marge 20 Posted December 21, 2017 I would like to see Charles Wright and Jason Doyle back, not sure about the 7th rider. Not too happy with Jack Holder but can't do anything about it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack is on a bargain ave,but he thinks of himself and has an attitude,probably to British speedway.Because both Holders wouldn't act the way they have to their UK promotors to thier Polish ones.

Col 854 Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I saw somewhere, I forget where a quote from Ford that if Somerset wish to sign C Holder, they will have to do so as an asset as the no TV money means revenue is down 20% for the Pirates. If it is 20% for Poole, I dread to think what it is for other clubs. I guess it depends how the TV money was shared, if a club hosts more televised fixtures do they get a greater percentage of the cut?

A few years ago, Swindon were looking to use Miedzinski and he went to Poole. Swindon demanded that this was a full transfer and Poole said no - a loan only. It went to arbitration and on loan he went - turning a valuable asset on a really low average into a worthless asset on a much higher average. So Poole can demand a fee but the precedence has been set and the boot is on the other foot now! Edited December 22, 2017 by Steve0 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO if Holder was going to be at Poole the deal would of been done weeks ago, I think Ford is making it look like he tried but he must of got his team sorted by now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Echo story does just call it a 'delay'!! The ball is in Holder's court but Matt will have the upper hand if Chris signs and doesn't start riding to his true capabilities - he'll just replace him with a.n.other. (probably one of a few former GP riders). Apologies - I forgot I was on the Rebels thread!! Edited December 22, 2017 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MF would be talking out his rear then as he forgot they didn't buy Miedzinski when Swindon insisted on a sale. Holder will go on loan if he wants out of Poole so there is nothing that MF can do about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As his form by his past standards have this year been down everywhere.I cant see a promoter anywhere willing to take the gamble and pay out big money for him.Loan yes worth a risk for a year.

Agrotron 955 Posted December 22, 2017 Holder is not worth 50p Somerset would be mad to buy him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted December 22, 2017 Well considering Holder is apparently still in talks with Poole and going by the Rebels social media the team is complete so could be that there is no Holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 911 Posted December 22, 2017 not sure about the 50p valuation lol,however any promoter would be totally insane to pay anywhere remotely close to the supposed asking price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
