Great interview. You can tell he is absolutely fuming and hurting. Love the fact that he acknowledges the travelling fans and how much they spend. Fife arguably have the biggest travelling support but not once has Todd acknowledged this or apologised for some performances that are beyond belief. Thomson reckons they are soft on the road. We are soft full stop.

Thommo is a man under pressure
They sacked last years coach G Adams for winning them the league
You cant see Sheffield winning the league this year but you never know to early
Todd is basically saying the same but delivering it differently
Cardiff is a big physical team that use that tent to their advantage not many go in there and come away with anything other than a bruising.
Bottom line is Flyers need to make changes now as what we have doesn't work consistently enough
Not going to repeat what has been said a million times on here
The problem is these replacements have to be a right fit and are not hanging on a peg its a mammoth task.
RIP Season 2015/2016

We are soft full stop. So are you now acknowledging its not just the ownership and the coaches and it dosent just happen in Fife? eg Coventry, Sheffield, Braehead all have their troubles an NHL standard Goalie was sat out watching his team getting beat last week A few new pieces in the puzzle will turn it around |

I never said every where else was perfect, but we are consistently sub-standard throughout the whole organisation, and nothing gets done about it. All of the teams you mention have had far greater success than we have. What is our record against any three of them in the past five years? What one thing to we do better than anyone else? Oh yes we might make the best stovies! |

Recruitment in this league can be a lottery. Despite getting good resume's and recommendations, players may not fit in with what coaches are trying to achieve. This happens to all teams. What is frustrating from a Fife perspective is the lack of apparent action when things clearly aren't working.

What is frustrating from a Fife perspective is the lack of apparent action when things clearly aren't working. Sure it can be a lottery, but if you have good local talent as a base it is less of a lottery. Belfast and Cardiff know their most important signing, the goalie (not criticising Brown who has been our best player by a long way after his nervy start) is not going to be a lottery, and most teams have a decent consistent Brit core they can rely on year in year out, or will recruit known Brits. We don't because we won't pay what is required. Of all the Elite teams KIHC is amongst the best if not the best in developing talent, yet other teams have much stronger Brits than we do. Why? If the gulf from SNL is too big then do something to bridge the gap. How about this as a radical idea, plan for five years instead of next week! Whether they like it or not Muir and Wishart are the de-facto stewards for ice hockey in this area, but to me they are only interested in running a business where the only thing that matters is the money. |

im not sure if money is the only driver. if it was then why is he putting up with this current drivel, three weeks ago we were getting crowds of 2300 last night was 1400 .
900 tickets at £16 is over £14k a week down.
why is muir and wishart so loyal to todd. .?

Nottingham fans I think. Great effort though. Unfortunately we are in no position to make up a song about Dundee Edinburgh or Braehead. This one by a a Leafs fan last season could very well apply to the Flyers
