Was walking around the arena tonight during the 2nd period break and heard a guy outside block 4 telling a few people he had heard that corey has a new job starting in the summer out of hockey... nothing concrete so dont shoot the messenger but just wondered if anybody else had heard anything?

Wouldn't surprise me if Corey isn't our coach next season tbh. And that's nothing to do with some of the pathetic performances this season.

The problem I understand was dealing with GM. I also understand he lives at Ravenshead, so if and when it would be an easy shoe in - but--- GM.

He doesn't need to be popular. He just needs to keep getting ur punters in and then let the coach get on with their job.

It's not a popularity contest and he is very good at the marketing side of things to be fair and does get the punters in. Does he stop there though? Does he stick to what he's good at and then let the coach get on with his job? If he does then fair play to him but I get the feeling he likes to meddle and interfere, thinking he knows best. As for CN, if he does move on then I hope we remember him as the coach that delivered the holy grail (and numerous other trophies) during his time here. A massive contributor to the history of the Panthers.

Adey certainly spends a lot of time around all things Panthers, considering he has such a hatred of GM.

Never know if and when he might be able to mend his ways. The description of Paul Adey as a coach I heard was "very professional".

I think we have had this rumour about Corey leaving every season since he has been coach.

Yep GM isnt Mr Popular - pity is he doesnt realise it. he is Mr Popular with Mr Black because he is good at his job no matter how irritating some like myself might find him, bums on seats is his focus and he gets that done, with some relish. As long as we fill the arena i don't think he cares if someone in the cage doesn't like him.

Perhaps Mr Black should look at it differently,that there are nearly 2000 seats per game not being sold though. If he got rid of Moran maybe that arena would be closer to a sell out,
Just look what a change of GM has done for crowds in Cardiff this season !

We need a better set up, General Manager doesn't cut it with me for Gary Moran, only thing he brings to the table is his way with getting sponsors and media attention. If we could sack him as GM and have him as our PR guy then maybe things would be better, hire a proper GM who looks to get the best out of the facilities, sets up strong links with lower league teams or even a North American team and isn't bitter or rude.

One of the problems now is that it might be too much of a "mandate" to just have with one person anyway if the club wants to develop further no matter if its a hockey team or any other business. It must be a very different job now to when the Panthers first moved to the NIC. Younger blood and new ideas are always a good thing and then have the place packed every game plus bring in other new revenue too.

I think the crowds we get are nothing special given the location of the arena, the heritage etc. GM"s marketing strategy seems to be completely based around "bring a friend" which isn't exactly cutting edge or dynamic.
I don't think Black should be happy until it's selling out every singe game.

The website is a complete joke,hardly ever anything interesting to read or listen to on it,it's just the same stuff day after day re-written for another day. When I look,it's like Groundhog Day being battered with the same news again and again.
Like being in the car with the radio on and the same flipping adverts come round again and again and again to brainwash you. I don't know about anybody else,but when the adverts come on my radio now I just turn the sound off for thirty seconds !
