Looks like there will be no coaching change.... from what Ali asked in his latest interview, talking about signing up players for the next campaign. Get ready to be brutal again, And even if we win the conference which i highly doubt we will we should get rid, Todds has had as good a chance as any time for a change IMO.

I am not a Hockey expert never played the game at any level So who of all the doom merchants has a better resume I wish we were doing better IMO The big issues we have are 1. Our Brits are not good enough but as import levels grow not an issue as a club but is for a GB side trying to compete at Olympic level. So where are the next generation of kings, hornes, lattoes, robertsons, Millie's etc and why not clear relationship from top to bottom re hockey I Kirkcaldy 2. Our off ice activities are not good enough , PR, sponsorship , social media, highlights are not competitive with best in league so we do not generate enough revenue to compete with others. We are best supported sports team in fife but rovers and Dunfermline have better sponsorship. Diageo has its largest bottling plant in the world in leven but we can't get their bane on our shirt but Belfast can - we really need to raise the game in off ice activities 3. The balance of team is not quite right but have to say when we play our system well we can compete in any rink with anybody - so need to hold coaches to account publicly for the recruitment policy 4. We have a real great core support but the posting on forum , the actions in the rink from many so called "xperts " is uber negative so lets get behind the team and get to playoff final too many people comment on problems but offer no solutions other than sack the manager and the Dj . Personally I would like to see the following Appoint dingle and an other as management team responsible for ice hockey top to bottom and let them recruit all on and off ice appointments We need to get professional from top to bottom and appoint a fergie type to change the organisation from head to toe

You then say give Todd the boot and give the job to Ryan Dingle a guy with no coaching experience or a resume like Todd's if you want to put it that way. You have basically repeated what many have said on here for a good few years (more professional from top to bottom). If you had bothered to actually read some of the detail posted in this forum from the "xperts" you would have seen many offering potential solutions to the way this club is run. A few have offered their services to the club as their skill set in their job would benefit the club only to be ignored. That might not make them "xpert" hockey coaches but it doesn't mean they aren't "xperts" in their own particular field! Your post didn't need the lazy cheap shots. It would have been far better without them.

folk are quick to criticise the club, and im sure we could be better but we are running a full quota of imports and spare average door over 2000 each week and we are not in financial difficulty selling players to pay wages etc. i do believe todd needs moved on , we need a proven coach full time who has the guts to bin under performers, todd is too loyal to players

Todd has been a great servant to the club, and can maybe be used in some capacity. However a new coach with fresh ideas and a revamp of playing style and personnel could be for the best.

I voted for him to stay as I thought this was a poll of what will happend next year rather than what I want to happen
So much more than a change of coach is needed, although I agree he should have been binned years ago
Decent team this year when they all show up but still not good enough, still need better Brits
Few of us starting to sound like broken records but they are all things that need to happen for this club to progress and finish higher up the league table and challenge for the conference (which we will never win this year)

You dare to criticize us for having an opinion because of that. Then you rattle on about various things which you are not qualified to do. Aye, very good

We would all like to see an improvement in many areas, however it looks like its Todd's job for as long as he wants it. It doesn't take a genius to see that the owners are obviously satisfied with the teams position, as after all this time in the elite league, we are still one of the bottom dwellers.

No decent coach would last long here, it's Tommy's way or no way, Todd is the only one who would put up with this, he is a stereotypical yes man to Tommy Muir

I heard todd was going to be leaving his job in the fire brigade. Dont know if that means he is going home,cracking on full time at flyers or moving upstairs to a directors role perhaps

Todd will not give up the head coach job, he's too selfish. He should have given it up last summer, it's obvious fans want him out.

My frustration is on so many posts in thus forum we do nothing but slag the team and the coach But if u read my post then u would understand that i do not think everything is perfect in fife flyers land on the ice but I do think given the off ice position we are doing ok Yes I proposed a dingle led organisation cause in my mind we need somebody who will grab this organisation from top to bottom and drag it forward , like fergie did at old Trafford - we need somebody with no links to current regime and who would look at the organisation top to bottom on and off ice
My biggest frustrations is not on ice but off ice 1. Our PR is second rate, and I am only saying what others have said before and I know many gave offered help but has gone no where But in my view our dj is not good enough Our highlights never show repeats from other angles, The analysis recently re nico's goal ve Belfast is something we could do in every highlights reel 2. Our off ice sponsorship is too low - as I have said many times the biggest operational unit deageo has is in leven but not on our jersey yet it is on Giants - silberline is the biggest manufacture of pigments in uk is next door to deageo, scoonie works there but no evidence of sponsorship , there are more sponsors on the rovers stands than in the so why are we so off pace in sponsorship 3. We have no tie with any university but fir son any payers that is a key thing why not tie up with Stirling the home of Scottish sport who also offer mgt degrees 4. Can we not do a deal with St. Andrews re golf it is a massive attraction for players and the global pr of a link up would be great for recruitment 5. Braehead are providing an app are we close to that ?
Until we demonstrate with our off ice activities that we are able to compete then we are always second best
to compete at highest level we need more money than comes through the door so we need to improve professionalism of Publicity , before, during and post game , we need to significantly improve levels of sponsorship , need deals with universities -
So we can all slag off the on ice performances and often with good cause but my view is until we get more professional off ice we will never compete with the big teams
