All the talk of Corey, but has nobody else noticed the dramatic change in body language by GM? There's been rumours of a falling out all season (only rumours mind) and he's been removed from the DVD highlights entirely. He's sitting with just him and his wife in one of the boxes most nights by all accounts and then this after the game too? This screenshot is taken seconds after the final buzzer today... Gone are the days of him running onto the ice, lifting the trophy aloft. He's there with his hands in his pockets looking positively glum. Come or go, there's something odd about that.

Somebody had probably just made a disparaging comment about his appalling tie.
He was mugging it up on the ice in his usual manner before I left.

I dunno but I wish he would bugger off sharpish.
Perhaps he's just been told that the "mini me" standing next to him is taking over next year !

You have to ask yourself how tickets now sell themselves. They certainly didn't 5/10 years ago so somebody has done something right.

He's the panto villain not the problem. He's a fan and wants the best for panthers. His job is to raise the profile of the club and sell tickets which if your look at the before and after - he has undoubtedly done. Like Simms he's an ego maniac but the issue is black not investing at key times eg when we had key players out which stopped us winning the league at the same time as clan were signing players. Should be a rule against multi ownership like in football.

Given the choice between BS the BS or GM the MIC there is no contest - at least when Gary is on the MIC he tries to rally the fans - BS on the other hand just opens his mouth, spouts a load of rubbish, then tries to engage brain - both love the game and their respective teams -one is a pain-in-the butt, the other is a pain-everywhere - For all his troubles GM is doing what he is paid to do - just wish it had been him that got the bucket of water yesterday instead of Cory - that would have made my day even sweeter

We can only hope eh... It was so refreshing to hear Tod Kelman on Premier Sports in several interviews talk professionally about himself, his clubs and how important the fans are to the existence of the club rather than constantly trying to squeeze every last penny out of them to the point they turn their backs. Also interesting to listen to Manchesters GM who similarly speaks well. Never in 10 years of watching and listening to GM has he said anything that has made proud of how our organisation is run. Everything is sell, sell sell. With a forward thinking GM using Social Media, Advertising, Match Nights to their optimum and I think you'd be selling out most Saturday night games.
Still nothing will change...

The man is a micromanaging dinosaur who is holding the club back. Who's to say we wouldn't be more successful if someone else had held the managerial reins these last few years? There's certainly a growing band of people who dislike Moran, many who have dealt with him directly and come to the realisation that he is not particularly likeable. His ego too is an embarrassment, he couldn't wait to start blowing his own trumpet yesterday, ( if we had lost he would have been conspicuous by his absence.), and his attempt to lift the Challenge Cup when presenting it to David Clarke was unwarranted and unwanted. He won't be going anywhere though because he is successful at making Neil Black money.

With all the social media etc available these days it's easier than ever to sell tickets,especially to our fan base. What has GM actually done to promote the club that pretty much anybody with a reasonable business acumen couldn't have done. I tell you what,put a likeable chap like Kelman in Pantherland and the NIC would be close to or selling out every game.

His job is to sell tickets? Last i checked a GM should be signing players and scouting and needs to understand the full dynamic of a well functioning team.
A GM is not there for PR or to sell tickets.

Gary is the heart and soul of this club and without him we would have gone the same way as hull and Newcastle, and you know it! Never has the club lost a sponsor because of Gary. Never has anyone lost faith in the club because of Gary. Gary is the sole reason we have all the sponsors we do. Gary has never been the reason a player has left the club or the reason for a player not coming to the club in the first place.

And let's not forget that it's down to Gary's amazing marketing skills that we have posters on the sides of bins and banners on the side of a flower stall! You tell me another person that could pull of a top end marketing job like that!

I sit next to a sponsor and he told me he sponsors the club in spite of GM, not because of him. He told me he finds him rude and abrasive. Never met the man or interacted with him, but this is what I'm told.

The family firm of a friend of mine were a major sponsor of the Panthers and she cites "having to deal with Gary Moran" as the main reason they no longer are. He is very obviously a Marmite-like character as there are a few sponsors who have stayed the course.

CN would be a good GM or RS So then call himself what he is and hire a fricking GM. It's not rocket science. Then fire GM. I have heard bad things from sponsors too and have dealt with his rudeness first hand.
