Regarding PR commenting on the negativity
I firmly believe that negativity is created by the actions/words of certain people but what is far more worrying is the apathy of some fans who, in the past would have rushed to ask questions no longer care enough to do so. This is a sad indication that this club's hard core fans have now come to the end of their patience with the current administration.
If the club is to progress these customers will need to be replaced, and there isn't a constant flow of newbies that will return week in week out. Therefore customer ( fan ) retention should be the priority target for the business

Shannon was hardly much better, full of empty promises and a major letdown for a number of sponsors.
Whether he was just another person shafted by the wonder team that is Ragan & Pope who knows, but he isn't what we need.
The same people are still involved with the club who have been involved in all the nonsense for the past few seasons, nothing has really changed despite the promises.
Apart from Brent seemingly becoming chief adviser and this season leading us down a very rocky path.

Can we have someone completely new to get rid of every single person currently involved (bar the coaching staff) and start a fresh?
Free of the continual Mistakes that have plagued us since Bob Phillips took over. I mean seriously how long do the same set of people need to be involved and the same thing happen over and over before someone wakes up and makes the change?
Sadly I wont hold my breathe
we'll just continue lurching from one crisis to the next, with everyone protecting their positions with cloak and dagger rustling in the shadows. as per.At least the NHL is back to watch eh? :cry:

Gazza I havent as a rule agreed with your posts in the past but lately we are on the same wavelength! welcome to my World..
Serious question, with no hidden agenda
What alternatives do we have if people think/believe/have factually eveidence for PR to go.
a) PR to sell / walk away? who has money to throw into a sporting club losing money ?
b) a supporters buy out? who has the time, experience and coordination skills to manage.
c) ?
It's no surprise that sporting club owners in all sports are questioned and or despised by the fans, for making decisions or methods of running the club, who have stood by the teams for years irrestective of who plays, coaches or owns the teams. Cardiff City (need I say more), Man Utd, Blackburn, previous devils owners, Durham IHC, Scott Neil, Glamorgan CCC, the list is endless
I think the difference is is that with Ice Hockey the player / supporter bond is closer than in many sports, which i'm not knocking, but with social media, access to company accounts it adds fuel to any fire.

I agree - social media has increased the rumour audience a hundredfold - spreading both inaccurate and accurate information. This doesn't mean things have got worse its just highlighted viewpoints and given them a higher profile. Most people only know a small part of what goes on, very few people know it all and that is right as it is a business at the end of the day. Public access to all information is not commercially advisable and should not be seen as a right. :idea:
I dont want PR to go. I want him to get rid of the people who have advised him wrongly since he began. By his own admission Ragan has had no prior experience in sport and he has put his trust in folk who have twisted him to their own means.
They are the ones who's head should be on the block. Fresh team in and then if the same mistakes happen again we should look higher up.
