The Spanish striker, What Spanish striker?

This is why i do not attend games i am a fan and no longer suporter of this Board.

I must have missed the supportive comments of the team or manager (that you might expect from a fan); your posts just seem to be doom and gloom and almost gloating in any mistakes or misfortune, on and off the park.[/quote]

Give me two things since canning took over that has been positive? The 2/3 wins seam a distant memory and a blip of good fortune![/quote]

So in response to being labeled a doom merchant you ask for 2 positive things and then give an example of 3; which you then write off as luck! Almost gloating.

Not gloating

You class me as doom and gloom, you are the polar oppist the club and canning can do no wrong!

So tell me what is the two things canning and the board have done correct since Alex left?

Ticket price - nope

Good signings- posabaly with a good manager

Communication with the fans - Nope

I'm struggling please help me see through your rose tinted googles.

You can search thro my posts to see a variety of opinions, some positive some not so.

When kurtaj was rumoured to be leaving you were bemoaning us missing out on signing him, now he is perhaps no good in your eyes - well in your head or on paper as you haven't seen him. Chamorro signing hardly raised a view from you but his leaving is treated as if we have lost a goal scoring genius. Kurakins remains to be seen, Lucas could be good.

I came out and criticised the ticket price and have repeatedly slated the club over comms - so we do agree on some things.

I have also never came out in any great praise of MC, just simply giving him the space that any manager is due. If between 4 and 6 games is what the standard is then good luck recruiting any manager against that criteria.

Good post about what I've said

Still can you give me two positives please.

Financially stable - only as a result of the current board and its policies since saving the club from disappearing
Thriving youth set up
being higher placed than numerous clubs of a similar size or far bigger

PS feel free to retract your inaccurate rose tinted spectacles type stuff.

This is down to other clubs not offering enought more than our club doing any thing.
Keeping Crawford (so far)
Keeping McGovern (so far)

So to round up you are happy with a defender and three wins!

Some of these things MC certainly can't be given credit for? Promoting from within worked amazingly for Alex Neil, but this policy won't always work. I can actually forsee Dougie getting an Asst/Managers job in a couple years if the same philosphy is followed.
Crawford/Mcgovern/Gordon are exceptional talents, I'd be very surprised if we can keep them any longer than this season.

I love my club, I just want to see what's best for them, Canning isn't what's best for the club.
If I remember my count, Canning has had 18 games in charge last season, 2 this season. 3 wins, 11 losses, 6 draws. Also 36 goals conceeded. Those stats *Regardless of circumstances* would be a sacking of 99% of managers in modern football.

He shouldn't have got the job in the first place. He lost all three of his games as caretaker including an abysmal 5-0 defeat at the hands of Partick Thistle. I think there were 2 reasons why he got it:
1) He was most likely the cheapest option
2) He isn't a strong personality (unlike Neil) so that gives Ronnie/Les more of a say.
We won't see the back of him until he steps down. There's a good team hidden there but Canning isn't the man to take it forward as he simply isn't a good manager.

So to round up: you asked for 2 positives (repeatedly) - so I gave you some and you accept 4.

At no point was my happiness or otherwise part of your question, but as usual your points are all over the place. 3 wins is infinitely more than you predicted right enough

PS I could have added Buezelin to the list; as he gets any credit from you when things go ok on the pitch?
