It was not a good evening for Buster last night with Panthers being joined by the Witches and the Stars in losing important meetings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said that there would be no 2019 Panthers without Chapman. Rathbone said that he would run Panthers 2019 whether or not the club was sold. Couldn't have been more wrong there but will still argue that black is white. In terms of a losing business, if he's talking about speedway generally then most will probably agree. If he's talking about Rathbone and Panthers then he should have scrolled further down the news item that he quoted because Rathbone also said: “Don’t get me wrong, we’ve probably broken even over the four years and maybe even made a small profit ". Personally I think Chapman was the only offer on the table and not wanting to lose his investment in the future or particularly wanting to carry on in 2019 he pinched his nose and signed a deal that seemingly started to unravel before the ink was dry. He also said in oct 2019 unless he sold the club it might have to close that is also in Black and White .. the fact of the matter the guy has put out different statements so only he knows what the truth is . So no one is right or wrong Edited July 12, 2019 by orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lukas 911 Posted July 12, 2019 Doesn't matter who we have..we won't beat B.Vue and won't make the play offs due to the sub standard team that has been assembled as a number to just keep this this tinpot league alive. After the Harris and Cook debacle and the lack of will to win I've seen over recent weeks from this management they aren't having anymore of my cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This indicates that both of those are wrong so on the basis of what we know (and I agree that the truth could be somewhat different but we're not discussing assumptions or guesswork) it's fair to say that you were wrong both times: Three ‘serious parties’ are interested in buying Peterborough Panthers Edited July 12, 2019 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rathbone seemed pretty competent working within budget and it wasn't exactly a secret so when did it become an issue, surely someone noticed these press notices: PANTHERS SWOOP FOR HARRIS 4/12/18 - ANDERSEN MAKES PANTHERS RETURN 6/12/18 - PANTHERS IN COOK SWOOP 10/12/18 - WRIGHT MAN FOR PANTHERS 13/12/18 - DOUBLE SIGNING FOR PANTHERS (Bjerre/Barker) 17/12/18 - BRAD BACK WITH PANTHERS 20/12/10 inc - PANTHERS 2019 (Team subject to normal BSPA approval): Chris Harris, Hans Andersen (c), Craig Cook, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Charles Wright, Lasse Bjerre, Ben Barker. - note it doesn't mention anyone else's approval which one assumes had already been agreed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
