TTT

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.

Riss is much better than Tungate around Ipswich though so that would make them weaker imo.

Seeing as my first conspiracy was correct I'm going for another one having thought about it in the last few minutes. Ulrich Ostergaard will do a U-Turn and will ride for the Panthers in 2023.

Sticking with what I said yesterday and I'd be shocked if I'm wrong. Holder & Hume to Ipswich. NKI, Andersen, Tungate, Worrall, Basso, Cook & JJ to Panthers.

Told you, It's been obvious for a while imo.

Forgone conclusion then if he's not the owner. PP - NKI, Andersen, Tungate, Worrall, Basso, Cook & JJ IPS - Doyle, Rew, King, Riss, Holder, Hume & Thomas

Take it he's not going to be the owner now then.

Agree, I don't think it was supposed to come to this though. I think the takeover was going to be completed in November but something went wrong hence the reason why the planned radio announcement was cancelled at the last minute. Ipswich probably chased shadows (Emil) thinking they could get one over on Poland before giving up the ghost. Then it's all led to this situation between the two clubs making verbal agreements with the same riders where neither club can make a move until they know what the other club is doing for certain. Riders caught up in it while the fans are left frustrated with a lack of news, Like you said really messy.

Can see why Ipswich aren't realising Tungate to Panthers now because if Tomalin completes the takeover and wrapped up deals for both Holder & Worrall as well then Ipswich would be left with none of them. All of that would make Hans Andersen a lock for Peterborough in 2023 no matter who's in charge, Assuming NKI is also a lock too unless Nicki P has a verbal agreement that no ITK knows about. If Tomalin completes the takeover then we'd only be getting one of Tungate or Worrall as Ipswich would need to use the other one considering Holder would be a Panther.
