being touted as recently as two weeks ago)? We could be down.
Well done, Martin Canning!
