Mrs Jackman started following Mike Murphy Goal tender and Fife Flyers official web site on twitter a month ago Looks like Brooksy and Jackman big buddies Could be 2+2= 5 but you never know 2+2 =5 Murphy is retired so not him in net Could it be Chris Holt coming out retirement, I wouldn't discount it...........

Maybe this years policy is to cut down on money getting spent on Agents fees A lot of fans complaining about where we are recruiting from I don't see this as a justifiable complaint Agents will probably ask for between 10 and 15% of a players season salary that's a lot of money when you multiply it by 14. Cut out the agents and recruit direct no finders fees, we are one of the smaller budget clubs so makes good business sense put you money on the Ice

If these last two outfield import signings aren't big, tough and don't bring a wow factor then my interest for the coming season will continue to be meh

Braehead 6. Fife 7. Coventry 8. Manchester 9. Edinburgh 10. Dundee top 4 are through crowds alone averaging 3500+ most games and Cardiff have rich owners. Could easily swap around 5,6,7 to any position you like. Just a guess though.

Sorry but anyone thinking our budget is comparable to Clans must be in dreamland. The standard they recruit throughout their roster exceeds even our 'marquee' level players not to mention their infinitely superior Brit players. And that's not just this season but last season too.

The budgets in the EIHL are probably a lot closer than you might imagine. The cost of using the arena for Sheffield, Nottingham, Belfast and Braehead is significant. I would say their import rosters are similar in cost and quality to us, Dundee and Edinburgh but the arena clubs seem to find room in their budgets for a good British core while the smaller clubs can't. It seems that Cardiff, Coventry and Manchester are being bankrolled to a certain extent by owners/sponsors but even so, I wouldn't say Coventry and Manchester are much bigger spenders than us.

The difference is the Clan spend what they make, Flyers spend to make! Simple

Maybe one way to equalise is to bring in a salary cap... Just like in USA sports... Teams can spend up to cap but at least must spend 90% of the cap (or something around that)...

Salary caps were introduced for a period back in the old ISL days and the usual suspects ie Steelers generally cheated their way round them. Wives/girlfriends suddenly were given jobs and received salaries from the Club which, as these were not classed as player wages, didn't count towards the team wage cap limit.

Based on our crowds I would like to think we have a similar budget to Coventry and a bigger one than Caps, Stars and Storm, however recruitment would suggest otherwise, IMO Coventry have assembled a roster that on paper looks far superior to what we have managed to put together. Of course there could be a few reasons for this, bad recruitment and lack of contacts being two of them.
