Wackie 938 Posted May 29, 2015 I'll add my tuppenth worth wherever I like!!! Havvy's a tool, not as much a tool as Muddlo granted, but he's been involved in the sport long enough not to make the basic tactial mistakes he has done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,355 Posted May 29, 2015 I'll add my tuppenth worth wherever I like!!! Havvy's a tool, not as much a tool as Muddlo granted, but he's been involved in the sport long enough not to make the basic tactial mistakes he has done. And in the heat of a meeting in the pits im very sure you could do better as well. Neils done it for 15 years, how long has Havvy been in management ? Its a little different on the other side of the fence compared to riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wackie 938 Posted May 29, 2015 So what makes you such an expert then to dismiss everyone else's opinion? Selling the Star, where others just read it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,355 Posted May 29, 2015 So what makes you such an expert then to dismiss everyone else's opinion? Selling the Star, where others just read it? And what makes you such an expert to think that team management is easy. Tell you what pal, like that other fickle Coventry fan, put you in the pits in the heat of a meeting. when decisions have to be made at a drop of a hat You wouldn't last 2 minutes.

Wackie 938 Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah, none of us have to make important decisions in the real world do we, or in our line of work managing people & teams. Do you never answer a question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a speedway team manager is hardly a hard job ....most speedway fans with a lot of common sense could do the job when it comes to making decisions ....if fact due to the rules these days there is hardly any decisions to make . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YerRopes 3,009 Posted May 29, 2015 Yes so i also brought up about you fickle lot wanting havvy out last year. Call yourself fans..Try reading the posts properly.. Cretin What's all this 'call yourself fans' nonsense Starman... Everyone bar Poole supporters can class themselves as proper fans rather than glory hunters that adopt the cheating practices of your often disgraceful outfit.. Cov are currently running away with the league despite Havvy as TM who obviously has some sort of inferiority complex or other, but at least he doesn't abuse fans and behave like a neanderthal like your brainless hapless manager does 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman has an important decision to make every home meeting - do I put my paperbag over my right or left shoulder? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orion 7,615 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) you mean it's not rocket science!!! Yea it's tough ...change the reserves in one heat and then pick two riders in heat 15 Not sure your be up to that . Edited May 29, 2015 by orion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kester 3,028 Posted May 29, 2015 We can put this argument to bed right now. It clearly all depends on who you are. If you're a relatively compos mentis type of person you should be able to be a speedway manager without too much trouble. However, if you're the type of person who struggles to hold a biro the right way round then being a speedway manager must appear to be a very demanding job. So, all of you are right. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't forget, spending hours pouring over riders' averages to find who has the best scores around the circuit you are at, so you can beat the other team in asking him to guest...!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wackie 938 Posted May 29, 2015 Don't you have to tell riders not to score points so their averages can be falsified and other riders brought into the team, or is that down to the promoter? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
