lucifer sam 3,953 Posted May 30, 2018 Complete shambles! Mr Rossiter, that's a great way of totally undermining one of your riders just prior to the Speedway Of Nations. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pi$$ poor as usual Doesn’t it state Rossiter and Cook talked on the phone Wednesday afternoon? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so far though.Do feel for him though,he seems to put a lot of pressure on himself though. ps. Another rider who should watch what he says on social media , by the looks of it. Cook did well for Rybnik and in winning the GP qualifier so they are obviously getting somewhere with his engines. Cook said nothing wrong on social media. He was letting fans know what had happened and was very magnanimous about it. 5 minutes ago, iris123 said: Doesn’t it state Rossiter and Cook talked on the phone Wednesday afternoon? It did but Rossiter got the wrong end of the stick and then without clarifying the situation sacked Cook by text. As I said, you don't do that because you are under an impression you make sure you have the facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you agree with me.And on the other bit I agree with you Surely shows Rossiter isn’t fit to be team manager.Sounds more like he should join the BSF and start posting crap here like some others lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COURTNEY not seen in either Warsaw or Prague. Craig lost the chance of some serious help at SGPs because Courtney's presence was supposed to be part of his deal with Rybnik.

Mark 1,497 Posted May 30, 2018 Whether Cook had a doctors note or didn't his 7 day ban would run out on Monday 4th. Why would that stop him riding the next day ? Some embarassing backtracking done here. Captain Calamity (Rosco) has made a complete hash of his job. My guess is he fancied the in form Lambert to ride as his first choice partner to Tai. But the backlash has made him retrace his steps with a very smelly excuse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Central 2,654 Posted May 30, 2018 If Cook feels the answer to any question is 'Mark Courtney'. Then he has been asking himself the wrong questions. But hey isn't it good to have a really professional outfit running the British team? Cackhanded management and adolescent press releases are just the thing we were looking for. Well done boys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) It was madness. Even if Cook had a doctor's note for 7 days it obviously didn't cover the meeting, which would mean we couldn't replace him. So why limit your chances by sacking Cook and leaving us with a 2 man team when Lambert as a reserve can be used at any time. You do have to wonder about Rosco.

Funny, I don't seem to recall Max Fricke or Jason Crump have any problems when Mark worked for them? Mark did work for Harris, but the term, you can't polish a turd comes to mind on that gig! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which was obvious all along, otherwise why was there a deadline for submitting teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
