stevebrum 6,820 Posted December 23, 2018 It’s assumed Cook was released because of wage demands or cost cutting, and his public spat over it gives it some backing. Cook wasn’t released for the good of other clubs that’s for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To make it easier, what about Jason Doyle - in Swindon’s retained this - being “released” by Leicester after three full seasons? Let’s face it, Cook and Tungate weren’t released because of any “bigger picture”. The BV management chose, solely for the sake of BV, not to re-sign these two riders. You need to ask the BV management how big their picture was I did, that’s why I posted what I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m trying to have a serious conversion correcting your misunderstanding of the BV management’s decision making process, particularly that the only “bigger picture” in not re-hiring Cook and Tungate was for the benefit of BV, exactly what they should be doing, and you seem to think that they and they alone have the good of the whole of British Speedway in mind when they make team building decisions. More fool them if that was the case. But, of course, it’s not. As I said before, you should ask them why they did it as you won’t believe me or probably anyone else.

At least one of them was telling other people in October that he wouldn’t be in the 2019 team 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since when did Thursday not suit Ipswich? Also the situation of being back un the top league in itself is not a problem either The 1 question mark is what Busters budget will allow and whether this takes advantage of the many positives of the Ipswich move or not..... Even if not then I dont see it there being a significant enough position to cause a Rye type scenario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree though sometimes the clubs that do that are their own worst enemies. As soon as BMR took over at Rye when Len Silver was more or less hounded out by the supporters. I was castigated at the time for being unhappy. But why on earth would a club like Rye House move out of the division where they had a reasonable amount of success to a league offering fewer meetings and moving from a weekend race night to midweek. Yes they were lured there by TV exposure for their brand but completely disregarded their fans base and the negativity shown over Wednesday night racing. The demise of Rye House was down to the Owners guiding the club not the BSPA 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
