If he had been announced as a permanent head coach then I would agree it could be considered an easy and uninspiring move, but it’s not, if anything I think this is the right decision. The thing is Matheson and Lee really need to be on the ice (that’s if Lee ever manages to get back out there), so we do need a voice on the bench to keep the players focused and to maintain order. Let Whistle fill this role until the end of the season and then re-evaluate. I suppose it’ll give Doucet somebody else to blame and be the fall guy to take the heat off himself when it all goes tits up by seasons end. 😉

If Doucet gets a chance next season I think it would be wise for him to hire a coach who has been part of a coaching and GM role, someone who has developed good contact lists and has experience in recruitment so they can work together.

Oh big time Doucet is still under pressure and so he should be. I cannot see anything in his CV or his credentials that leads me to believe he is DOH material and it shows in the results. As for him appointing the coach,there’s no way Doucet appoints him then says to NB this is your new guy I’ve just signed. NB will still have plenty of input into that choice.

Maybe if the club had backed the then coach in how he wanted the club run over a certain pub/sponsor like you would expect a professional sports to do things just may have had a greater chance of ending differently. A certain pub/sponsor on Lower Parliament St?

He's not starting til next week. I realised that after I wrote it but can’t believe he’s not said anything to anyone as yet about yesterday. Do I have it right, he’s come in as assistant to Matheson and ‘ help’ at training. But why wouldn’t you be at training?

Just read how the appointment of Whistle has allowed LEE to concentrate more on his rehab. Really?, not had enough time to aid his rehab otherwise? To start with he wasn't on the bench and I'm sure being on the bench etc recently has only helped him be a bigger part of the team. Stevie Lee doesn’t need rehab allegedly he’s finished all together, wont play again. No idea why they don’t come out and tell us.

Looks like Myers has a free run on catching LEE as regards All-Time appearances to jump behind the top three now then.

This was supposed to be a secret but it was bound to get out eventually. You have some good player contacts there EMB, as we both know very well... Let's not tell everyone about his coaching role with Panthers next season, that would be too much.

The personal aspect of the injury doesn’t need to be divulged to the fans but if he’s not going to play again this season, why keep it a secret? Honesty is the best policy.

Panthers haven't been honest with the fans since.. err...a long time

Looking like a bit of an inspired appointment at the moment. The polar opposite of Lee and I don’t think he stopped working all game
