True

Don’t know how anyone else feels but imo if we had a Superstar like Nicki P then surely you’d announce him in a separate PR? All three in one go could mean that the final three aren’t anything to get excited about.

I can see a scenario that leads to it tbh. 1. Buster blocks a move for Holder 2. Nobody agrees to spanner for Tungate 3. Deal unable to be done with Nicki P Those three points would force us into going with Worrall and Andersen for starters, Then would it be too late to get a deal done with an EU rider when they've already locked in 2023 plans? Would potentially be forced into the British based market and the best two who are still available would be Batchelor (Buster issues) or Craig Cook.

If Tomalin is picking the riders then Chris Holder will be in the side because that's what Tomalin wants, But if Chris doesn't feature in our 1-7 then it tells us that Buster is still having the final say on matters and that he's put a stop to any deal for Holder due to the 2017 situation. The Holder situation will give us all the answers we need to know as to who's in charge and who's calling the shots behind the scenes.

Not his fault though, Michael will be exempt from any blame in my book if our 1-7 isn't competitive.

Agree, Very unlikely that we'll get one though imo. The longer this drags on, The worse it's going to get imo to a point where we could literally end up with anyone.

Agree.

Compromise team that should keep everyone happy enough 1. Nicki P (Have to pay the money for Nicki if Buster insists on being petty about the past when it comes to Holder) 2. Andersen 3. Basso 4. Tungate / R. Worrall (Tungate over Richie if somebody is willing to spanner for him, If not then we'll have to settle for Richie) 5. NKI 6. B. Cook 7. JJ (RS)

I wouldn't tbh.

100% considering he wants 6k a night. Need to take at least 40% off his asking price to even test the waters with British clubs imo.

Likely NKI going by Panthers social media posts when announcing him a couple of weeks ago. I'm not ruling out Nicki Pedersen though.

3 more weeks of February left, The clock is ticking. Buster in charge = No Holder

Another one bites the dust, Such a poorly run league that's a ticking time bomb at this rate. I've always flagged up the question about Swedish clubs spending money they don't have, Trying to run Ekstraliga level Speedway in Sweden is only going to end one way.

Same here with my team. I need to know what I'm paying for first.

Nicki Pedersen Chris Holder to Ipswich imo if our ownership situation doesn't get sorted this month.

Surely Hans won't be as bad in 2023 as he was in 2022? Riding the Plymouth circuit every week certainly didn't help matters imo.

Holder and Worrall really are 50/50 coin flips imo. Said it all winter that I cant see Holder riding for Peterborough if Buster is still the owner, I don't think Tomalin wants Worrall at all tbh, Richie to Panthers is the classic Buster Chapman move where he flip flops riders between KL and Peterborough after one year or after they've been sacked mid season. Safest rider at this moment in time is probably Hans Andersen but even he's not a lock imo.

It's defo down to Buster & Tomalin wanting different riders imo, Once we know who the owner is going to be then team building will finish at a rapid pace imo. Riders would've been signed by now if Buster & Tomalin both wanted the same 1-7 imo.

It’s understood that they want to have contracts for all three riders for the remaining places fully completed before releasing any further information.

Anybody else losing all hope / confidence now? We don't know who our owner is going to be. We still don't have a guaranteed future after this year (I can't see Tomalin buying the club until the clubs future is secure) We cant name a full 1-7 due to Buster/Tomalin possibly wanting a different 1-7, I think Buster doesn't want Chris Holder due to the 2017 KL situation and I think Tomalin doesn't want Richie Worrall as Richie strikes me as a Buster Chapman signing.

Would be, Michael has been a fan of the sport for many years now. He's certainly committed to the sport.

Book a flight to Amsterdam, You'll be spoilt for choice then

How likely is a sale at this point on a scale of 1-10? Taking into account that the club have already put out a press release 11 days ago regarding Tomalin stepping up by joining the backroom team and applying for a Promoters license? Tomalin did say the following in the press release which doesn't hint at Buster going anywhere yet imo (Obviously things may have changed since then) “I have a terrific relationship with Buster (Keith Chapman – club owner), Dale (Allitt) and Carl, and I’m sure we will work well as one team building a future for the Peterborough Panthers!

Tomalin -> I was never going to go against Tomalin's comments considering he's one of the people who's involved in team building. However he's made some very far fetched statements as of late when referring to club signings so it's worth noting, If NKI is world class and Jenkins is sensational then maybe he does believe that Hans Andersen has more left in the tank and stuff to a point where he could roll back the years again? Gasser -> We've had a lot of riders in and out from week to week (Every linked rider has been doing the Hokey Cokey at some point) but only one account has remained adamant on the same 1-7 all winter, Literally hasn't budget despite any new rumour that does the rounds before getting shot down with immediate effect. We've been heavily linked with 4 riders (Holder, Tungate, Worrall and Andersen) Everyone is in sync regarding Tungate being out due to nobody willing to spanner for him because of his personality so by the process of elimination it leaves Holder, Worrall and Andersen. Riders talk, Mechanics talk, Sponsors talk etc. so the chance of a surprise signing being kept under wraps that nobody knows about is minimal, Not even a big six Premier League football club can keep transfer dealings under wraps and out of the public eye so what chance has a British Speedway club got lol. Flappy -> Some people have doubted him and accused him of throwing Darts but I think he's telling the truth too, We're currently in the process of a takeover and I cant imagine for a second that Buster wants the same 1-7 as Tomalin (Chris Holder and potentially Richie Worrall), Buster went public with his opinion on Chris Holder attitude at KL in 2017 and he replaced him with Josh Auty which is a case of get him out by all means even if I cant get a bang average rider in as a replacement. My personal opinion -> I don't like it at all and I don't want it as I think it's worse than last years side but as it stands things are pointing towards Holder, Worrall and Andersen starting the season unless we can catch a lucky break in the next 5/6 weeks. I'm still hoping that somebody steps up to spanner for Tungate (A situation that's out of the clubs hands) or a couple of EU riders make themselves available at the eleventh hour.
