King Jamie 350 Posted July 6, 2022 1 hour ago, MD said: Claus is now sitting nicely on an average of 6.73 which makes him hugely employable next year if Brum drop him. It's better than that... The end of season rolling averages will be based on just 10 meetings. Vissing has ridden 10 this season (4H/6A) with an average of 5.00. Not sure if there will be any Newcastle adjustments to be made but I would say he's even more "hugely employable" now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had plenty at West Ham in the 60s, atmosphere that is although I don't remember much singing just lots of cheering and booing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends how you view 'hugely employable'. To me, someone unreliable and happy to let his paymasters and team mates down at short notice causing you a major headache and making you scrat around for a replacement makes him 'hugely unemployable' in my view, couldn't care how low his average is. Not beneficial if he keeps going missing... Personally I think the authorities should start adding half a point to a riders average everytime they become unavailable without a valid reason to protect clubs a bit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think the authorities should start adding half a point to a riders average everytime they become unavailable without a valid reason to protect clubs a bit I do agree re unreliable riders not being ideal. Probably poorly written by myself but I was just noting how much more favourably he could be looked upon by certain teams given that he may be on 5.00 as opposed to the 6.73 average originally mentioned by MD. If he didn't cause any trouble during his Glasgow days then they, for example, could well be up for signing him in 2023. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
