BB do you know if Jakobsen rumours leaving are correct and what the reason is?

I can only tell you this, from my chat with Alex as of late last night.

"So IF he has decided to go, I know absolutely nothing about it"

KL fans will have to turn up in numbers every week now and support a losing team otherwise Laguta will be off in no time at all.

 

Well I think Laguta leaving is a dead cert if Buster won’t fund Tungate at Pboro he ain’t going to pay for Laguta - guess the difference is Laguta is already at the club where as Tungate isn’t at Pboro time will tell . 
For whatever reasons Alex decided to quit the club and I’m sure they was very real reasons  he has left the club in somewhat turmoil and Buster is there as club owner to pick up the pieces does seem a bit harsh to just walk away and let  Buster sort  the mess out .

I'd imagine anyone running and funding Estate Agencies is in deep mess right now though, economy trashed, mortgage rates rising, cost of living crisis. Going to be a rocky few years for them. 

 

Then you imagine wrong. 

Our company is in a very good place right now, still selling property, letting property, commercial, agriculture and auctions. People are still spending money, particularly high end property. We have a lot more income streams than you probably imagine with Redbook / Survey's and Probate work from Solicitors, as well as managing estates around the country.

And any of the smaller agents, if they've put money aside during the Boom that we have just had, will ride it out if they manage it correctly. And for the work they do now, they'll put their fees up. 

Alex's company is very well known in our circles and his success with his partner Jamie is well documented. He must be the market leader I would have thought in Norfolk, or close to it. They also wont be the type of agent that "gives their service away for nothing". They'll command good fees for the work they do. 

So no, unlike British Speedway, we are not in a "deep mess right now". 

Cheers

Richard.

 From Alex  "and trust me when I say I’m leaving it healthy financially" The club.

From Buster “It’s a fact that we now have a team which is over budget, and we’ve absolutely got to get people in to support us to make it work out – plus I’d urge anyone interested in sponsoring us to please get in touch.

He didn't do it lightly. He has said he is heartbroken to have to do it, and that he has left the club financially healthy.

Buster basically saying that he can't afford Laguta without massive attendances and extra sponsorship. 

KL are a ticking time bomb now.

I guess Alex's financially healthy, isn't Busters. I can only say what i was told on this matter. But we know Buster likes a budget.

I was going to put a laughing reaction to this but I think this season has taught us that you really can't rule anything out.

Gaining more and more strength with each press release. , those laughing reactions just might be right back at ya

Think it’s get this season over and done with and regroup in the winter other than finishing ahead of Pboro in the league other than pride little to race for sadly .

Sounds like the groundwork is being laid by Buster to field an even worse team for the rest of the season.....he's appealing for people to turn up and support but that ain't going to happen with no Laguta. And it'll have a knock on effect at away tracks too. Would rather the club packed up for the year and came back in 2024 at a lower level.

I think you are correct the foundations are being laid for a worse team think that’s obvious- it’s not that simple just packing up for the season wouldn’t the club lose it bond money and probably the licence . 
Won’t be long before the use it or lose it cry goes out - this now also has a knock on effect to Pboro as well Buster responsible financially for both clubs .

As for 2024 got get through this season first .

What an absolute mess! Brady has clearly bitten off more than he can chew and bailed out. Anyone who thinks otherwise must be mental.

Both Lynn and Peterborough in an absolute mess. Has British Speedway ever been in such a mess? Certainly not in my life time.
