The flyers will drop a league before they get rid of Todd

Inexpensive option, does as TM tells him, has two maybe two and a half lines to work with, and accepts the the shamateur organisation that is Fife Flyers. Name a coach with any pedigree who will put up with that? Would not surprise me at all if he has offered his resignation but been persuaded to change his mind by TM. Let's be honest, it cannot be pleasant for him turning up week in week out and having to listen to the abuse. It is all very well saying he has to go but then what? Appointing one or two of the players is not a realistic option. For a pedigree coach to arrive TM would probably have to guarantee a full squad of at least 16 full timers including of course Brits. Is that realistic?

It is what is needed as part of the process of moving forward. Alas as he is the cheap option - and is prepared as suggested to go with poorer Brits - then the owners will want to keep him. It would be interesting to see how many fans have missed recent games. I chose to miss 3 and noticed in Saturday that numbers were a few hundred below last month. We can accept getting beat but playing dire hockey with a doom and gloom coach then I ask you what is going to entice people through the door! No fights, no exciting hockey, no inspiring leadership, the usual guys getting benched. Time for change was April.

The funny thing is, the revenue lost from the 400odd drop in attendance is probably more than the cost to have a decent coach and a couple of decent full time Brits in the squad.

What got me, was watching the game on Premier Sports last week, Adey was calling it with Murphy, and by end of Period 1, he had us sussed. Was basically predicting our next moves, and pointing out where we were making fairly basic mistakes. If he see's it, you can be sure the rest of league see's it. Personally, I'd like to give Danny a shot, but not sure he'd want too if he was bound by the same terms.
However, that said, pretty confident we'll be having the same discussion next year, with Todd still as coach.
He's been a good servant, but really, the time has come

Average ticket price £13-£5200 in lost revenue.A Decent coach!! we could bring in something way above decent for the money that could/Would be available. |

On that calculation, that probably funds 4,5 or even 6 imports, if not even more. No idea how much the playing budget is, but that is a significant number. Challenging, we'd be looking 2500+ every game, if not higher |

Look at the crowds during the run in season before last. For the Dundee play off game there must have been close to 4000. It was well beyond being safe. We finished 8th that season. The potential to get 2500-3000 every week is definitely there, and without even needing to mount a title challenge. A couple of characters a bit of toughness and a decent brand of hockey and the crowds would roll in. I'm totally amazed that Muir and Wishart can't see it. Shows to me that they don't have a clue. |
