Thing is, not many are privy to what goes on between Tam Muir and Todd. Maybe Todd would like to make changes but Tam won't let him? It's easy to blame Todd as he's the "face of the Flyers" but we don't know for certain if he's being given all the resources he's asked for or not. He's repeatedly commented on playing short and not having injury cover, is this him publicly acknowledging he's not being fully supported from above? You have hit the nail squarely on the head

You have hit the nail squarely on the head I agree, but Tam isnt going anywhere. He owns the team. Like in any sport, the coach has the responsibility to get results with the resources made availble to them. If they dont suceed they get replaced by someone that can. Or if they are not happy with the support from the board, generally they will resign.

That could be spot on but equally did Tam make him sign the 14 imports for this season or was he given the freedom to sign who he wanted. Regardless of how it is Todd chooses to work within the parameters his owner gives him. Since he chooses to accept that and remain as the head coach then the buck has to stop at him.

Does anyone know why Wilson replaced Halas on Sunday night? Thought I saw Toby at Braehead on the Saturday night, was he there in a supervisory role?

It's more Todds recruitment that's the problem, he can't and has never showed he knows how to recruit a balanced import quota

A change that I would like to see is for Flyers to appoint a Todd Kelman type as a proper General Manager. This GM could take a lot of the workload away from the coaches and allow them to concentrate on coaching, without any distractions.
Amongst the responsibilities the GM would have in my wee world would be;
1. Responsibility and accountability for submitting DOPS reviews, thus cutting out the embarrassing nonsense following Sunday's game. 2. Expediting visa applications, so that we never have another Follmer farce 3. Oversee all aspects of Flyers PR including Social Media sites, video,website (surely one of the worst in the league) and press releases. Flyers have recently let themselves down in respect of the injury updates and the re-signing of James Isaacs. The fans are actually interested in their team and while we don't expect specific injury details, at least tell us how long a player is out, when they are skating and the antipated date of return. 4. Ensure liaison between Flyers and KIHC, hopefully restarting the feed of young players to the Flyers from the juniors. 5. Be the voice of the Flyers at EIHL meetings, making our voice heard amongst the big guns 6. Oversee the commercial side, which in fairness seems to be better than previously, but if it was even better the club would be in a better financial position 7. Oversee the "match night experience " which at present is amateurish to say the least. A massive shake up needed methinks 8. Be a point of contact for fans or other interested parties to input their ideas on how to make the club better and more successful. I am aware that several people have offered help but have been ignored. There might be some good ideas out there 9. Liaison between the club and ice rink manager to ensure that everything is in place for practice and match night, including the readiness of ice staff and equipment such as scoreboard and timekeepers' equipment.
I know this person might be a more expensive solution to our club owners might like to spend, but I believe that a more professional outlook and attitude would lead to more success and in turn, bigger crowds, spending more money. This is probably never going to happen, and no doubt I have forgotten some duties for my imaginary GM, but I can dream.

The clubs been running since 1938 I would rather have what we've got than nothing or a lesser standard, we loose a few games everything is rotten, the club has continued to improve year on year debate is good but some of the stuff on here is overboard at times Hopefully the guys will split the weekend with Steelers that would be a good target this weekend
