Wouldn't be surprised in the least the the new coach, when announced, is someone we already know. The PR says this person is new to this country.... would that mean new to the UK in a coaching capacity?
The Ownership and the Club expound, promote and achieve success. But the culture at the Club is much more than that... stability and the ability of personnel to 'fit' in are two major considerations in recruitment here. In the case of the coaching appointment, reading the PR, emphasis also on an individual who can commit longterm.
Wildly guessing this is someone who could be a family man wanting stability, a man with experience of European and American leagues and competitions and, of course, will understand the values and ethos of the Cardiff Devils. Could be one or two names close to home who fulfill that description.........think about it.
And I don't mean Pope, Faryna, Thompson, Finnerty or G.
