Bagpuss Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 And no doubt Noddy had spoken to Darcy about riding for Poole while he was with Lynn in the PL long before Ford put his offer on the table. It's how it all works nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfromcov Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 just wondered what any of this has to do with Poole? he is a workington asset so as long as they are happy who cares what Poole think? Perhaps dropping him in favour of yet another foreign ringer has something to do with it? its not unreasonable to want to ride for a club that supports British talent rather than chuck it away? its fairly obvious too that Middleditch resigned as team GB manager because Poole would have voted against the two brits at reserve, even he couldnt face that one down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbee Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I would have thought Cov would be dealing with Workington for the loan of Kyle as they purchased him from Poole nothing to do with Poole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 No sour Grapes down here mate, just facts... But is it not fact that Howarth was sold to another club. That other club agreed the deal with Coventry? If that is the fact, I don't see why Poole are crying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the fact, I don't see why Poole are crying? As we all know they do not like it up them in anyway shape or form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfromcov Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 POOLE promoter Matt Ford has vowed to move on with building a team to defend the Elite League title following Kyle Howarth’s surprise exit from the club.Howarth has joined Workington on a full transfer, albeit with a buy-back option clause included, and will double-up with Coventry – but Ford is unhappy the reasons for Howarth’s transfer request cited the travelling distance to Poole.Ford said: “The geographical position of Poole is nothing I have any influence over and when we have such tight points limits to work within I can only afford to have riders in my team who are fully committed to riding for the club. “I am fully committed to putting a side together which I believe is capable of successfully defending the league title and will now move forward from this episode with that goal in mind.” someone has winded his neck in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Can't understand what all the fuss is about? Would have liked to see Kyle in the team but if he won't ride then hey oh move on and sign another one. It's not like it doesn't happen somewhere every year.

Sir Jasper Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Confirmation that we have built a decent top 5 with the news Ford has complained us. Its been a quiet couple of years for us as Poole have not had any need to worry about us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 just wondered what any of this has to do with Poole? he is a workington asset so as long as they are happy who cares what Poole think? Saw this rumour surfacing the weekend so not all that surprised it has been confirmed. Coventry have done things the right way, it is nothing to do with Poole anymore. POOLE promoter Matt Ford has vowed to move on with building a team to defend the Elite League title following Kyle Howarth’s surprise exit from the club.[/size] Howarth has joined Workington on a full transfer, albeit with a buy-back option clause included, and will double-up with Coventry – but Ford is unhappy the reasons for Howarth’s transfer request cited the travelling distance to Poole.[/size] Ford said: “The geographical position of Poole is nothing I have any influence over and when we have such tight points limits to work within I can only afford to have riders in my team who are fully committed to riding for the club. [/size] “I am fully committed to putting a side together which I believe is capable of successfully defending the league title and will now move forward from this episode with that goal in mind.”[/size] someone has winded his neck in! Typical of Poole. Sell an asset then put in a buy back clause so they can mess around any deal Kyle wants to do in the future. Think Kyle cutting his ties with Poole is the best thing for the lads future. Let`s face it they have hardly helped his career so far and the former England manager has done diddly squat to help either. Coventry do look to be assembling an attractive side so far with potential the key word so far. Fair play to them, tho i must admit i did prefer them propping the table up this year ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Coventry putting a great team together, the only cringe is the relationship between team manager and number one rider. If Garrity goes there and BV get Kerr, then could be some good battles next year. Don't think either of us will be in the bottom half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Nothing to worry about. We all know the only way Coventry can get close to Poole is to tap up their riders and offer double the points money. Let's be honest. Looking at the Coventry top five there are two words that come to mind. Also dans. As usual. Illegal approaches is the only way they think they have a chance but in truth they are miles behind Poole in every department. Let them have their five minutes as that's about all they will get. If it had been Poole who had made an approach like this it would run to fifty pages. As it's not it's all Ok then. Howarth has made a huge blunder by chasing the money over how he would do in the long term. Good luck to him though as he looks up to see Pirates at the top as usual. Off for a beer at Epcot. Cheers!
