It's a farce really! Whole revamp of the top dogs needed! Surely get 1 admin person on top of these expenses each month and boom- payment made! Not hard surely?

Just shows how a professional sport is run by amateurs and how bad it makes the sport look. Its no wonder that ice hockey is still a minority sport that finds it hard to attract sponsors & good media coverage.

The whole of the league or just the powerful top 5 should get together and just try and get a load of teams and breakaway from this rubbish unprofessional league!! Somethings gota happen top few from EPL prehaps aswell and make a top league run by top people, but not sure who, but even if it's run by kids it'll be a step forward!! :lol:

Eh?
The league is run by the league. Breaking away is not the answer - it is already a breakaway league.
What it needs is a massive shake-up over the summer. What the heck is Eamon Convery doing these days?
If the Referee's aren't being paid and are out of pockey then they should go on strike. The current big cheese's in the EIHL seem to be far busier trying to put down Paul Ragan and stop his attempts at reorganisation and professionalism that they aren't doing what they should be.

Perhaps this is why Michel was given 5 games in the hope the Devils wouls appeal?

Isn't the only revenue the league gets from the playoff finals weekend? (It has no sponsorship) If so, where is it going to get the cash from between now and then as it seems they've run out.

They also get a share of the CC semi-finals and finals I think. So a cynic would suggest that Belfast v Nottingham would be a far better fixture for them financially.

You know what'll happen next... they'll be playing 'double count games' to make up for the missed ones because they haven't got the ice time to squeeze them in between the others.

The reason that the a few of the elite league officials haven't been payed is because sheffield have still not payed the money they owe to the league for ITC's. Obviously it was dodgy bob who did this but it is now up to Paul Ragan to hand over the money.

Also for the people who say the league is run by amateurs well it is run by the owners. They are Mike Cowley/Andy Buxton, Neil Black, the ward family, Jim Gillespie/Todd Kelman, Scott Neil and Paul Ragan. Out of these 6 you could probably argue one is very amateurish, thats it. People say things without actually thinking things through
