It's a complete cop out to talk this nonsense about it being a local club for local lads, it's a local club for Todds pals, end of story. Craig Mitchell, rejected by flyers, Lee Mitchell rejected by flyers, Euan Forsyth treated like dirt, Tyler Plews left, Renny Marr left..... If it was a local club for locals lads there would have been a plan in place 5 years ago to grab the best 14,15,16 year olds and develop them into elite level players, but no lets just keep the same lot most of whom aren't good enough, because Todd likes them and they're "coachable".

Who are willing to except pennies.

Wands back, not good enough Directors won't allow money for British signings ...it's a ”local” team, not much Todd can do there's a limited selection, ie none Like any coach in any other sport Todd has been given a budget that has been spent on 14 imports, if he only brought in 12 and signed 3 or 4 decent Brits fans would be be moaning that we should have gone with 14, the man can't win , do the directors keep throwing money his way to sign a couple decent Brits and end up with no hockey in a few years time when the pot has ran dry . Not that directors won't allow it, maybe just can't afford them, as Todd says he is already straddling that line and had to push for 14 imports. I say keep what we have.

The only confirmed news after 10 pages of this thread is that nobody has a Scooby who our final signing is

This is the trouble the owners are adamant that the Brits will all be local players (against Todd's wishes I suspect), so are we wanting to build a club for the town and the fans which will be competitive or are we going to build a club that is in effect just there to give local boys a game of hockey with no hope or chance of ever winning anything. The team should be there for winning not so some pals can get a game of hockey.
