For years people on here have claimed that the panthers have been bankrolling the clan, now many are claiming that they were just a small budget club?
GM could learn a trick or three on spin by reading this forum.

The two aren't mutually exclusive you know.
Anyway talking of the clan, what about a swap of Clarke has Clan coach with Tripp coming in for the Panthers?

All a mute point Finnerty will not be leaving Manchester given his ties to the ownership group. Not sure he and Black would be on speaking terms anyway after Braehead

Here is a left field thought if you are looking for someone from within the league who knows it well
Todd Dutiaume from Fife
He has worked miracles with the small budget that Flyers have, plays a brand of hockey that has people wanting to watch his teams, has contacts in North America through his brother and Mark Morrison, assistant coach at Anaheim and he probably deserves a shot at a big budget team to see what he can do

Finnerty won’t be coming here I wouldn’t think. His best pal is one of the owners group.

Well thats a relief and to re-iterate i would bet the house on it being a done deal with Clark..
CN should be gone by now given the VERY poor run of results and a lack of direction and player recruitment shown especially this year but over the past 5 seasons but as always inertia and spin at panthers is by far the easier option than to work your butt off with that laser focus to have a real attempt at winning the league (and it seems even the cups this season).

Wouldn't even have him back as a player never mind a coach! An embarrassment of a season. Nobody cares as the 💰 keeps rolling in...

As soon as I saw the news I thought he must be heading here, could be wrong. Will have to wait and see.

This is probably just coincidence and nothing in it . Nothing will get decided/announced til after the playoffs anyway

As whoever they employ will have links to this league is imagine so any appointment will be lazy. No top coach would want to come here and not because they've heard nasty things about Gary Moran either. The eihl just isn't on many decent coaches radar and never will !

Out of work, already an Elite League coach, doesn't require much in the way of research for GM, Blacky and PML... Not saying he'd be terrible or anything, although as I've said before I've not thought much of MKL this term, but it world seem to be an easy appointment.

So if Lord came to us, that would be a lazy appointment too? No Because we would have gone and got Lord and he’s got credentials. He’s also North American,obviously got contacts,shows passion and gets results. What would attract you to Russell,because I can’t see a single thing ?

He’s the GB coach, could help us replace Clarke, maybe shake the brits up and take us in a different direction as a club. I genuinely think you’d moan if Babcock come over

I genuinely think you’d moan if Babcock come over Other than Lord,who impresses me, i wouldn’t want anybody from the EIHL. It’s all too nicey nicey,cushy and jobs for the boys. I’d rather have a North American who will bring something new,somebody who will rattle some cages and get rid of the existing Panthers culture.

Decent coaches are too sort after. When was the last time a bench coach and decent one came over without any eihl connections?

I wouldn't want Russell to coach my rec team.
'GB Coach' credentials are hardly something to shout about.
