I'm expecting Clarke personally, though the tweet did say 'addition'. Probably looking into it more than necessary, but Clarke is furniture rather than an addition.

What you're forgetting NYR is "fan power" putting pressure on the coach and management. People may think it doesn't mean much,but it does. Do you really think the changes we are seeing so far this off season are purely Mr Blacks thinking,because I don't. Take Lawrence or Carter for example,the fans in general didn't like them last year and they're gone But if the pair of them had been real crowd favourites it's highly likely we would have resigned them,despite the way they played. So as a fan,if you sit back and accept mediocrity or a player not fulfilling his potential,that's what you're going to get stuck with again. But if you make your displeasure known and enough people do the same,then things will eventually change. That's the scenario I work on anyway People can think I'm a miserable git and always moaning yes,but at the end of the day all I'm ever trying to do is put pressure on in the hope of change. So far this off season things seem to be changing for the good....we shall see ! Whilst I agree that 'fan power' can (and should as every business needs happy customers) influence management I don't agree it should have any influence on coaching, a coach should be intelligent enough to adapt when needed or have the courage in their convictions to sink with their methods - arrogance maybe but their is something to be said for someone who's willing to fall on their own sword because they believe they are right. I don't think for a second that it's all purely down to NB's thinking, I think that Q & A will have helped in some manner. I mean it can't be a coincidence that he goes to that and people bring up the amount of injuries we have and suddenly we're going to sign a younger team, it's a very logical solution to the problem (may not be the actual answer to the injures problem but it makes sense and you can justify it). I for one think that if NB was more involved things probably would be a lot smoother (especially business wise) as he's not an idiot, he's successful for a reason - the problem is that the Nottingham Panthers is probably just money making side project for him whereby if we are somewhat competitive & in the hunt for some kind of silverware the majority of the constituents will be satisfied. Their's nothing wrong with that either, it's his business and that's how he chooses to run it - like you (and many others have said) the only way that'll change is if things go south business wise. There are plenty of examples of other owners in other sports who run their teams the same way. I would like to think that they wouldn't have been brought back regardless of being fan favourites or not (Nikiforuk could be seen as an example of this as he didn't perform as expected, was well liked and yet hasn't been brought back). I'm not one for complaining anyway, that's not my modus operandi, mainly because complaining without action doesn't mean anything and I'm not willing to put any action into any complaints I may make (I'm not going to stop going). Kind of the opposite to you as your actions don't overly match the words you say (the fact you, as you've stated elsewhere on here, have renewed your season ticket despite all the things you say/have said).

IT says new players in the title, come on guys

Fans pressure may have an impact but I wouldn't fans favourites would have stayed. Nikiforuk and miika left?

New signing is a new import. Just posted on twitter, and there will be another teaser at 5PM. Someone with an impressive CV? They don't normally hype up a signing like this

Twitter says brand new import so let the guessing begin. Probably a nettie.

Bakala would be a brilliant start, I can't help but get my hopes up!

So they didn't hype mcgratton then!!! Not really, he tweeted Panthers with a question mark which brought about a fan-driven flurry. He got announced shortly after.

Unless this is the 'backup import' doesn't sound like it'll be Bakala:
"Time for a positional hint!! In 1 hour we're announcing a new Netminder. He's his country's #1 too! #PanthersNation"

Yutaka Fukufuji perhaps? Japan's Number 1? Ex NHL. Or perhaps a dual national?

Good resume. But far too old again so no chance whatsoever of him being Panthers no1.

Sorry if i am being ignorant (given I haven't looked back far through the thread I probably am), bu why would Bakala want to come to the EIHL? His stats in Sweden are far too good for EIHL?!

Because Panthers followed him on Twitter and that's enough for a lot of Panthers fans to believe we've signed him I agree though, shouldn't even be considering dropping back down here just yet.
