Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted January 18, 2019 18 minutes ago, BluPanther said: This has Chapmans hands all over it, flexing his 'muscles' now the sale is completed ... Was my initial thoughts as well. Both Louis and Ged are on record as saying is was “business as usual” although obviously not as before, and they were building the team. Perhaps they were given a rough estimate of available funds and built the teams accordingly. Now that a sale has been completed, buster has decided it’s too expensive? The other possibility, is buster has a responsibility to all three clubs he’s now in charge of, and he can see that Ipswich are struggling to get in a heatleader? There is one available (Tungate), but for reasons I won’t go in to on here that is a move that won’t happen. So his plan is to move Bomber out of one of his clubs and move him to another, and then move Tungate to Peterborough where he’d be more welcome.. Only speculating of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised at either scenario. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,847 Posted January 18, 2019 Surely tungate will now be on his way. Or maybe bellego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambpanther 172 Posted January 18, 2019 So is buster the 100% owner now? Dosent add up as ged stated on radio a while back saying buster gave ged a budget for the team and the team was put together within budget and approved by buster.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealFiend 1,109 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Don't think the team change has got anything to do with finances. Ipswich are struggling to sign 7 riders up. Only rider on a 7+ average in the league that's available is Tungate and the promotion haven't returned his calls by the sound of things. So to help the cannon fodder Witches. Buster abuses his power and decides to trade Harris to Ippo whilst Tungate takes the spot available at Panthers. Panthers fans shouldn't complain because Tungate is a better rider than Harris. Harris produces the odd good ride from time to time but never consistent whilst Tungate loves the Showground.

Maybe Ged signed the riders and Buster is/was unhappy with the costs? Maybe Ged thought by announcing the riders then Buster would give in and let the Panthers have 3 riders demanding no 1 wages? Maybe Buster wants one of those 3 at one of his other teams that can afford them within the budget set, Ipswich you would think still have funds for a No 1. Maybe now "someone" has found out that the team doesnt fit as reductions to averages are not now there? Maybe this has been going on for weeks and only now come to light? Maybe we will never know ? Maybe with all this new transparency the fans will be told? Wouldnt happen in a professional sport...... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tungate has publicly said that he’s contacted both Louis and Ritchie Hawkins about a team place, and had no reply from either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted January 18, 2019 IMO lies more lies and subterfuge ,lies and deceit seems to be the default position for those in charge of our sport. Probably they will blame Brexit and Theresa May 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
