As good a rider as he is, who would seriously want to sign a rider that didn’t really want to be here and was effectively forced to? Glad this nonsense has been put to bed. He’ll come back if he wants to. That would never happen - would it? “It would be thrown out of court in 2 seconds for human rights/modern slavery.” Mr D. Bewley 2026 “my actual plan was to not race in Britain at all and go with the schedule of just racing once a week in Poland and the GPs. I kind of wanted a very limited schedule. I felt like it would be better for me not to race too much next year and take it a bit easy. Mr D. Bewley 2026 Jacques Villeneuve. After winning the 1997 F1 title with Williams, Villeneuve shocked the paddock by joining the brand-new, unproven British American Racing (BAR) team in 1999. While framed as a new challenge, the move was widely reported as a massive payday orchestrated by his manager Craig Pollock, netting Villeneuve one of the highest salaries in F1 despite the car failing to score a single point all season. Benoît Assou-Ekotto. During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, the Cameroonian defender famously told reporters that football was strictly a job to him. He stated he had no passion for the sport and played entirely for the money. [1] “Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" Mr J. Rotten 1978.

mikebv Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago It wouldn't be any surprise if Dan got "an offer he couldn't refuse" from Ipswich, which was so good it changed his mind about riding over here.. With the added bonus of riding at a GP track, (which will be brand new to many of his challengers for the World Title)... Basically. "A Self employed person decides to take up a good offer of a contract", and nothing more than that.. Poland offer up two year contracts knowing what the landscape will be two years in advance, and know that, regardless of success, they won't be penalised team building wise.. The UK don't know from one season to the next what the landscape will look like, and, regardless of zero success, you can stilll be penalised team building wise.. Don't hate the player, hate the game... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing things just for the money always seems loveless. That’s a two way street at Ipswich and we can all look forward to the Ipswich 2028 thread whilst topping up our tans next summer, as they run their riders through the mill and decide on the sackings - sorry not offering a new contract to the free agents.

Dan is not all about money, heard a tail that during the summer was talks of a TV deal with clubs getting 150-200k 😲 and a northern club not many miles from Dan's home, was interested in going up and Dan said he would race for them at whatever they could afford, but that TV deal disappeared if it ever existed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
