Perhaps he feels he needs a change?

Anyway you won't fit him in once you've signed Lambert, Bewley & Fricke.....

Won’t sign all them. We ain’t that rich

No idea how the team will line up but we can guess. I expect Dan Thomson at reserve next season in the prem. He would be a useful weapon at home and has improved this season. Just needs more experience. Not sure if Connor Mountain would stay again, he's an asset but not sure Dan n Connor would be strong enough at reserve next year. Definitely could see Richie Worral staying, he loves Leicesters track and would be an ideal number 2. Not sure if Nick Morris would come as he's been at Wolves and seems to do well there. Richard Lawson is a great shout. Josh Pickering would be decent too. Scott Nicholls would be a welcomed with open arms as well. But we really need a few big names to make this work . It's a huge gamble to move away from Saturday nights which proved successful on/off the track. So the team has to be good to keep the locals happy.

Is Bates one of the directors on the board? I think the connection implied was if BV let Leicester have Brady next season then they will reverse their decision. Bit of a clutching at straws suggestion mind you!

Although if Poole own Brady then between Poole, Brady and Leicester anyway! 

As you said Belle Vue don't own Brady so Leicester have to speak to Poole, although a rider will go where he wants so don't really need permission from any club.  As for Lambert bates had no choice to in the matter, the lawyers saw to that.  Also just to add surely there should be a rule that you can't own or be on the board of 2 clubs in the same division.

I know that but still need to sort out a loan fee with Poole is all I meant. Also BV don't really have any say if he goes to Leicester. Personally think he is trying to cut down on weekly travelling as still staying at Middlo's. 

He normally just flies in Manchester from Poland  and straight to stadium then onto Sweden day after wont be be travelling up from Poole  to Manchester lol if b/vue want him to stay he will he loves the place the rider will always have a say where they want to ride

Can't see Harris at Leicester unfortunately. Everyone loves him apart from the track

Is his Polish team not top league then? Still have to talk to Poole about loan fee. Sounds like Brady has decided he is off to the Midlands, whoever decision it is!

Apart from Thompson (Dan?) and Vaculik all the riders named are already connected with other Prem clubs. In which case why limit the possible team line up to those riders... Lions could have the choice of just about any rider bar a few already "contracted".

For what it's worth, as Connor Mountain is a Lions asset it's a fair bet he will have one of the reserve berths with the other one filled by Dan Thompson (if he is to make the grade he needs to step up next year) thus leaving a fair few points for some decent main body riders to be enticed to join the Lions

I’d probably have Nichols over Harris, although Leicester is better for passing he can still trap whereas Harris can’t.

Max Clegg in a reserve berth? Seems to be going nicely around the track in last few meetings and always put the effort in.
