Spang and Brown definitely returning - just chatted to Spang in Nottingham McGrattan said he signed at 2 year deal when he came too. Spang would be good with a defensive d-man partner I think. A lot of talk about Carter eyeing a move back to France. Best thing for him.

Spang with a Jason Beckett type alongside him. Big Ern with Farmer and a decent centre.

Doesn't get on with GM (surprise surprise) apparently and has had several run ins with him regarding off ice activities. Carter's parents said he was on a 2yr deal now whether that was one year with an optional two I don't know but he is looking at going back to France where he had two very good seasons. Spanger needs a few less minutes and a decent partner, he could turn his fortunes abit like Schmit did.

Why can't GM just get on a mobility scooter and do one. I dread to think of the amount of players who have decided against re-signing with us, or decided against signing with us because of him.
All the best to Carter though, didn't work out here and he's essentially been ran out of town. Hope he can pick things up back in France.

Matt Carter, Deivids Sarkanis and Henry Pacl to leave. All have posted what could be interpreted as goodbye tweets today.

Doesn't get on with GM (surprise surprise) So Moran thinks he is of greater importance to this club than a multi season NHL'er and top level enforcer. Who also chips in with more than his fair share of goals. The man never ceases to amaze.

Did Neil Black not get grilled on GM at his Q&A, it would have been the first question I would have asked tbh.
Lots of rumours about GM and how some players just cannot work with him. Also read on the THF that Dan Green is to retire, lets hope that one is true and we can get a quality back up similar to that of Day or Murday. No bad feelings towards him but he is not cut out for this league and surely his confidence must have been destroyed with that performance last night.

Ask any of the seasoned Brits and a couple of the long term imports and they just roll their eyes and shake their heads. We will never get anyone who wants to run this club with no interference while GM is here. The best we can hope for is a new buyer.

Wouldnt surprise me if the off ice activities in question are connected to the drinking culture deeply embedded within the club which Moran & Neilson at least tolerate or turn a blind eye to. I said when McGrattan signed it wouldn't work with him and Lawrence on the same team..... And it hasn't... This has been a car crash of a season. And a car crash of a roster The signs for this was there way back in May last year long before McGrattan signed.....

Nothing to do with the drinking it's to do with Brian and what he does , you have to remember GM likes ultimate control, can't have anyone doing their own thing..

Only things I've known McGrattan to do is go to Manchester and Liverpool a few times, as well as spending time after recent games with the guys from Monster Truck.
If McGrattan is in the crap then god help Lawrence and MacMillan.

And rather a lot of alcohol......

And rather a lot of alcohol...... Your very interested in the drinking culture of certain players, I'm assuming you have seen all of this and the so called antics.. after hours drinking, lock-ins? Either your in there with them or your outside peering through the windows of a certain establishment every night of the week stalking them? I'm just surprised you have never filmed any of this and put it on social media to back up your claims.

The fact that every player-fan event has to be at a pub or a bar shows the GMs attitude to the drinking... how many pub quizzes have there been this year? At least 3!

MacMillan & Lawrence are the prime suspects. Both share photos when they're out sometimes and it was often after games, night before other games and saying they looked obliterated would be suitable.

Interesting choice of 'soft drink' Im not saying things like this don't happen but its getting tiresome all these accusations without any proof and I don't just mean the instagram photos lets see some photographic evidence of these so called 'coke' drinks, after hours drinking etc as your obviously there taking notes.
