Quite correct - but it didn't stop other clubs from making him an offer!! Its amazing all the different ways that people can communicate in this day and age?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a number one with a much lower average than first envisaged would mean at least 1 and possibly more changes further down to avoid being way under the limit.... Tungate really isnt the answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted December 26, 2018 I don’t think Poole have financial troubles but they obviously have an issue going for riders like Worrall and Josh rather than Woryna and Jacobsen. I guess Matt Ford must be saving his money for when he can make changes which with this 1-7 must happen I would imagine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact he won't have to do that for any of the 1-7 next season. Merely cutting the cloth accordingly for 2019. Losing some sponsorship probably only puts Poole on a similar level to the other 6 clubs!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirates of Poole's post saying Allen was down to money. books have to be balanced = Financial difficulties. We cant even afford a reserve who is British based. PROOF is in the Christmas pudding. He is just sensible with his money, maybe he should let Glasgow know how it's done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich offered more money the same club who are struggling to put a team together for 2019 due to a number of riders turning them down and they're not even top foreign riders of GP boys. According to Falcon1983 we're talking about Nicholls and co. That should tell you Ipswich are offering riders poor contracts. Yet that same club offered Allen more money than Poole did so that is alarming. Not really. Most clubs offer more money than Poole do, has always been that way in the past.

Sounds like Matt has been paying himself plenty out of the club and the rich sponsors making up the wages of the riders..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
