And to be brutally honest, he's probably looking at where the sport sits and thinking, "do i really want to get involved with that again?" Does sometimes feel like "don't worry about it, these mugs will come whatever we serve up". Out of interest,  as someone who no longer reads the speedway star, how are they reporting on this?  Are they being critical or are they just pretending everything is ok like they did with the Coventry and Peterborough fiasco in 2011?

I don't understand your problem.   Ipswich Speedway Promotions Ltd is the company that holds the promotion rights to Ipswich Witches.  Chris Louis is the sole shareholder.    Chris Louis didn't want to continue, so his options were to pull out altogether (and have a near enough worthless company) or sell the company's main asset (the licence) to someone else.  He chose the latter, and agreed to sell the club. Businesses change hands all the time.  I might win the Euromillions this week and offer Buster a million quid for King's Lynn.  I buy the club and its licence, and things carry on, just with a new owner.    

So ISPL "made a commitment" to run, even though its proprietor had apparently said previously that he was walking away from involvement in the sport with immediate effect? And BSPL incorporated that "commitment" into their statement that a minimum 5 team league would happen? Really?

Apologies... Thought you were comparing this years potential Ipswich to last years Lions... Ipswich and Leicester, this year,could be of a similar level.... Who cares? Will be the sports biggest challenge.  

But Leicester now dont have fricke. I'm comparing the rumoured '26 ipswich team to the confirmed 26 Leicester team with dougy at 1

It looks like a very competitive Championship this year.Oxford look the best on paper to me.The rest could be anywhere in the League although Scunny will need some changes.Monarchs and Workington (Cook dependant) look the dark horses.Should see some shocks .IMO
