eez-eh Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If it is Canning then that just puts a huge dampener on all the good work that’s been going on behind the scenes the last few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have it on great authority that it will not be Canning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If we’ve interviewed Canning then you have to imagine the calibre of candidate who have applied/being interviewed is quite low. If someone like Jack Ross had shown an interest he would of got the job straight away imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Maybe we will get a management announcement like this tomorrow, a new manager and 6 new players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I heard we approached individuals rather than taking applications, so I would like to think that immediately rules out the likes of Canning even being interviewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He managed a winless run of 13 games straight off the bat with a team that had barely lost a game all season when all he had to do was keep it going. No idea if that scarred him but you'll genuinely never such cowardly tactics as what he then put for years with Hamilton. They literally never had a go at a single club afterwards, and I include some cup losses to absolute dross in that. Sit deep. Kick long. Pray. Yeah I've no idea why you're bringing up his "great coaching experiences" since leaving Hamilton, considering the last 3 years have been spent coaching kids at (and I'm not making this name up) North Kelvin United. The rest was spending one or two days watching teams train before he's away back home. If you've hired him on the basis he's been coaching at Real Betis and Leicester then you've got that one really, really, wrong and been absolutely duped if he's claimed that. Aye, he doesn’t seem to have done anything over the past six years other than visit different clubs. I’m sure it would be helpful in terms of some aspects, but it is hardly going to lead to some great development of his management ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means if it was to go wrong with the head coach we only need to replace him instead of the whole back room staff. It would also allow for continuity if someone has to step in as interim coach Bit if both I would think , but feel mainly Mathie and Glendinning will have the biggest input 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 2 hours ago, Finlay21 said: That was 6 years ago , he has been appointed in a coaching capacity at some big clubs in the last 6 years working on learning from his mistakes , I would think he will be in a much better position now to coach a club with the knowledge and experience he has picked up , Lets not get carried away. He's been invited to observe / contribute to training for a few sessions, as lots of out of work coaches do. It's to his credit but he's not been "appointed" to anything and wasn't employed by any of them. He's been doing community coaching and scouting (I think he did a couple of games scouting for us at one point). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, and you'll notice me saying I think Davidson has fucked us this season and all the signs point to him becoming a failure of a manager if he doesn't adapt. Not entirely sure why that means I can't comment on Canning tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of a poor season 6 years ago and he has done a power of coaching since to gain experience Why do you keep going on about 6 years ago? He only left Hamilton just over 2 years ago.

I don't know, there were rumours circulating all over Andalusia that Canning was the mastermind behind the recently implemented Betis attacking flair and that Sergio Canales had found a new lease of life since working with him. It may just be unfounded but that's what was being said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the better appointment - Martin Canning or Brian Rice? Some important context of just how bad this could be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
