TTT

I'm not ruling Andersen out of the team managers job for two reasons. 1. Tomalin talking about a title challenge again in the press release again on Friday so why would he do that if the team was going to be 2. something under the limit knowing full well we'd get bashed up every week? 2. Buster, Carl, Dale etc. all got a mention from Tomalin in the statement the other day but Rob Lyon didn't, Is that just a coincidence? The only 1-7 involving Hans Andersen that makes sense is this one. (0.85 left) 1. Nicki P 8.61 2. Andersen 4.93 3. Basso 6.81 4. Worrall 6.15 5. NKI 7.59 6. B. Cook 4.06 7. Jenkins (RS)

Also in his final years so it's a case of getting every last penny out of the sport while he still can.

Nicki Pedersen is a strong possibility now that Holder has left imo. Opinion -> Chris Holder was never going to ride in the same team as Nicki P just like he was never going to ride for Buster again.

Is the Tungate deal off due to financial demands from the rider? You can understand the reasoning behind the Holder deal being off because that's been obvious since Day 1

Richie Worrall really isn't a bad signing when you consider 25% of our league fixtures are to Ipswich, Leicester and Wolves. Considering British weather rarely pays ball Richie will also be effective on a slick track when you take his gating ability into consideration.

Me neither, I'm down for Hans to become team manager or assistant team manager under Rob Lyon, Just don't want him as a rider tbh. Kenny Bjerre is my first choice as well because he knows the track, Nicki Pedersen is my second choice and I would buy a season ticket just to watch him tbh.

It's a very long shot like 20/1 but does anyone think Hans Andersen could be the team manager rather than a rider? I thought it was interesting that Rob Lyon didn't get a mention in yesterday's press release when everyone else on the management side of things did.

That's a no brainer then. Pedersen NKI Basso Worrall Andersen Cook Jenkins

The question is how much money is Tomalin putting in? Because Buster won't go down the expensive root considering he's already tried to exit the sport this winter. If we've got the money then Dudek is the obvious root for 6k a meeting, Pay Rasmus his 20k set up fee then he might do a U-Turn, Kenneth Bjerre can do 4 leagues now so maybe it's worth tempting him with a big money offer.

6.5

I've got no idea how Andersen has managed to get a gig at Peterborough again, I wish a spokesperson for the club would put out a press release explaining their logic behind the decision because I don't get it?

It's a good side apart from Andersen. We're just one rider short from challenging if that's the 1-7 imo.

That's the last bit of hope that I'm currently clinging onto tbh. I'm just hoping that Tomalin is funding a big move to get us out of the brown stuff.

I really do hope so because Buster just needs leave the past in the past at this point.

9.46 left for one rider I make it after Richie's discount. NKI 7.59 Basso 6.81 R. Worrall 6.15 Andersen 4.93 B. Cook 4.06 Jenkins (RS)

It's going to be 2022 all over again unless Tomalin wants to fund a move for someone like Dudek for 6k a night.

I don't like it either mate, I'm as frustrated as everyone else. I just think we've chucked the towel in now if it's true about us losing Tungate as well because if we're desperate then we should be paying out whatever the rider wants. What 1-7 are you going with?

Worrall gets a discount. Could be a case of nobody being available though.

Well I'm going with Ostergaard as the final rider because why not? Not like our team is going to be competitive anyway.

NKI, Andersen & Worrall

Going by the press release you'd assume it's the following -> NKI, Holder, Worrall & Andersen (Experienced) Basso, Cook & Jenkins (Young racers) I just cant see Holder being at Peterborough now though.

We've just got to hope that Tomalin has managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat with his finances tbh.

Experienced could also be a polite way of describing riders who are passed it though. Think we're using the Young sensational racers line to describe Ben Cook, Ben Basso & Jenkins tbh.

I'm good, That was obvious weeks ago imo. Long shot but Tomalin might have pulled a rabbit out of the hat if he's still talking about winning trophies. We're not Arsenal lol.

So what's everybody's final prediction for our 1-7 then? 15.61 left for the final two riders after the obvious duo of NKI & Andersen. Have we managed to save our bacon by pulling off a move for Nicki Pedersen, Ramus Jensen or Kenneth Bjerre? Or will it be the very likely route involving riders like Worrall, Tungate, Craig Cook etc.
