Strong Rumour floating around that Kevin Henderson is in advance talks to become the new player coach next season.
Dont shoot the messenger but take from it what you want.

Any coach deserves a chanch to prove themselves, player coach or otherwise. I think the success of people like Lord and Keefe are probably a consideration. The reality is the majority of us have no idea how good he is at that side of it regardless of what people think of him as a player.
The key to if I am personally happy with this or not initially will be if the rest of the coaching set up remain in place. I agree with most that a lot behind the scenes appears to need to chance.

A different angle,a similar approach has worked for Cardiff and seems to be working fairly well for the Giants too. Panthers need a fresh approach all round because the clubs old wood is now dead wood !

Henderson has some serious contacts. Would be a decent move this.

Considering he was the one to get Chris Stewart over here that already speaks volumes for the contacts he had and the players he could potentially bring over. Always interesting to see what a new coach does in the off season. How the recruit, the team balance they have in mind etc. Give him a go. He knows the club, knows the league and knows the city

So long as we play better stuff, I don't care who the coach is.
Player coach seems a sensible way to go for me, had a year in the league so knows what's what.

No problem with Henderson as player coach but get rid of the pillock Strachan today and let him get started now. What would be the point of waiting until next season at this point.

I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that this could be happening. I’d be happy with this appointment.

Seems like Chris Stewart is supposed to be on a 2 year contract, so he would make a good player/assistant coach, being friends with Henderson and all that. No need for Rick or Dan then!

Not entirely sure why people think Henderson used 'strong/good contacts' to get us Stewart, they're good or best friends.
Anyway, would be interesting if it were to happen. Not opposed to it but not exactly going to support it majorly. We need change badly and making a guy who knows what the pressure is like in Nottingham and how relentless fans are, he should know he'd be taking on a big and tough job so if he'd go for it then why not.

Where do you get the two year contract idea from? Although never 100% accurate, Elite Prospects has Chris Stewart, Gui Lepine and Brett Perlini signed to contracts with Panthers for 19/20 season.

Difference with Belfast & Cardiff is they have experienced GMs to back them up. Thornton & Kelman.

After all....who would be on the bench whilst the others are on the ice ! 😩🤨
