Next manager

Here’s a suggestion: ditch the criteria, unless you’re planning on re-appointing Stephen Kenny. Bring in one of the good managers out there who might do the job for the money on offer ( maybe throw in a complementary flat cap )-Allardyce, Pulis, Hodgson, Hughton, Lennon, Bruce, someone of that calibre-and “ trust the process” of making the team hard to beat again.

No explanation in relation to "contractual obligations". An apology without an explanation is not good enough. An apology with an explanation would still probably not be good enough! If something went seriously wrong they should just state that. They don't have to name any individual or throw anyone under the bus. Canham will be gone by end of year anyway, but if he has any integrity he should just go now.
