What I want to know is does he get a 7 day ban like riders who are ill get? Or is there some sort of rule with regards to family issues like compassionate leave for example?

Falcon1983 557 Posted September 1, 2021 To cause a distraction... Looking at next season what if Crumpy only rides in the championship with Plymouth and leaves the top level racing, and throws his hat into managing the Witches? Would people like to see it?

Having seen him in his prime, probably time to call it a day, hate for him to have an even worse injury(s) than he had this year. Management maybe a different thing if it materialised , although great riders don't always make great managers think he would be pretty good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need to undergo an SCB review for "Family Issues" It is well documented that he has a mental health illness & this was the problem again. The problem is he is playing this card each & every time to get out of trouble & many now think the boy has cried wolf once to often. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're saying he did have a mental health issue even though he's saying it was a family issue? I'm not so sure you should call mental health issues" crying wolf should ya?

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Cant see how anyone can recover from Mental Health Issues in 7 days , if there has been a SCB review it should of been yesterday at the latest so that Ipswich and Glasgow know if they need to seek replacements for upcoming meetings , the statement released stated Mental Health Issues and didnt mention family issues maybe more information will be released today to advise his current situation. The main thing is that hopefully he has seeked the required help and is on the right road to a full recovery Edited September 2, 2021 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted September 2, 2021 Maybe Cook just told the club he has personal issues to deal with, the club ran with the mental health story only to be told later it was family related Just sounds like poor communication between rider and club to establish the facts before being made public Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,254 Posted September 2, 2021 Nobody seems to know the real circumstances on here and a 'family issue' can also be pretty stressful, affecting you mentally. The BSPL seem to be consistent with all previous decisions referred to on here because they say you cannot return within seven days unless cleared by them, which he seems to have been? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtf 621 Posted September 2, 2021 People will believe what they want to believe, the press will print what THEY want you to believe, clubs and riders will issue statements and tweets about what THEY want you to believe. The smell of BS is overwhelming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Jason would want to turn up to every ipswich meeting for some petrol money and to fill in a programme, compared to what he gets now. If you want to believe he's here for the love of the sport and to give something back, that's up to you. I think you'll find he's doing very nicely out of both jobs right now.
