Handing up his white board for the GM role at Storm
https://www.manchesterstorm.com/
Can only mean good times ahead for he Storm, more time to be strategic
and less pressure doubling up as coach.
Will be interesting who pops in there ??

Matt Ginn is the rumour.

Could that be where Skalde is going if the rumour he's staying in the EIHL is true

Would be a coup if it happened. For all the fact that it didn't quite work out with us, the guy has got an impressive CV. My gut feeling is that it won't be given their barn is suited to 'rock 'em, sock 'em' hockey and that's not really his thing but.... anything is possible

My bet he's Nottingham bound

 

[Mazzoak]

A larger arena team with a big budget would be a better fit for him.

Good call that, bigger arena yes, big budget not sure about that.

If Cardiff, Nottingham, Sheffield, Belfast possibly Guildford aren’t increase player spending next season I’d be very surprised. I can’t see Skalde working with the budget he obviously had in Cardiff, just won’t work.

Interesting comment - why? The budget seemed healthy enough but maybe you have more knowledge?

Knowledge no, insider information, probably not, just the rumours I’ve heard & some have hinted at on here regarding certain returnees to the Devils. I’ve heard Skalde wanted some new bigger names, Todd didn’t. How accurate, probably 2% something in it, the rest, not so much, I’d give it credibility as the quality wasn’t great in Cardiff, l can’t believe these are players recruited with the budget level pre covid.
As for the teams increasing revenue, after COVID the sport needed a wow year to bring back people and maintain them. After the lock down people priorities shifted and paying for a poor standard the reduced roaster size brought, clubs are probably seeing a need to improve.

Sums it up with you, zero factual evidence just trying to stir up something. I've ignored you for months but jeez, aren't you bored yet

Perhaps Skalde actually wanted to sign his own players. Maybe!

Thats why I wrote It. We will never know for sure, although when we find out next yrs quad it’ll give some credence if we’ve a few returning Devils.
