Chapman apparently toldhim he was no longer a heat leader in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted January 20, 2019 I do not believe the situation was brought about by Harris. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is true it means Chapman was involved in Panthers team building from the start - therefore would have been involved in (or at least had knowledge of) the deal offered to Harris. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably more to do with the fact Bjerre wasn't willing to risk the wage drop if Buster ran the club with Belle Vue offering a guaranteed income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve found CL very approachable on social media, and I can honestly say he’s replied to my questions on each and every occasion I’ve asked one on Twitter in the past. This winter though, despite my efforts, he hasn’t replied to a single one. This is despite him still active on there on other matters.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last line of the club website says they will make no further comment at this stage which means Ged has been silenced by the Fuhrer, and when he says 5hit Ged can jump on the shovel.

This whole saga looks like it's been organised and scripted by one person ... Just like the press releases from both Ipswich and Peterborough when he’d taken over both clubs. Think we know the game now. It’s sh!t, but we know the game. Going to be very interesting to see what the crowd levels are at the start, and throughout next season at both clubs Has all the makings of being disastrous this. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this isnt true as goodness knows whats next to come. I hope it's not true as well. When the Panthers team was put together, I thought it was very strong, still do, but also looked very expensive. I couldn't see anyone paying out that sort of money on a team coming up, with speedway they way it is at the moment in the UK. I don't know whats going on, but I does look very unprofessional Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloody need to be this time I think! Oh Yes You Do! And even more than you would like to believe you do need to be. Just imagine if Buster won the Big Euromillions lottery and bought the blooming lot ( well the PL anyway ) he could pee off 97 1/2 % of the fans in that league. There are some at King's Lynn who do swear by ( not swear at ) the man and his methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolPanther 79 Posted January 20, 2019 I remember visiting Lynn when buster was celebrating some sort of anniversary, he went round on a tractor or similar, to rapturous applause and flag waving from the crowd. Have things changed or is he still received like that? 10 minutes ago, waytogo28 said: Oh Yes You Do! And even more than you would like to believe you do need to be.

Now though I really feel for you all ( can't believe I'm saying that tbh) having your Hope's dashed after the feel good factor of you "knowing" your team. You have to wonder if our problem's signing and announcing our last 2 riders is similar. Change the last word of your last sentence in the post from similar to connected and you have your answer - don’t believe for one minute it’s finance related or Chris Harris is to blame! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
