Well, that was challenging to watch. Thing is, canning has still a season or two as a player. How can he resign as manager and still stay on as a solid defender and as a key part of the squad - but how can he stay at the club while admitting he has been a failure of an appointee manager? Very difficult. I did suggest calderwood as a replacement/mentor, but on the basis that we are all flying kites on this forum, where does the club go from here?
Surely, his position as player manager is now untenable, that must be a given. He won't make the grade. Keep him, or move him on in the close season.
We need to write this season off, and look to a season where St mirren and Motherwell go, to be replaced by the edinburgh twosome. The bottom 6 next season, will include hamilton, Ross county, killie, Dundee and Thistle and possibly hibs or Stjohnstone. These will be the relegation and play off candidates. We need to get the campaign strategy for next season right. Let canning finish off the shambles that this season has become. He has been a good servant of the club, and deserves the dignity of that.
Renew his contract at the end of the season as a player, but FFS, bring in a manager immediately at the end of the season to plan for the tough season that will be in front of us.
Being realistic, if nothing changes at the end of the season, do the BoD think there will be much in the way of season tickets sold in advance?
