Ex-Clan D Man says no to Devils.....

Yeah, just sounds like he was homesick. I take no offence from that. I take more offence at Finnerty's 'You're not good enough for us: fancy Cardiff? '

Really? He would rather not play at all than for us? Come on.....And why did he get gassed? Oh yeah Kenton got fit and he wasn't wanted. This would be same Kenton Smith who wasn't offered a contract for this season by the devils. So as it stands we are missing in no particular order and in differing lengths:

Mark Smith - variable
Andrew Conboy - 12 skanking games
Gerad Adams - forever
Phil Hill - forever
Adam Ross replacement - length of a piece of string that one

Not really a club in meltdown turmoil crisis at all and quite an enticing prospect to move across the atlantic for eh?

A job's a job. If he wanted to play in the UK it was a paycheck until something better came along. I don't know though: nor will I.

It looks like thats the case doesnt it? Or are you and your lapdog jodyisagirlsname going to try and claim that somehow Ragan and Pope are influencing the press releases coming out of Braehead now? Oh wait, that's a stupid questions because of course you are. Now all we need is that cretin Wannabe2 to turn up and claim he wants to jump off the severn bridge again because the signing didnt happen.

Not really sure how the Kenton Smith not being signed here issue has any bearing here. At various points in the summer people were posting on here saying Kenton had told them personally he was retiring, obviously someone is lying or he changed his mind. Of course, the blame probably lies at Ragan and Popes door for that somehow, its just funny how you had nothing to say when this popped up in the summer isnt it?

Adam Ross was replaced, by Morrissette, you might not like that fact, or that the club put out a PR making that abundantly clear but it happened. Just because you dont like what has happened with the coaching setup doesnt mean that the other signing didnt happen.

Adams is the only player we desperately need to replace with someone better, Hill has been replaced by the other young brits we already have signed up. If we had to release him because of poor crowds or cost savings then its unfortunate but its a pro sport and unfortunately things are only going to get worse now all these people with morals that the rest of us dont have are cancelling their season tickets or just not turning up to the games.

And for your final point, he wasnt across the atlantic he was or is still in this country but obviously thats not convenient enough for your current way of posting is it. If hes had a shit time in braehead or even this country as a whole then hes not going to agree to a move somewhere else in the country is he???? Thats even mentioned in the press release from braehead!!!!
but it just hasn’t worked out for him here.

I agree a job is a job, but the press release clearly states hes going home and taking some time ou.t What is wrong with you people, why must everything be a conspiracy that is being organised from cardiff???????

No need for name calling just because people have a different opinion to you.

Sorry mate: I meant that if he wasn't genuinely going home to take time out then he would've taken the money to stay in the game, even if he hated his employers. As it is, he's gone home for time out so I've no reason to doubt the truth of this specific assertion. :)

Cheers Paul, think I have agreed with one of Rolfs posts in the history of the inferno and the cretin Wannabe2 has supported this club since day 1 through thick and thin but anyone who doesn't agree with you or is one of your lapdogs is not allowed to have an opinion. If the time you and the stooges spend reading and posting on here was used constructively maybe you wouldn't be in the situation you are now.

People who are cancelling st s and not attending games are doing so because of the actions of the club but its so easy to blame them, the customers rather than admit any mistakes. We all appreciate that a man that can't make a mistake can't make anything and people will accept human error and even forgive it, what people find difficulty with is the total arrogance that your way is the right way

Apologies to Wannabe and Jodyetc for getting you a slap on here. For the record I know neither of these people; well leastways not by their forum names. Devilspete, if you really are Paul Ragan, then good on yer. Didn't that pratt wannabe do a lot to ensure ice hockey is kept alive in Cardiff? Best way to kill off a customer base is to do it one by one.

Even lapdogs and cretins understand you attack the post not the poster.
However, your clumsy and retaliatory insults do a great job of proving Kipper wrong for previously calling you out :DWD

Perhaps it has bearing (given recent events) as he was until recently being screwed over for money by the Club. Someone should tell our newly enlightened coach / MD that loyalty is a two-way street.

DevilsPete said:
obviously someone is lying
Never a truer word.
DevilsPete said:

Yep
DevilsPete said:

Perhaps not all the facts were known then as Kenton, being loyal and honourable, had not told everyone how he was being screwed.

We're all well aware that you sack D to hire forwards and then sack forwards to *try* and hire a D....

DevilsPete said:

Doesn't mean that the other horror show decisions haven't happened either. Just because you don't like fans/customers disagreeing doesn't mean they have not been cancelling Season Ticket payments as a result of Club decisions. A Club that then talks of 'loyalty'. Sickening.

But, but, but..... We have been told that attendances have been up on last year. Surely that coupled with the awesome year of ST sales and sponsorship under the relationship-building stewardship of Brent Pope means the Devils have cash to burn?

DevilsPete said:

What's wrong with us people is we have liars and backstabbers for owners and MDs. If we could fix that the Devils would be aces.

Again though - way to disguise your posting style. 'You people' really endears you to the fanbase I am sure. A lot like the PRs on the Devils website. Great to have good communications like that.

Just for the record I mentioned Kenton as it was an irony that a player his new club released to make ways for him refused a chance to join this happy little ship. There is a lot of stuff that went on over the summer which I'll not post on here including how Kenton's negotiations with this club were progressing or not as it transpired. That's his business not for here and, I kinda feel like I was pointing at the moon whilst you were looking at my finger when you raise that point against my post.

As for that Braehead guy, yeah I am aware he's over here and still didn't fancy it in Cardiff, despite him being an unemployed professional ice hockey player. I suspect that our likely new signings might have to fly across the atlantic though, which was why I made the point.

That's if the Devils really are getting any new players that is. Will believe it when I see it.

You make a good point there, according to press releases we were close to signing a top end D man who was due in time to play last weekend, shuffling Gerad into a broom cupboard shouldn't have delayed it by that much. Unless of course the legal fees to so do took all of our spare playing budget........
