D'Jaffo Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 If Accies fans were giving Canning the same treatment that we gave Hopkin then that’s ridiculous. Canning had his team punching above their weight whilst David Hopkin probably set this club back a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Keeping Hamilton in the prem two seasons in a row with a team like Hamilton is a decent achievement in my book if appointed he ticks both box's as a you a coach he's only 40 but has previous high level experience, it would not be the most exciting appointment but I think it could work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Not sure some people get the point that the difference between being a team manager and a head coach is massively different, at Ayr there will be a team looking after recruitment and contracts and the guy we are appointing is only focusing on a playing style and gelling a squad into a team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be delighted if whoever it is can manage that) You say that now, but it would be brutal in here during a 28 point season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the biggest problems was his recruitment tbh. Of course the manager prior to Canning was Alex Neil so he would've had big shoes to fill in that aspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was also involved in an alleged altercation at McDiarmid park where his Dad apparently got involved. Let's just say that he was being called clueless, lost the dressing room and was apparently playing negative and terrible football near the end of his tenure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Alex Neil rates him very highly , recently said if he gets another job soon that he would be approaching Canning to be his assistant, if he gets the job that says enough for me to think he should be ok 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I always thought Canning done a decent job at Accies. I’d imagine they had they smallest budget in the two seasons he kept them up but think he played quite negative football however that is understandable due to reason stated above. Accies fans seemed to despise him for some reason but they do seem a really hard fan base to please. If he gets the job it’ll be a bit of a meh appointment but could of been worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Irrespective of who we get, I'll be supporting them and giving them the benefit of any doubt. As we've already mentioned, virtually anyone we get will have failed elsewhere, either that or they'll be untried so it is what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 See at the end of the day - Canning (or whoever) plus Mathie and Glendinning and whoever we bring in as backroom staff with Smith in charge will be the most positive i've been about an appointment since McCall came in, and even then that was just simply because he had managed before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
