How does this affect Coventry Blaze...I thought he was part of the set-up/management there or has he dispensed with all that

Good signing, but better than what they had? Time will tell, but thommo and smith are under a lot of pressure now.

Give it till Xmas!
At least the Steelers can push all the blame on him if things go wrong being GM and coach.
2 year contract isn't worth the paper it's written on

Are the Steelers now the Coventry feeder team?

GM and Coach? I thought Smith was looking for "big changes" to make the Steelers operate more like NA/mainland European teams. Many of them have one guy for both front office and bench running duties? Ah well, at least Steelers are remaining true to recent form and being the refuge for Brits who have failed elsewhere, away from this little hockey backwater. Oh and just to remind 'Thommo' if he's watching... It's a limit not a target Thommo, but I guess it's easier to comment from afar when your job isn't potentially on the line... nothingbutgoodthings.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/paul-thompson-interview-part-2/ |

Good tweet from Jonno last night - hilarious. I think the clue was in the statement Smith made regarding u 20 ice hockey coaching. |

A 'Culture Change' Yeah right - gawd help us with Simms and Thompson together, the Steelers PR machine is going to be spewing out anti-Panthers bile daily.
At least we now realise that Smiths idea of culture change doesn't mean forward progressive thinking, it means taking the club back into the dark ages. All good for the rest of Us.

This whole situation is hilarious. Unless of course you are Gerard Adams or a Sheffield Steelers fan...

Owns shares in a competitor business? Yeah, I can't see any conflict of interests there... (Oh, and to answer your potential comeback, no I don't agree with Neil Black owning two teams either.) |

It'll be interesting, he does have 4 Elite Leagues to his name, although his later years at Coventry didn't really set the world on fire. We'll see. |

Thommo will be on the phone to Neal Martin right now..........."please Neal can you recruit me some players again like you did for me at Coventry".
The league is laughing at Sheffield behind the scenes,there is much merryment amongst other clubs.
