Who would you like to see then, Had?

 

Rather than scoffing all the time, perhaps you could enlighten us with who your thoughts on the team for 2014. We've got Harris and Hansen, are you happy with that?

Ha Ha, Jacques my little Rosebud getting the hump are we.. :lol:

Even speculating on team members is fairly pointless given the state of flux the league is in at the moment. Having said that I approve of the Harris signing (should fit in any team permutation - where depends on strength of league). Yes Hansen did look good at Brandonapolis (tho track was v.grippy after the right amount of rain) and bikes were fast. Also if the points limit comes down to 38 riders like that will be like gold dust. But I take issue with Meatloaf when he said two out of three aint bad. Havelock being retained as team manager is unfathomable. We were probably the worst Bees team away from Home since 1975. If Horton thinks he did an acceptable job, then that suggests Horton did a bad job putting the team together in the first place! Also we clearly need a number one that has a higher average than Harris or Nicholls. We need to sign someone with potential after missing out on Bech/Mickelsen/Lebedev/Rosen/Porsing and Cook and Worral. Milik is the obvious one.

the figure i have heard for hansen is 5.83

we are looking at most 38 maybe 36 for team building...

which is why i'm surprised that the bees signed Hansen so quick , not knocking the bloke fantastic to watch in full flow and a nice bloke to boot but he's on a in the middle of nowhere average still has to prove he's good enough as a heatleader ,a average whats a bit steep for a 2nd string esp if the limits 36 ,but I guess unless somebody gives him a chance we'll not know

I have been told Horton is trying to get Hansens GSA reassessed, but on the basis of what he scored at the end of the season it doesn't sound promising.

This is the type of situation that gives me reservations about my Witches potentially moving back to the EL.

 

Why would Hansen be reassessed? This type of attempted manipulation is exactly what many of the problems/arguments have arisen in recent years.

 

If these games are still to be part of it then Id rather we stay put in the PL.

Disgusting. And hope that is thrown out as quickly as it is suggested.

There is no reason whatsoever to even consider having Hansen`s GSA looked at or altered.

Unless of course it is increased because his average was gained when the league was more competitive and has been watered down year on year :wink:

why?

 

Because it makes sense? :wink: (Thank goodness the smilies are back again!)

Olly Allen is always getting injured, Summers is rubbish away from Brandon and sometimes there as well. The only one I would query would be Robbo as I like him but what's the point of sticking with riders who contributed to the Bees disastrous season? Need some new faces.

Riders quite often get re assessed if they don't ride here for a while don't they? I'd be happy with Hansen on 5.8 and Horton must be otherwise it wouldn't be announced so early.

Re assessments happen in the PL too although not to often.

Seems Horton wants to have his cake and eat it, after trying to dictate where assets who are not riding for Coventry can and can't ride.

Didn't he have a rant on the subject after the Barker episode ?.

wouldnt you if you sold some one some thing and they used it for sixe months and then said they didn't want it.All he said was he would not deal with Birmingham again even the Birmingham owner that did the deal was not happy about what happened
