You make it sound like Birmingham had a choice. If there was a rider of MJJ's quality that wanted to sign a contract for the whole season, Birmingham would have done it. They had to settle for MJJ on a two month contract, because nobody else wants to ride in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced the signing on the 16th of January, hardly a last minute signing, it was an open secret that he was only here for 2 months, yet they signed him anyway... not the first time they've done this. Although it's sad to lose another track, I can't say the promotion will be missed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on👍.All I/we wanted was honesty about the whole situation,but as I said in an earlier post that the silence was deafening.😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Think it's clear as day what the plan was. Sign MJJ on a short term contract to shift some season tickets and then cut costs early in the season once the punters have been reeled in. The 1-7 was way too expensive for a club that went public with financial issues, Musielak, Zagar and a ridiculous contract for Rew that made him jump at the chance of winning a wooden spoon. My money's on Troy Batchelor being the replacement for MJJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
