Judging by your reading of everything Speedway I feel pretty ok with that as you have proved time and time again you have no clue about anything.. Just a sad bitter old man who likes to threaten people from behind a screen, when in reality you would cower behind people, Its quite funny really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,018 Posted August 22, 2019 Okay... Does anyone REALLY know what the role of "Team Manager" entails these days? I know it includes a generic, "be there for the riders, support them, and fight for them" ideal, but what else? Back in the day, it was the team manager's job to select riders for the World Team Cup, World Pairs, and numerous test matches. Now, we have just one event with three riders, and a couple of subs. Woffinden is a given. A fit Lambert is a given. Even though I am not a Cook fan, he is pretty much a given. So, we only have to worry about a couple of others, none of whom really stand out above the competition. Of course, there are the tactical decisions to be made during the meetings, but even then, these are minimal as the riders have their input. I'm not knocking anyone or anything, but it does seem that a manager's role is far removed from what it used to be. Sad... Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as i am aware he is not third in Scunthorpe's averages this year is he? i feel pretty ok debating with a w....r like you.!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 23, 2019 Whether he would want to do it is a different matter, but I'd like to throw Mark Loram's name out there. I think looking at the fact that for at least another 5 years Tai will be top dog, so with that in mind Pete Adams does seem the logical choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted August 23, 2019 While the GB team is owned by an outside organisation I would think they will be doing the choosing ( or should be ). As someone has already posted the job is hardly an onerous one with speedway as it is. Is a new appointment really necessary? Between those top three riders, they are able to make the tactical decisions themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
