Or is it something to do with the relationship between Chris Louis and Tungate? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtf 621 Posted March 21, 2019 Haha, I believe the saying is...….. Don't believe everything you read in the papers. I think there is some reverse engineering going on 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted March 21, 2019 If Chris Harris is that expensive wont it cause possible trouble within the Ipswich ranks now they are fully aware of his earnings situation Carl Johnson has gone from knocking the whole thing on the head to extra input in most matters feet under the table? Was Chris Harris just seen as the weakest heat leader at Peterborough so he had to move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there is some reverse engineering going on Spot on , it's just a cover up for the truth , part of the deal is Rathbone and Watson must remain tight lipped and not tell the real truth and Chapman now thinks everything in the garden is rosy , I for one don't believe that there is a great deal of difference between the Harris and Tungate potential earnings this move was more for the benefit to suit Ipswich who had a problem finding a suitable NO;1. Sorry Buster Chapman I don't buy your bull 5hit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go figure There’s every chance Ipswich had money left in their budget and Harris deal was re-negiogated so he is on far less at Ipswich then he was at Peterborough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted March 21, 2019 I’m not disputing budgets. More if Buster deemed Harris over priced ( compared to say Tungate) then it suggests he would be over priced at another of his Promotions ( Ipswich). Buster is not one with a reputation of over paying for anyone/thing. So it might be suggested that either Harris revised his needs to get a team place or Ipswich couldn’t find a 7 point ( come the season end) on sensible money 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once he realised what sort of deal he had bagged himself, I can't believe he ended up getting the same at Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he has actually ended up with a deal that means he is paid per point so will have to put some effort into his racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 21, 2019 3 riders at Peterborough were offered no1 money (Harris , Andersen and Cook) by Ged. At no time did Buster agree to this which led to Peterborough being over budget. Ipswich had room left in their budget for a rider on No1 money. Maybe all 3 were asked to move and Harris agreed to as he would be on same deal. The other 2 took a possible decrease to allow Tungate (who would never be at Ipswich for various reasons) to sign...... Maybe Allegedly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Allegedly Don't people see that there was a six week gap between Harris signing for Peterborough before the decision was made to axe him being just a little bit suspicious and losing Ged through this has also cost them the main team sponsor as well who had already pledged to a continuation for 2019. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Maybe they were offered a bit more as the team sponsor at the time was willing/looking to assist to get riders signed up, then Buster didnt like it so put his foot down and by upsetting Ged he had upset the team sponsor as well, Ged left and the team sponsor followed so the team became over budget due to the loss of the extra cash Maybe Just Maybe Maybe Andersen and Cook didnt want to go to Ipswich but wanted to ride at Peterborough Edited March 21, 2019 by scoobydoo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted March 21, 2019 Said weeks ago that the extra money was most likely sponsor money added to the budget, after all the team sponsor was to pay for the extra assets last year that didn't in the end happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proud panther 1,505 Posted March 21, 2019 After all the hassle with Jack Holder, Torun & Buster interfering, plus Busters own agenda with Chris Holder, is anybody really surprised that Ged don't want to work with him ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
