Latest from Corey yesterday next signing could be days or longer off, but he is on the phone hourly. Wonder if they still think everyone is going to be here by the deadline.

You never know. Soon we might even be announcing signings by radio ya know ! It's the future !! 😂🙄 Audio content is very much the future - well good audio content. Time is one of the things people value very highly and in audio they are able to listen along whilst doing something else at the same time, meaning they can get more done with their time which is something video doesn't allow you to do as you have to devote your attention to what you're watching - this is why podcasting is the phenomenon that it is and is only going to get bigger. Video still has it's place as an attention grabbing platform and should be used as such (highlights, signing announcements etc.) but real value can be brought to the fanbase through good audio content. Never underestimate how much people value their time. Live ice hockey through audio only would be fine if you were doing a ten stretch at Parkhurst or something but confusing live sport with a podcast and all of the visual importance of live ice hockey? It's possibly the most daft idea ever and if audio only was anywhere near the same the Panthers org would dream of doing that either.

It's possibly the most daft idea ever and if audio only was anywhere near the same the Panthers org would dream of doing that either. Ice hockey is a very poor television sport in general but when you bring it to EIHL production levels it's even worse (even though some places give it a good go). We will get to a point in the future where fans (already established fans not newbies) would rather listen to a game on a radio because it will allow them to accomplish other things with their time aswell - if they've decided they're not going to attend the game what makes people think they're guaranteed to watch it live on a screen? There's more chance of having them listen to it as background noise. Now there will always be an audience for watching sport live on TV (or webcast), but live audio will trend upwards and the sooner an EIHL team jumps in the more beneficial it'll be for them in the long run.

Has our continued agreement with Lean Nutrition not sated your desire for news this week?

Realistically 7 signings needed in 7 days to ensure we have a full squad in time for pre-season camp. We've been told for some time now that there are a number of offers on the table - yet no takers!! what does this say about how attractive our set-up is! our package / wages are not too bad, so it must be some other element of our set-up that players don't like - mmmm now what could that be?

Gotta say im getting pretty nervous. We have at least 5 key players to sign who all need to be high quality. And unless we get a glut of signing this or next week we are going to be well short for preseason.

Wouldn't be panthers if we started a season with a full roster. According to Corey though he is on the phone hourly to agents..... Technically true but it's usually trying to convince people he knows what he is doing and the Moran is not a soulless heartless douchemuffin. No easy task. What we have signed so far bar garnett is not first line material we have no enforcer no out and out goal scorers or play makers and a threadbare defence. What we do seem to have is youth and grit! Come on Corey steelers are almost done and they aren't even in the chl!

Hopefully this is the last summer of having this BS from Corey anyway. Potentially this is the worst I've known from Panthers pre season and that takes some doing!

On the jobs section on elite prospects panthers are still advertising for 5 players (2D , Centre, left wing & right wing. All seemingly uni deals if the adverts are correct.... If that's up to date then if we are indeed holding back on announcing signings (which I highly doubt) then it is literally 1 or perhaps two players. Problem is Corey has actually got to earn his money recruiting players this year as he can't just rely on players friends who may want to play here. The Garnett interview EMB placed on here is also telling. It was Garnett's agent who got in touch with Panthers not the other way around. Had Garnett's agent not done so he would no doubt have signed elsewhere in the league. Makes you wonder who Corey was actually talking to. The players who were milling over the offers have more than likely said no. Hence the deafening silence from the club

I think I read somewhere (poss Nottm Post) that Neilson didn't think Garnett was realistic until he got in touch about the uni courses? Unless there is a flurry of signings soon I think it's a little concerning we're still a way off completion. That August 7th deadline isn't too far away!

And I bet that would have been Coreys thoughts even if he had seen Garnett was available first........that he wouldn't come here. Because that is EXACTLY what he did with Jason Williams last season . When it was mentioned to him Williams was available,he said "no chance,don't even bother" And it wasn't even Corey who contacted Williams. And that makes you wonder how many other quality players we lose because of Neilsons attitude. He is crap at recruiting !

Ive always had the feeling that Corey gets a list put together of players agents who have contacted the club and expressed a desire to play for panthers and then picks from that list.
Not saying Corey shouldnt sign some players from this supposed list, but i cant help but think he isnt actively out there on the phone trying to persuade higher quality targets to come to Nottingham. Sometimes he will no doubt get a few gems appear on that list who will sign and we will be happy with, but i get the feeling we dont send the feelers out there to those players who have in fact never even thought about coming to EIHL to see if we can offer them a package to come.
probably wrong but these are my gut feelings about our recruitment

Jeez. I would be too embarrassed for my company to sponsor a pair of shorts ! 🙄 Where do they get these gullible people from ?
If only Panthers put as much effort into finding quality players !!!!

If i was a pro player I wouldn't sign for the Panthers either knowing what a circus it is!
