I praise them when they deserve praise. Unfortunately,what has there been to be happy about the last few seasons other than last years CHL games. Constantly finishing 4th or 5th in the league and treading water with a coach who was well past his sell by date was no reason to be over the moon. Other people walk round with black and gold tinted spectacles on and will hear no wrong about Panthers but I don’t single out those people out for criticism. If everybody just sat back like them and accepted all in the Panthers garden was rosy,we would all be looking forward to the old era continuing with another couple of years of mediocrity under Neilson and the old regime ! Winning the playoffs, winning the challenge cup, winning the continental cup. I was happy when we were winning them. Have a count up what we’ve won lately........It’s something like 2 or 3 from the last 15 possible EIHL trophies. Nowhere near in the league,struggle to even make play off weekend in recent years and even the cup has been a let down lately. For a supposed big fish in a small pond with little competition,that’s shocking ! But at least Panthers seem to have taken notice when the heat got turned up a bit too fierce and it looks like the attitude has changed for the good at last. Do you really think that change would have happened if every fan had been happy all congratulating Panthers on here,Twitter and other social media etc. Because i don’t.... Nothing would have changed if the fans appeared happy,Neilson would still be here etc,because Black and GM will only ever do what they absolutely have to,when they absolutely have to and no more.

So what are your expectations from the new coach?

So what are your expectations from the new coach? I think the new coach is exactly what Panthers needed. Provided he runs a tight ship,stands none of the previous nonsense,is allowed to do his job on a healthy budget and without any interference from above. I expect us to finish in the top two in the league,at least in with a good shout until the end and win at least one trophy in the first year. And if things go pear shaped mid season I expect to see a positive and quick reaction too,unlike under Neilson.
