Interview with Brooksy just released, interesting that he says Clan's budget has been cut for this season.r [ That's interesting because according to Gareth Chalmers at a Clan Q&A both the on and off ice budgets have increased. It could all be relative to their CHL participation and that the budget has been decreased from a squad to participate in that competition but their budget to compete in the Elite league has increased.

i spoke to a clan staff member recently and what they said is our budgets for players are almost the same, the difference is in how it is spent. clans policy is each player gets a car and flat of their own (unless they choose to share). our policy is to spend more on wages and less on flats and cars. most of our imports share a flat and car between two or three

I'd heard it was less overall and less per import as there is one more despite what their PR pump out. Plus the peacock signing will cost them a few quid. Interesting times, however the purple ones spin it all

Clan's budget has not decreased for the season ahead however the money offered to Brendan Brooks to stay most certainly did.
Brooks in his 2 years before coming to Clan was a 1.3 ppg man in Norway followed by a 1 ppg man in the DEL. Both leagues light years ahead of the EIHL so for him to come to Clan and be minus 1 ppg beggars belief.
Don't get me wrong. Brooks is an exciting player and as fast as anything I've seen however the end product was lacking far too often last season.

How do you know it hasn't been reduced, Their podcast guys have mentioned it several times, after signing peacock they couldn't offer Ben Davies the same deal. Brooksy has said in his interview that the budget had been cut. Ever think that the line he was on and the role he played on the team might have had an impact on his points total. The guy is a proven quality player who was one of there best players last season. When he went down before our play off games against them I was over the moon as it seriously hurt their chances of beating us. I would go as far as to say if he had been playing we probably wouldn't have made the finals weekend.

One of our guys thinks it has but he has no basis in fact. Brooksy was certainly offered less than he made last year. Others got the same deal as last year. Davies gambled and asked for a substantial pay rise. It backfired. They went out and got Peacock. I would have loved both but it wasn't to be. Ulmer looks like Brooksys replacement and he won't be cheap. It remains to be seen if that's the right move. My guess is they put a value on Brendan which didn't match his, so sadly, he is off. You got a great payer and a great guy too.

It was certainly brought up on your podcast though, was it not Clantastic (you know the guy who cant stop tweeting about the flyers yet maintains they shouldn't be your rivals ). Appreciate you saying you don't know if it has or not but when Brooksy comes out and says it has it is hard to argue with. Ulmer looks a hell of a signing for you guys which I hate to admit. Davies is a strange one, yeah he had a good year and is a very good British player but to price himself out of the market hasn't been the smartest move on his part. Wonder how clan fan's will take to seeing him and Brooksy in flyers colours this coming season!!!

Yeah, we did discuss it as we were aware that Brooksy was being offered less than last year. It was speculation.
I would suggest only 4/5 people know the definitive answer to the budget question. Brendan is not among that number.
My info is that Davies won't be at Fife next year.
Take care of Brooksy for us

I think that today's signing should be proof enough that the Clan's budget has not been cut - Jay Rosehill -WOW!!!!

I think t hat today's signing should be proof enough that the Clan's budget has not been cut - Jay Rosehill -WOW!!!! A lot of money for a guy that will spend most of his time in the penalty box or suspended Bash on Rosehill can play as well as enforce. He won a speed skate competition at the Big Flyers training camp in Philiadelphia which was obviously laced with NHL players. I do hope that you get a toughie like Brooks best mate Trevor Gillies. The Rosehill /Gillies factor would pretty much guarantee full houses for Braehead /Fife games . Roll on the new season!

We are hoping to speak to Brooksy over the next few days. Happy to put any sensible questions to him should anyone wish us to ask them.

See how your signing goes but you appear to be signing a fair few goons again, bans and sin bin troubles may be this years finner excuse

I can understand why Finner has brought these guys in all you need to do is look back on the January 16 game at the NIC where Clan picked up injuries to their Star players which effectively cost them the league and nearly the conference. These players will give the likes of Cam Janssen and Co something else to think about. Looks like DOPS will be busy this season
