Depends who puts the biggest bid in, money talks at the end of the day. Kelman was saying they had to pay the league to host it, he probably bid £50 quid more than us..lol. I see Steeltalk is in absolute meltdown, didn't realise they disliked Tom and Jerry that much.

Thommo will be gone before Neilson. They won't accept 2nd best. Panthers on the other hand...

Be interesting to see where they host the final next season. Sheffield have had it,Cardiff did,Belfast is too far,Braehead similar and nowhere else is big enough. Looks like Nottingham then ! They'll hold it in Cardiff again probably as the venue is free of charge. Guess it makes sense when there are only two of the same four teams who make the final. Bit pointless making 3500 fans travel up to Braehead. 😉

Final needs to be held in the same place each year, or go back to 2 legged finals.
Personally I think Thommo will return to either Denmark or Coventry. They're usually quite prompt regarding coaching failures and sackings.

Personally I think we should go for Gerad Adams before he gets snapped up again by Sheffield or Braehead

Don't think he's worked in hockey since they sacked him ? but do you really think he would go back to Sheffield? its abit like Adey and us I would lthink he wouldn't touch us with a 10' barge pole.

He was always competitive in Cardiff on a smallish budget through the bad years,so in Nottingham with a "supposed" big budget he should be laughing. He certainly recruited some very good players and I can't remember many if any bad ones. Keeps intimating he might throw his hat back into the coaching ring too,if the right offer comes along. He would also no doubt love to stick it right up the Steelers too after the way they fired him ! 😀

The only decent teams he had were recruited for him by Neal Martin !

Didn't he win the league last season? I'm guessing Neal didn't recruit that lot.

I think people are doing Thompson a bit of a disservice here. Levi Nelson is an irritating twerp but nonetheless a fantastic player recruited by Thompson. That's just one examples let off the top of my head
And Adams certainly didn't recruit perfectly by any stretch of the imagination at the Devils. He recruited Didiomete for one who to this day is still a little bit of a clown.
Finnerty IMO has been an excellent recruiter but a poor coach. He's picked up some gems that have played really well but he's constantly out coached by the others in the league in those big games.
