Could be an interim coach. Sounds like he's leaving for his own reasons and that there is no coincidence between his leaving and the vacant Panthers role. However I think it could be useful to have some more experience behind the bench in the short term.

If Panthers appoint Whistle it would be a very,very,very lazy appointment.
Got to do better than scraping the bottom of the barrel..

My money would be on Matheson as permanent before too long.

If whistle is being regarded as a lazy signing surely matherson would be even worse than that ? He hasn't exactly got much experience as head coach. I'm sure for budget reasons it would make sense . Can't exactly command much in terms of wages with his coaching CV

The link appears to suggest that he was being replaced as coach, and allowed to concentrate on the Hockey development role. If he's not good enough for them I can't see him being good enough for us. I'd have sooner had Ryan Aldridge !

Can't exactly command much in terms of wages with his coaching CV Panthers love the path of least resistance (and cost). If he can win a few games - as he's already started doing - then they can say how much he's impressed everyone, earned the chance blah blah. Saves them doing anything til the summer at least. |

I wouldn't want Whistle or matheson short or long term! Both options are cheap so it's bound to be one of them!

At least Matheson knows the players, systems, strengths and weaknesses, and the Management ! And he might have the makings of a good coach.

At least Matheson has been around the game lately, where as Whistle was out of it for five or six years until very strangely he popped up with the lowly Leeds team. Got to be a reason for that,probably the same one why he never lasted long in Sheffield or Cardiff. |

I’d stick with Matheson for the time being, state he is coach for the remainder of the season and that might help to attract some players at this moment in time.

Not saying I'd rather have whistle than matherson praying to God that's not our choice. But if we go to matherson it's a cheap cop out again . Not really got much experience at head coach role . He was a temporary at Sheffield and I hope he is temporary here as coach . granted he knows the players . So did Wallace and what good did that do him ? Matherson would be a cheap hire and underline a lack of ambition and another sign we want to do things on the cheap and maybe just about compete.

I'm not sure you will not get a quality coach to join a team in the EIHL mid season. Most coaches want to be able to sign a team that they have picked, and mold to their coaching style. We are limited to a certain number of changes, and really have no chance of winning the league. Surely, it makes more sense to get a temporary coach to see out this season and re-assess after this season is over. |

Agreed keeping matherson to the end of the season if we can't get anyone in but don't look at him as a permanent option . |
