TheScotsman 2,484 Posted July 31, 2017 Presumably Covatti and a three pointer in exchange for Sedgeman & Mountain. That would have been 10.49 to replace 9.85 when the team was already 4.30 over the points limit, so you could only have had 6.19 to make a double change.

TheScotsman 2,484 Posted July 31, 2017 when promotors and team managers don't understand the rules maybe its time they were simplified And/or get someone from the BSF to check what the teams are trying to do and also write the new rule book!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joseq7 363 Posted July 31, 2017 Even as a Glasgow supporter I do feel more than just a bit sorry for Justin Sedgman. Dumped by Leicester AND dumped by Ipswich. Lucky white heather. If only he'd been in a position to tell Louis to go **** himself. #shambles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted July 31, 2017 Wonder if the 2 new boys got better pay rates than the ones they replaced? 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlanF 295 Posted July 31, 2017 Perhaps to stop this sort of spectacle occurring again riders should be contracted for whole season and only allow changes for injuries and retirements which in turn would give riders a little bit of security and a bit of faith under the management they are being employed by , I think riders are entitled to this. Then it's up to promotions to get there team building correct from the off. Maybe they should introduce a transfer window with it only being open in July. That way riders get a guaranteed 3 months to orove their worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,166 Posted July 31, 2017 Seems like Mr Louis has been getting "expert" advice from Rathbone on how to release riders and then how to cock-up replacements and incur the wrath & rejection of the BSPA! No I think this one is solely down to Mr Louis when promotors and team managers don't understand the rules maybe its time they were simplified Maybe it's time to rip the whole book up and start again.

screm 8,067 Posted July 31, 2017 You get the feeling Ipswich might just reap what they sow regarding this latest episode. Here you have two riders who know all things being equal they would be dropped, its hardly encouragement to go out and do your best. If Sedgeman, for example, has all his visa`s sorted he is bound to be an attractive signing come next year as he cant be dropped unless he gets injured and who would blame him if he played a wonky hand between now and the end of the season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,484 Posted July 31, 2017 What is it with East Anglia / East of England? I see Batchelor has been sacked by the Great Godlike Saviour of British Speedway. So another rider who'll have to miss the second half of the season over here. Again there may have been a good reason for doing it but not on transfer day. So that's Peterbra Ippo and now Kings Lynn all with dodgy approaches to man management. At least Louise has admitted the BSPA were correct to refuse Ippo's plans.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted July 31, 2017 So if they were correct to refuse it, why try to do it in the first place. Maybe make Thursday a fancy dress evening, but clown suits only. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,484 Posted July 31, 2017 “I had proposals to make team changes but they have rightly not been approved,” Louis said. Thus spake the Star. Total over-reaction to a home loss. And would have led to an even weaker team from the stories I've heard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
