Pete Russell off to Germany

[Diablo3]

So not as expected. i.e Panthers. He'd just signed a new two year deal, and was putting his squad together. Big loss for the Clan. You have to feel sorry for the fans too.

He's going to EHC Freiburg of DEL2. He's going to have his work cut out for him. They just avoided relegation in this year.

Maybe this is also his swansong as GB head coach ! It's going to be pretty difficult to watch the GB players when your coaching and living in Germany. New coach GB ????

Lordo has expressed an interest in coaching GB, I bele. Keefe has also coached the UK.

Anyone else think the timing/ PR handling of Russell's departure from the Clan might have had been another factor in last night's GB performance?

No.

The players would have known ages ago

 

[Swarley]

No.

The players would have known ages ago

How would players from different clubs know this?

They've had 3 weeks of training together...... can't believe it wasn't discussed

 

[pjj365]

Would he not tell them to avoid their being surprised part way through the tournament

Players are used to keeping secrets about their own and other signings every year so this would be no problem

WhatsApp groups. I'd guarantee all the GB players have a group. They're mates.

Lets be honest, we all knew this was happening. The chance the players didn't is slim
