Arson fire 4,785 Posted October 31, 2014 I'm not a believer in conspiracy theories but the authorities do not help their own credibility when events, which understandably cause suspicion and concern, remain unexplained. Any business needs to build trust with their customer base and a more open attitude would do much to improve the relationship they have with the fans. the freemasons are more open and up front than these charlatans. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TMW 533 Posted October 31, 2014 Assets first then picks in order, to follow. And that is how it should be. Why should teams go to the trouble of developing their own rider just to lose them to those who don't think it's worth the bother. Although, I don't think Newman is a FTR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry The Cat 78 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) If you have the facts then inform us. Otherwise you know nothing. There is nothing `sad` about calling the integrity of someone who made changes to the draft which made no sense whatsoever. Like i said if you have information that alters that then feel free to add substance to the conversation. And you seem to be coming from a much stronger position to be fully aware of the facts surrounding why Phil Morris changed and re-assessed Benji Compton`s average. So please update us of the reasons surrounding how Phil comes out of this with his integrity in tact, you seem to be in the know. Unless you are trolling for a response. Still waiting for The H Man to impart his hot air of knowledge. Unless it was all bull of course.

Sorry Steve for taking so long to reply, but been busy washing my anorak and polishing my pin badges! No hot air or bull from me, been a mate of Phil's for many years and I can assure you and everyone else that has been taking a pop at him over the Compton situation that it was 100% nothing to do with him! I'm not saying anything else on the matter and if you choose to continue to point the finger at him then so be it!

I'm not saying anything else on the matter and if you choose to continue to point the finger at him then so be it! if hes a mate, maybe you can ask him why everything is a secret then?? Or why nothing is ever transparent.It would go a long way if those who make or rubber stamp decisions, at least explained them when they go against the rules or ethics, someone has to take responsibility somewhere along the line surely. Is that asking too much?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted November 1, 2014 Even if Morris did sell out as the season went on even if it was to save his own skin with in the sport. I would say that better to have Morris on the inside of the Sport than outside.....so what does it matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say that better to have Morris on the inside of the Sport than outside.....so what does it matter? What's the point of being on the inside, if all your good for, is taking the can when things go pear shape. To everyone in the outside world, Phil Morris has lost all his integrity and everything he stood for. And you think being on the inside is worth that ?????? If he was any man at all he would stand up for his beliefs. Why do you think the sport is in the state it's in, ????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted November 1, 2014 A certain past promoter said that speedway is a "nest of vipers"! I would have thought Phil doesn't want to harm the integrity of the sport any more than it does to itself anyway by spouting vitriol?

I certainly wouldn't stand by & take the blame for others if they were the decision makers though & you don't have to damage the sport by " Telling the truth". You keep quiet & we'll look after you would be followed by "You can stick that where the sum don't shine" if it was me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,631 Posted November 1, 2014 well last season it wasnt done in a fair way coventry were said to have first pick , in actual fact they had first pick of what was left teams that didnt have a decent reserve suffered poole who won the league were to have the last pick when in actual fact they had first pick with newman how can that be classed as fair? Spot on ...said it a Million times you have a fair draft or you don't .The moment you start letting teams use there own assets the draft is void and pointless . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
