I didn't see that one coming!

Due to the sheer volume of players and now coaches they nick, can we now just call them the Sheffield Stealers?

Very interesting appointment didn't ever hear a murmur of this must have kept Simmsy out the loop! Who for Giants though?!

 

[Tad#]

Could this be an indication of how bad things are going to get in Belfast? They've still got this Kinght problem to solve...

 

[Wannabe2]

Steelers just got a lot more hateful, can't stand the man..

 

[Skippy]

If the levels of debts that Knight claims he's been saddled with are correct I can see why someone might jump ship from Belfast

Be interesting to see who he brings with him..

Should imagine all the Steelers British players are breathing a huge sigh of relief......unless Chritiansen decides to have a cull. Of course they didnt do player development at the Giants either so expect him to be on the look out for 'finished article' British replacements.

Obviously feels he can take the pressure Tony Smith will put him under.

 

[Finny]

Wowsers!

 

[Earnie]

Wonder what sort of pay rise he got to be enticed out of the Giants set up?
Steelers(Stealers) will be a more formidable squad next season that's for sure!

A bigger budget (assuming Giants are cutting theirs) and a secure owner ?

 

[ASHIPP]

Wonder if any Giants players will follow him?

I'm more interested in who the new Giants coach will be.......Paul Adey? Paul Gardner? A .new coach to the UK?

 

[Wannabe2]

Good job Christiansen aint a ships captain, the women and children surely wouldnt have been first off.

 

[Reggie Dunlop 74]

With big Doug being the biggest whinger in Uk hockey it sounds like a match made in heaven.

 

[Skippy]

If he can take the pick of the litter from from Belfast and keep some of the core at Sheffield the Steelers could be a whole different animal next season.

 

[James]

and their fans will leave in droves because they are winning but bored

 

[buzzwagon]

Interesting move this one, seems to indicate that the dosh is a bit thin on the ground now?
