Hard to find a happy medium though as I want to go watch the Flyers but dont want that bampot to get all my coin
We shouldn't have to suffer and boycott the team we love & support due to a deluded director
It will be interesting to see how much less season tickets are sold this year, I for one won't be wasting my money on one again untill serious changes are made throughout the organisation (could be a while then!)
You not getting carried away calling Tam Muir 'deluded' on the basis of a second or third hand story which may or may not be true?! I've heard from people who stand near him at games that he seemed as agitated as any other fan about some of our early poor performances. One thing I'm pretty sure he's not is 'deluded'. At the end of the day he seems to provide a decent enough budget and allows the coaches to recruit as they see fit. He clearly was prepared to pony up to allow us an extra, top quality import when we were being hit by injuries as well to give us 14 full time pro's. Another thing- for all the talk about us NEEDING enforcers and power forwards to make a difference it seems to me that Nico Sachetti has made a massive difference to the team and he's neither. I dont think we got a good balance to start with but its not always as simple as folk make out IMO. I would like a power forward type or two but that's more my preference as I enjoy watching that kind of player, but as you say Nico has made a huge difference just like Ned made a couple of seasons ago when he came in at xmas. Maybe it's just we needed a shake up and as you said the balance wasn't right, I personally would still prefer a more aggressive style if the players could control themselves and we don't get those silly red mist moments but it's unfortunately(for me) a style that's unlikely to be at FIA anytime soon.

They know but just ignore it so far.

Here lies the problem, if these youngsters turn out to be good elite league level, they won't hang around at Fife for 100 quid a week, they'll go somewhere else where they get paid a half decent wage to be professionals

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. Its obvious there is a handful of fans who want him out. Perhaps a few dozen. The vast majority of fans couldnt care less who the coach is - they just want to come along on a Saturday night and see their team win hockey matches. fortunately, we have someone like Tom Muir who is willing to subsidise the sport in the town. The team, facilities, rink, etc have improved beyond recognition n the last few years and we will get there - definitely.

I am sure there is more than few dozen want Tod out. In last 5 year we have went through approx 45 imports and we don't seem to get any better. if Tod was a football manager he would have got is P45 4 years ago. Let's wake up and smell the coffee it's time for a CHANGE.

As a good few folk have voted to keep Todd (which I am a bit stunned at) one thing I haven't seen much off if any is reasons behind this thinking. I don't see how the club will progress any further with him as the coach. Those that want him back, how about putting your points/reasons why up?

These people must have valid reasons to keep Todd so let them be aired. A sensible discussion could possibly. be started. They may not just be resistant to change and against progress. Let's hear the reasons for no change please.

Why did I vote to keep Todd,simple can't think of enough reasons to get rid of him .why? Don't think we r going backwards ,r we as good as braehead and Dundee .yes beat serious title challengers for the 5th time on Sunday and not far off Belfast ..the enforcer argument.i know for a fact they thought they had one signed then at the last minute got a text to say he signed for another team..do I think he will have one or two next year .definitely ......we r lying 7th ,should we b higher,of course and would have been if we hadn't lost silly points (esp the 5-4 game against caps). Is Todd to blame ??partly but most must fall in the players...and just to add I don't want to finish 6th or higher now..I want braehead,why cos I don't think they're better than us even though they might win the league
