New era Panthers 2,055 Posted November 22, 2016 Rumours on the Ipswich thread that Newman was a priority signing for Ged but has now turned us down. Anyone heard anything? Maybe the terms he was offered didn't match those he got at Plymouth last season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,715 Posted November 23, 2016 A sound approach. Ged obviously is happy to get his cheque book out but sticks to his guns over the limits he will go to. Where others havent you see where it ends up. 👍👏 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where others havent you see where it ends up. and here lies the reason so many teams are in the rubbish .. fair play to Ged. I wish other teams would do the same so speedway could continue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted November 23, 2016 And just maybe therein lies the difference between survival and failure by being prudent with terms offered. yet you signed cook, bjerre, thomsen etc.... hardly the cheapest riders around.....its hardly prudent, its wealth. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted November 23, 2016 Last winters team building was a disaster, I hope lessons have been learnt. Not true Flying Panther is correct and we couldn't get a top NO1 at the time because there wasn't anybody available at the time. It wasn't the pre season team building that was wrong it was all the team changes that followed during the season yet you signed cook, bjerre, thomsen etc.... hardly the cheapest riders around.....its hardly prudent, its wealth. True , but they were only short term deals in the case of Bjerre and Thomsen and as far as I am aware Cook didn't demand exceptional money and was happy to be offered a team place , . and all riders wages were paid promptly nobody was left being owed money.

Super Blue 616 Posted November 23, 2016 It's not often I stray to comment on other teams threads but Peterborough were doing quite well last season until they made radical team changes then it all went t*ts up and then they faded away to fall out of the playoffs? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
