and if thats the case why the club no telling fans instead of keeping everyhing secret his actions on game nite? ave no been since the start the season Because they're probably waiting for the season to finish like a lot of teams do when they announce changes? That's also my thoughts on it, not the club's so I could be talking ***** which wouldn't be unusual... Todd has been standing behind the bench on the floor and Jeff has been up top running the ship. Jeff has also been doing all the coach interviews since the end of January.

Todd does the interviews for the away games while Hutchy does the home ones. Not sure about the reasoning for that but I agree in that I see Todd stepping away in the summer.

He is pretty down by the fanbase abuse he gets on social media and lack of support from flyers media..so only does away games.

Lack of support by a Flyers media, he’s not been asked a difficult question yet during any interview I’ve seen! If he can’t handle that then he’s not the right person for the job

If he can’t handle that then he’s not the right person for the job Abuse and criticism are two completely different things. He seems to have changed after that comment was made on Facebook. The guy gets unwarranted abuse constantly, I'm surprised he's hung around as long as he had and hasn't told them to sling their hooks...

I disagree, he perhaps gets “unwanted” criticism but from what I’ve read he had one bit of unwanted dreadful abuse. Criticism goes with the job. Maybe Hutchy can clarify what the setup is on Twitter. The fans pay their money, they’re entitled to criticise if they see fit, they’re not entitled to abuse. Either way, he’s given as much as he can give to the club in the way of a coach as has Hutchy in my opinion

Maybe Hutchy could clarify what the setup is on Twitter That comment was the worst by far. Been plenty of other times on social media where it has been abusive but just not on that level, incredibly minor in comparison. Could you imagine having a bad day at work and instead of someone 'criticising' you, they resort straight to calling you a useless arsehole? Constructive criticism should always be welcomed in all walks of life as far as I'm concerned. Problem is, I think anyway, a lot of the time it's far from constructive, and I'll admit I've done the same. Agree with the criticism which seems to get avoided but could that potentially be because he has his hands tied behind his back by the people upstairs? Having people in the clique doing all the interviews and stuff really does beg the question... Definitely a time for change, hopefully Hutchy can pull a team together that's more exciting to watch considering his style of play when he played.

What a cheap shot artist with no balls to back it up taking on guys who weren't fighters they are both as Guilty as each other in the demise of this once great team they both should go or if hutchy stays it's as a bench coach and we go back to basics and get a player coach .

The Flyers desperately need a shake up, for me TD and JH have had their chances have never came up with the goods and should be replaced. But I've been banging this drum for years and tbh can't see it happening.

Pretty poor response to an honest assessment of way Flyers have been for years. If you ask for an opinion you have to accept things you might not want to hear. The product seems to have peaked in the Nickerson days, yes the team with Ian Young season were very good and were close to a really high finish, but it's the entertainment factor and being bullied on the ice that is the turn off. The rumours at the rink is that Todd wants to do a GM role with Hutchy taking over the top job. Hutch did have decent teams at times in Dundee, and played brits. So all we can do is hope that either way this season is a blip and the next one may have the full effort put in to it.
