Keep GM as he could sell ice to the Eskimos but appoint a media officer to help connect the club with the fans. Organise more game night experiences for fans and competitions so I don't feel like I've gone to a zoo to watch animals play in a cage and leave.
Then I'd discuss with Corey what he truly thinks has gone wrong these last 2 years. If he feels as though he can do better and honestly thinks that then I'd probably give him 1 more year to at least improve. If he wants out, nudge Paul Adey or Chuck Weber. I'd also be doing my best to get Mr Ling back.
And also as a side note, I'd get in touch with a professional media company who would want to put professional videos to help promote and hype up the fans. Especially our intro video.
AND WEBCASTS

Have to agree that the match night experience needs to be improved - sick and tired of seeing GM the GM helping an old lady off the tram - commentator OK as long as it is not GM the GM - Have every respect for GM the GM after how he helped when we lost our daughter 10 years ago but he needs to move with the times - become a true GM and get people in below him to give some ideas and get competitive costs - As for Cory I agree again, give him the money and the freedom and see what he can do - After-all the Steelers fans wanted to get rid of their entire team a few weeks ago - the singing has improved this season but that is down to block 18 the rest is too quiet - we used to have cheerleaders (bring back the Hooters girls) that will fill the place, maybe a live group for the intervals, Nottingham is a great place for new bands and I am sure they would welcome the spotlight - and finally train the Arena staff to do their job and stop watching the game or talking instead

I think the club needs new ideas and fresh impetus, on and off the ice, so I'd remove all 3 (Neilson, Strachan and Moran). Thanks for everything they've done and all that, but time to roll the dice.

Definitely need to improve the match night experience, it's old and stale. Coventry do some great events with the team and fans, let's learn from them. Let's also get a good intro video, the later one this season was ok but it could be much better imo.

Don't think Lepine will come back until he's nearing the end of his career. Got a good, solid spot with Binghamton in the AHL at the moment and he's doing quite well.
As for us, i'd get rid of Moran. Find someone who has more on their mind than money money money. Keep Corey, give him a one year contract. Have a summer camp and invite young british players to have a try out.. would give our coaching staff to see what players are coming through and then potentially take them under their wing and develop them. Set up an official link with an EPL club too and implement a proper 2-way system.

Tell Moran to treat fans with respect instead of disdain. Sign a good coach to replace Neilson,but keep Strach's. Sign two spare imports and a squad of 22. Make sure we had a top goalie,quality first line centre and at least one stud d man. Play at least 3 or 4 pre season games. Make sure we stayed out of Europe. Ensure if we had the choice we always played a second leg at home. Stop lowering my club to the smaller teams level. Offer more incentives to the loyal fans. Revamp the match night presentation and stop being so nice to other teams. More kids for a quid on midweek games. Get back to just three colour shirts,gold,black,white...nothing else. Ban the word "fabulous" when referring the arena. Tell Ken not to bother talking in warm up,cos it spoils the music and you can't hear what he says anyway. Ask Stef to wait til the other team is off the ice before announcing our mom. Make player interviews interesting. Be more open and honest with the fans. And don't treat the fans as cash cows.
What more could you ask !

We can't sign any player that Gary could humiliate with borderline offensive puns. He's the Prince Philip of the Panthers!

Agree with all but the Europe bit. Agree with most of what's been said. I personally think the whole being in Europe ruined our season is a bit of a scapegoat. If the team didn't have their heads up their backsides during that February meltdown we might have won the league cos we were right in contention up til that point. Definitely agree about improving the match night presentation it completely half arsed and does nothing to get the crowd going. And we need a squad with a lot more pedigree befitting of what is supposed to be the biggest club in the league. None this season boast the cv's of ling, fox etc from the grand slam season. Think we need a change of coach to. Corey has brought a lot of success to the club but things have gone stale over the last two seasons and I think we need some fresh ideas.

I don't have a problem with Europe,as long as it doesn't affect the EIHL season. The trouble is it always does,whether it's Panthers or whoever it always has a bad effect.
Look at this season,Panthers and Belfast both did nothing league wise and virtually every other EIHL team before them that has ventured into Europe has struggled too.

I would make the clubs finances available to view.
Would stop all the speculation about how much/how little the club receive and spend.

How come we can make hundreds of thousands of pounds but can't put up a league challenge or quality for POFW 2 years running???
