Do they honestly think the supporters are that stupid? They should have just told the truth, I think most would have accepted that or at least appreciated the honesty. It's been a very damaging episode - a PR disaster at the time when they should have been pushing season tickets & attracting sponsors, all the positivity has been undone & it looks very much like we have lost Ged.

If that's true, I think Buster should release a book called: 'How to Pi55 everybody off, with fingers in too many pies' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted January 31, 2019 Tungate is "owned" by Ipswich and as Ipswich is now "owned " by Buster it saves money for Buster to use one if his riders. Unlike a lot of "no 1s" Tungate was willing to ride in the PL but was never ever going to ride for Ipswich or possibly Kings Lynn. Personally I think it makes Peterborough stronger but it was the way it was done that was the issue treating the fans with contempt and disregard. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted January 31, 2019 Would not be surprised if Harris is on the same deal as he had with Boro, and Tungates deal is similar. Rider control, East Anglia style! If the BSPA was properly governed with an independent Executive in control, it would impose strong limitations and conditions on all proposed team changes during the season by Chapman's three clubs where riders would be moving from one club to another. For consistency the same should apply to Leicester and Sheffield, by the way! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,258 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Can't see how Tungate saves Peterborough much money - unless Harris really was on a fantastic deal. Rohan definitely makes you stronger. Edited January 31, 2019 by SPEEDY69 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rohan definitely makes you stronger. A weird one Tungate makes them much stronger and he has the potential to improve. I imagine the change was because he is a Ipswich/ Chapman asset and it saves him Chapman money. Edited January 31, 2019 by Sidney the robin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted January 31, 2019 Beginning to think that its possible Harris was asked to go to Ipswich on the same terms and maybe even with a bonus, so that Tungate could join the only club he would ride for of Chapmans teams, it solved Ipswich's problem and the fact he had an asset that he could now use. What role Ged and Neil played in this no one will ever know, does perhaps make Peterborough a bit stronger looking but doesn't stand well in PR terms. If Cooks actual average before the reduction is higher than Tungate's which average will they use for riding position within the team the one used for team building purposes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding is that the reduction is for initial team building only however the PR states Tungate will start as no 1 I agree with others this is likely to make the Panthers stronger overall as Tungate is still effectively on the way up and is in good current form finishing second to Fricke in the recent Australian Championship.

The fact is, it’s Ipswich that won’t have Tungate back, NOT that Tungate won’t ride for Ipswich. The rider himself has publicly said he’s asked Chris Louis and Ritchie Hawkins about a team place, and received no reply. He’s simply not welcome back at Ipswich. Good luck to him at Peterborough though. As I said earlier, makes Peterborough stronger. Tungate will be in the 7-8 average range, Harris will drop to 6-7. IMO.
