Flyers PR dept .....brewery and good night out I'm guessing the PR would have had a 12 noon embargo on it- looks like the EN have jumped the gun. |

So the link he had with Steven Lynch apparently wasn't working, bit odd as he spoke abut it in a recent video.
On the plus side having another coach on the bench and someone who is really looking to develop our juniors is a great step and one that has been long overdue.

Looks like he's here for the long term as well, can't be a bad thing to be fair, the less responsibility on Todd the better.

A coach who has actually won something in this league must be a help, if he can get through to Todd that is. As for player development, can this be Fife Flyers we are talking about? |

Won't be a bad thing if he is here for long term, experienced coach who has won silverwear & has good contacts.
Will also be in charge of player development which is a great step for the Flyers as Todd was doing nowt towards this, something like this should have been done years ago!
Am I the only one thinking this should have been the 1st signing announced? you would think if Todd had appointed him at the start of the offseason he could have gotten a few contacts from him? This may be the case but just seems silly to have this announced last. If he was signed only a few days ago I think they have missed the boat with this
Decent appointment in my eyes tho, just need to keep him out the boozer and keep the hankies away ;-)

Great signing but money could be used on a decent brit Nope totally disagree, this is money well spent IF he is allowed to properly develop junior players coming up from KIHC. It's investment like this that the club badly needed years ago. Develop your own local players is the best option every single time. |

Develop all you want, can develop 10 young guys into elite level players, but they'll all walk to another team when tam offers them a hundred quid a week |

Todd upstairs next season and Hutchy taking over as head coach?
As already mentioned, he has good contacts and put a good team together when at Dundee.

Kind of defeats the purpose of having a development team that lets young players loose when they are deemed good enough, heres hoping the loss of Plews, Marr etc have opened their eyes a bit this year

The guys we have now were all in their twenties with full time jobs when Fife stepped into the league, the difference now is these young teenagers will be seeing a path to the elite league as a pro and that's probably what they'll be aiming at long term, be interesting to see what happens when they're ready anyway. |
