Avan Lee has resigned. Whoop Whoop!
The CEO and GM have both re-signed within weeks of each other, sounds like the board has given them the push or something is seriously going tits up at the franchise.

Re-signed or resigned?

The biggest challenge for the Canes is getting fans through the door.

The long-serving team manager is leaving to go to the Western Force.
Yep, changes all around which I think is good.
Makes the Holland signing very odd if they are pushing people along.

From the people I have spoken to, the financial pressures of the last few years has made it a tough place to work.
In saying that, some pretty lean margins with the NZ Super sides. We are lucky there is an overseas billionaire with an interest. The money is just so tight normally though for all NZ clubs.
That is why the NPC replacing Super is just not viable.

The restack should be announced shortly. The new owners will tidy the Canes up.
