mc1874 56 Posted January 1, 2015 Glasgow want him He wants to go to Glasgow Brian Havelock wants a ridiculous transfer fee He won't get it Transfer fees in speedway are dead ducks. Clubs don't have the money these days. It's a saga indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted January 1, 2015 Glasgow want him He wants to go to Glasgow Brian Havelock wants a ridiculous transfer fee He won't get it Giving the actions of Havelock recently he`s just ridiculous full stop, actions that will come back to bite him with any luck. Summers will sign for Glasgow and the best of luck to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ch958 2,395 Posted January 1, 2015 Glasgow seem to have the money. Yes but they won't pay 25k no one would It'll go to tribunal Havvy is just being an idiot and he'll find cooperation from some fellow promoters will be less forthcoming because of this and other acts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lioness 1,455 Posted January 1, 2015 Glasgow seem to have the money. Which makes you wonder if Havelock would have been playing games with Summers future had it been another club or Glasgow last season? Or is it purely a case of Glasgow have been so fortunate to have the Facenna's step in so lets try and bleed some exhorbatent 'transfer' fee out of them by playing with a guys livlihood? Dont get me wrong, if there has been an illegal approach I would not condone that in any way but there is no evidence of that as yet and the portrait painted so far seems to be one of wanting a share of the other boys sweets in the playground 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted January 1, 2015 Glasgow seem to have the money. Maybe so but we won't pay 25k for him in-fact i would be disappointed if we succumbed to Havelock's demands and paid anything at all but this will go to arbitration to sort out were they will set any fee to be paid Certainly putting some noses out off joint is Mr Havelock firstly with Kus & Berwick and Now Summers with us makes you wonder if Kus really wanted to go back to Berwick who told him that they couldn't afford the 21k Havelock was demanding and was afraid off not having a team place at all. Summers it seems is more stubborn it appears and has refused to back down to Havelock's tactics. Dangerous ploy to play by both but as i have said before other clubs will be observing how this pan's out and this may well come back to bite Havelock in the erse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly would not pay money to sign Summers,if Glasgow had sense they would look elsewhere . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whiteliner 72 Posted January 1, 2015 Having witnessed Mr Havelock's tantrums over many many years I would say that he doesn't actually give a toss if Summers is riding this year or not. Mr Havelock has one priority and that is himself, he does not care what other people think about him and he is always right. Its my belief that he is after getting as much money together before he quits speedway altogether at the end of 2015. I say this because the lease at Redcar runs out after the 2015 season and the 3 people running the club are at an age when I cant see any of them wanting to re-new a lease. These 3 wise men who run Redcar have I believe had some very good offers to buy them out over the last couple of seasons, every offer being refused as it is their club. They want nobody else involved and are not willing to sell. 2015 could very well be the last year speedway takes place at Redcar, they would rather the place shuts down than sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is indeed the case then it does go some way to explain the bravado attitude to other clubs wanting to sign riders which to a degree i can understand but there is only so far you can push things before it could go Pete Tong for him.

Whiteliner 72 Posted January 1, 2015 Redcar opened up on 13th April 2006 on an initial 10 year lease. 2015 is the last year of the lease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
