A ORLOV 8,628 Posted September 25, 2013 Dream on - it ain't about to happen!! Can't see any of the current top 3 being back. Points limit 38.5??? That level will probably mean most teams getting rid of one of the top two riders and bringing in a 3 point reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted September 25, 2013 DON'T think it will be the points limit that will determine teams rather than a cap on rider payments. If what I am hearing is correct then cannot see many of the riders who don't actually live in the UK bothering to commute here. The big question will be whether the likes of Woffinden, Holder, Ward, etc will accept the vastly reduced pay rates or simply up and go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philfromcov 326 Posted September 25, 2013 thats not good...... even easier to fiddle than the points limit lots of "extra" sponsorship, it will be a disaster, only way is the points limit, not another method yet again to muddy the water.... cant think who would have thought of that! basically its an open charter for poole to win season on season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me it seems quite easy to manipulate financial fair play through sponsorship and other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,935 Posted September 25, 2013 With a low points limit next season possibly, Matt needs to sign THJ at all costs. A 8 point rider in a weakened league in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole Quay 7 616 Posted September 25, 2013 I wonder if we have seen the end of financial transfers of riders between clubs in the UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not expensive, His deal this season was average but included a play-off qualification bonus. Edited September 25, 2013 by Hougaard Racing Fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,845 Posted September 25, 2013 Sounds like a plan, best get an extension on the trophy cabinet Seriously though they've capped the pay in the premier league this season, but I bet there's a fair few riding for more than the £55 cap. It doesn't work. I know of two EL 6-pointers who approached a PL club and offered to ride for £2000+£80/£85 per point. They didn't get the job but the mere fact they were given serious consideration suggests that £55 per point is not written in stone. I understand that most Pl clubs draw the line at £60 per point though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shouldn't think he is on a tenner a point do you? he would hardly come over here and be on peanuts.If they're are changes next year he is one of the prime candidates that would have to be let go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
