Mmmm, Harlan is having what is called in the trade.....a mare ;-) You should empathise. Saw you having one of them on the Clan forum the day Krestanovich left ;D I never have one of them Finchy ;-)

Yep that is what I have heard as well. He has been very unhappy at Braehead all season and apparently gave his two week notice the same time as Krestanovich which means that the two weeks is up either tomorrow or Tues. Three different people have told me about Galbraith coming, two of which I trust and all of them told me last weekend Is one them sources the guy that told you players are demanding £1500 per week...? Given that the old wage cap was £7,500 a week (£12,000 per week gross) and the well published issues of Sheffield Steelers spending in excess of £10,000 per week (not gross) and Cardiff in excess of £8,000 per week (not gross), I would not say it was unrealistic to say some players were being paid as much as £2,000 per week. I mean really, do you think players like Craig Weller, Drew Bannister and others were playing for £500 a week? C'mon! When you take into account the import limit was 10 back then, the lower end imports, so 2nd liners were paid roughly £500, the better players between £500 and £1000 and the star players like Craig Weller as much as £2000 per week. These teams were not spending £10,000 a week on nobody. At £500 a week, you'd need 20 imports to make £10,000 a week!

Whilst Jade is not without fault, you can't argue about what a class act he is when he's firing on all cylinders. He was magical to watch at Nottingham and would pull moves and make plays that left you amazed, even though a fair few of the fanbase gave him stick for his lack of hunger (not in the culinary sense) and motivation.
The key thing is for the coaching staff IF he signs is to make sure you keep him 'in the zone' and free from all those distractions that being a pro-hockey player brings. If you can do that then you'll have a fairly special hockey player on your roster who'll help to draw the crowds in.

Looks like Krestanovich move to Sheffield being blocked by Neil Black & co (reading between the lines from Simmseys tweets) - bad stuff if true - gets done over by them then they won't let him move in the UK - won't have legs to stand on if true
Interesting few weeks ahead!

He has no legal basis to do that surely. How can blocking someone from taking a job be legal?

he has every right to move. clan have breached his contract by bringing in a new coach and asking him to play on as a player from what I was told.

If JK invoked the 2 week clause, then as soon as that is done no one can stop him joining any other club.

Krestanovich will be a free agent after his two weeks notice is up
After his two week notice is up nobody can stop any other player from playing for whoever he wants to play irrsepective of any gentlemans agreement.
Good luck with taking a gentlemans agreement to any court and hoping it would get upheld. You would hear the laughing all over the country

Totally agree. Simmsey mentions manipulation though so you wonder what is going on behind the scenes. Could be anything like a bad reference as a coach scuppering his future career

We'll go from 2 signings on Sunday to no one new in come game time on Saturday and Casey will probably still be "needing another week".
