Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

He is OFFICIALLY RELEASED.

Sacked or quit rider's have to remain in a line-up until replacements are found but they're OFFICIALLY RELEASED from contract. None contracted CANNOT guest. Every team has to have a 1-7 even if the rider is none-contracted.

 

Which is utterly ridiculous  - he is either declared or released - it cannot be both

How can it possibly be right to confirm a contract as cancelled but then have any control over a new contract being agreed without any financial consideration provided to retain that condition

That would be when Sheffield used guests from within the British league ?

Unlike the previous year when Belle Vue brought a rider in from Poland for the play offs.

Said rider wasnt guesting though, he was actually signed. 

Which is what everyone wants isn't it? Not sure how people are justifying that a guest is a better option than a team actually signing a rider.

Because it was after the specified cut off date for new signings.

Of course it's right. It's also been the rule for decades. It's only now an agitation because it effects your clubs plans.

Secondly, it was Musielak's choice to walk away, why should King's Lynn make it easy for him & Ipswich / Sheffield.

Right, ridiculous or illogical - it just highlights how badly worded some of the regulations/rules are.

How can you declare a rider in your team who is not contracted to ride for you? That’s the same as the mighty ITFC declaring Ronaldo in their squad and hoping that he might be kind enough to turn up for the odd match.

I mean speedway clubs can seemingly sack a rider at the drop of a hat so common sense would suggest contractually there isn’t a notice period in either direction as it can’t be one rule one way and not the other

as such if a rider decided he wanted to leave his employer and take up another more appealing job elsewhere what’s the problem? The scb puts a 28 day withholding services ban on a rider and then surely they should be able to sign wherever they want no?

if a team drops a rider the scb doesn’t then make the club who have dropped him pay start money for 28 days do they? No protection for riders being sacked but also if you decide you want to leave and ride somewhere else sorry mate we’re gonna block you from that.

Hypothetically, what should King's Lynn do if Musielak signs for Ipswich / Sheffield? Sign a 3 pointer?

With no replacement, what regulation should King's Lynn work to for guests?

:lol: 

So tapping up should just be accepted?

Maybe Sheffield should figure out how to get Sayfutdinov in for Woffinden seeing as stealing rider's is the way forward :lol:

The bigger question is WHY has musielak and tarasenko walked out on you. 
Bomber agreed terms with you and then choose Oxford. Even someone like Richard Lawson who was hugely successful for you didn’t return.  
why can’t you retain riders ? Musielak has ridden for wolves Swindon and Sheffield with an unblemished record and is popular with fans and management alike. 
there are always three sides to every story with the truth in the middle. I’ve only heard one side and if that’s true what I’ve heard I’m not surprised he hasn’t returned.

Musielak no longer has a contract with Kings Lynn and the 28 days has passed. They can sign who they want up to the points limit they have available.

If they choose not to sign a new rider and wish to use guests then they continue with the 75% figure they have to use under the regulations as they stand.

As I've said before, we know why rider's leave King's Lynn. Lyon works his socks off to try and keep peace but their are 2 proper clowns at this club.

At the same time, this sport can't allow tapping up and allow rider's to just leave and move elsewhere at the drop of a hat.

This sport is struggling enough, that would just make it an even more so, absolute farce.

What 75% figure?

TBF there was no tapping up involved. Ipswich have nothing to do with Musielak not returning to King’s Lynn. They’ve simply enquired as to his availability once it was known he wasn’t returning to Lynn. Whether you believe it or not is up to you of course.

Now that the 28 days has elapsed, any guest for Musielak can only have an average that is not in excess of 75% of Musielak’s. Hence, KL can only use a guest whose average is 6.16 or lower.

So, we're to accept that one week he's coming back, then a week later he's not returning to British Speedway because of injury but a call from Ipswich / Sheffield he's all of a sudden fit enough :lol:

I suppose it's all coincidence of course :lol:

Musielak wouldn't be in the team though, so I think King's Lynn should have 75% of 12.00.

I took that from Bald Bloke’s post on the KL/Ipswich thread.

You may be correct but if you are, why would you use Kerr as a guest when you could use a guest with an average up to 9.00?

Too be honest I cannot believe Rob Lyon don’t walk away full stop as it’s damaging his character working with the other 2 monkeys.

Currently it's 6.16 but if Ipswich / Sheffield was allowed to sign Musielak, what numbers would King's Lynn be working from?
