I think we need somebody else! He can control the effect of the weather at Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Jacobs 554 Posted March 3, 2023 14 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: Making the rules is not his job. This will still be on the Promoters. He will recommend ideas & be sole interpreter of said rules. No longer (as happens all to often) one promoter rings another on how they interpreted a rule. If it's not what they want to hear they'd ring another until they get the answer they wanted to hear. Then stake claim that it not just them that sees a certain situation as they do, and works it to their own benefit. With Phil Morris as sole interpretater it's his way only & matter of fact. The whole point is that the Regs should not require any interpretation. I think that many fans have got used to the make-do-and-mend / sticking plaster attitude of the BSPA, instead of the need for a major overhaul ... which doesn't mean that everything has to change, but a holistic view is required to ensure necessary changes don't impact existing stuff that does work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted March 4, 2023 The irony is that no one knew this job existed. No advert in the speedway star asking for applicants. Were there other candidates or was Phil picked by the BSPL. personally I think it’s a great appointment and hopefully he remains in charge for many years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No chance of Phil becoming a puppet, Im sure the promoters won’t interfere and will just let him get on with the job and be a success and then take the plaudits!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The acid test will be when he makes a decision that’s against one of the Directors clubs. I hope he got at least a 3 year contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Skid 425 Posted March 7, 2023 He can have complete control, until it affects any of the top Clubs, then his power will be zero, the cartel will not relinquish power to anyone outside their inner circle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit like Danny Ford's statement re Drew Kemp not getting a place though Paraphrasing he said "they" reduced the points limit to encourage the release of the top riders whilst "we" kept them and its the like of Drew that gets replaced by a 4 pointer I'd say that he is the "they" rather than the "we" but it still happened.......
