Assuming he was to sign of course Has be been Swindon bound then of course the 8% reduction for his 4 years out of UK would have been fairer Swindon would have been able to sign him on his old average, just like we did with Musielak last year. It's called the Rosco Discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's called the Rosco Discount. I don't have a bad word to say about Rosco. The guy has boundless enthusiasm for the sport. Is a seriously good team manager and did a brilliant job with Swindon last year. The sport needs more like him and long may he continue in the sport. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted January 8, 2018 Hopefully this means that Chris has signed and Sundstrom has been given the go ahead by Gorzow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MInd you Poole let Newman go last season , loyalty doesnt mean a lot these days Poole aren't known for loyalty. They have an asset In Ellis Perks that they would appear happy to let retire as he has no teams for the new season. 52 minutes ago, Gambo said: So his 2013 average (7.17 for Coventry & Peterborough) should be increased accordingly? His average will probably be reduced knowing the ludicrous assessments for some riders this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't blame the player for a flaw in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been this way for years! Sometimes it's a good thing as it keeps riders on their toes, but sometimes it's not. Poole have had a lot of success under Matt's reign though using this method. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your team succeeds, you can't keep them next season. The only way to win is to build a team with riders who are likely to exceed their average. There is no room for kisses and cuddles. If you want loyalty then you'll have to change the rules (or accept losing on a regular basis). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You dumped 2 riders and then could not fit the riders to replace them so brought them back again. Once again loyalty was not shown. Why should anyone take loyalty in speedway. It’s about having a good team if you own the club and making money if you are a rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
