4 Years and only 3 Conference 'Trophies' to show for it.
I'd like to see him stay in the league, perhaps give Storm, MK or Guildford a go. Can't handle the bigger teams.

I'm pretty surprised they pulled the trigger, but the right decision for me.

May not be a big surprise but given the wording of the release this decision suggests FINNERTY may have other plans as well.

Wonder if Corey fancies the job? Knowing our luck he'd take the job and win five titles on the trot! |

I'm expecting to see a certain Gerard Adams in Braehead next season.

That wouldn't surprise me either, cos no one wants to come here and work for GM & NB. No wonder half the players we always want to keep turn us down after the first year. You'll soon tell when you see if McGratten comes back.

Apparently Finnerty put in a bid to buy Blaze. Wonder if he will look to MK instead?

The rumour is Riley Emmerson, apparently he commented a few months back saying if the Clan job came up he would definitely be interested.
Doesn't have the record but has the spirit and respect you'd like to see from a coach.
If not him, either a Walser type player coach or Adams.

Well, surely if Black got rid of Finnerty today, then if Corey is going he'll be gone this week. I wont hold my breath

I wont hold my breath I wish he would fire Neilson,but i can't see it with Panthers in the CHL next season. Basically,Corey has got only 17 weeks to sign next years squad AND get them HERE in Nottingham to make Mr Blacks 7th August deadline. A new coach by the time he was signed,would have even less time ! I dread to think what players we are going to end up signing. 😩 |

was Finnerty on a two year contract before the start of the season or was he on a single year? granted it doesn't matter at all because contracts aren't worth squat but just be interesting to know.
Can't see Corey getting the chop, he is pretty much a nodding dog to those above him. Think he'd do well in another league in Europe. We need to get a hard nosed type in like G think he could do a lot with the club personally.
Time will tell.

I feel in recent years we have waited too long to sign guys on the hope that someone good whos not been picked up is avalible. Other teams manage to get quality imports in mid summer. Maybe this will force our hand. Or maybe im just clutching at straws... |

Maybe this will force our hand. Or maybe im just clutching at straws... I know what your saying. But to sign quality imports who will commit to getting here early August is asking a lot. Realistically,to get them here on that timescale,allowing for visa's etc,you have got to probably be signing them in June or very early July. We saw it last time we were in the CHL. And we ended up with a right old collection of misfits and guys who were in the "I'm just thankful for a job,where do I sign camp" and we all know where that season ended up going ! |

Just enjoy your summer before it gets ruined by panthers signing players!! my benchmark is sheffield's team from this season, proven quality and plenty of point scorers, exactly what we lacked this year. we'll really see what mindset we have when we come out with a similar team to our last CHL campaign, relying o nthe likes of Jacina and Parent to score goals against a swedish elite league team  |

Finnerty's problem is that the Breahead Arena is smaller and the fans vs Saturday night drunks ratio is a lot higher and a lot less tolerant of mediocrity.

I'd assume Finnerty set himself an ultimatum. Playoffs or leave.

So well balanced in all areas with toughness, scoring, playmaking, mixture of youth and experience. There is no wonder than won it at a canter. |

Cardiff's ideally but 1 - i dont thin kwe have the spending power they now have and 2- i mentioned sheffield as they had to put a team last year ready for the CHL in august, Cardiff had all summer. But would happily take Cardiff's team if it was offered!  |

Cardiff this year is so far out of every teams budget capabilities that no one could compete with them. They spent so much more on their team they should win at a trot. You will see a reality check next year.
