Cheer up people - this is a positive move.
Two things have been abundantly clear as the season has gone on - 1) the two managers thing hasn't really been working and 2) Canners can't cut it at this level as a player any more - it's a shame but after all the injuries his legs have gone and the last 2 home games have shown this very clearly.
Jason comes across as an intellient bloke with a decent football brain. With an assistant who has a bit more experience in certain areas of management, I think he will develop into a decent manager.
Many other teams in this league have assistant managers on the bench. It's not something we've ever really done, other than the Evans era, and I think it will benefit the club with the right man in place. Let's wait and see who it is before jumping to conclusions/criticising.
As for the comments about things being done on the cheap - firstly, if you want bigger budgets put your hand in your own pocket. But also, 'cheap' doesn't necessarily mean bad. S&H came from a smaller club with little experience. Look at some of the other successful managers in this league - Steve Housham came from Brigg, Steve Kittrick from Osset; hardly big money signings. In contrast, if you get a big budget big name you could end up with a Brian Little (or a Steve McLaren at Forest)
We all need to get behind Jason and his new assistant - get down to York Street at the start of next season, let's get some money coming in through the turnstiles and see what we can do.
