Looks like Kelvin will continue to gave some association with the club though, which is a good thing. The new TM sounds like someone with experience of the job, but there are plenty of those that won't fit. Hope it's not someone like Jim Lynch or Rob Lyon. John Sampford was hanging round the pits a lot last season. Nice bloke but I don't know if he has the personality for TM. What's Trevor Geer doing these days ? Not my ideal personality but he is on the ball. After Kelvin, it's going to be hard to find anyone with the same sort of Ooomph, but can only wait and see.

liam Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know he’s not experienced as a team manager but what about Paul Hurry? All seems ok on the team front aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 John Sampford would do a very solid job. Jason Pipe has left Buxton so you never know??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 With the old traditional tactical subs returning you will really want someone who has their eye on the ball, and possibly used to working with that system, under the tactical rides system, anyone could have been a manager and I mean anyone! just pick a rider for double points once a meeting if that, with the original system of tactical subs a manager must also be extremely good at man management because now your going to be telling certain riders again to "sit this next one out". Jim Lynch would be a good choice, always had time for him, he comes across as very genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The same Jim Lynch who messed up the tactical situation costing Leicester an away win last season? He is a nice man, but perhaps not as on the ball as we would need our TM to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Whoever it is, here's hoping that they can actually be bothered to turn up at all away meetings......particularly if we get through to the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice Of Reason Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'll possibly go to away meetings now that the level of speedway has improved. Clearly you thought it was right to chuck the community manager into the team manager role at Belle Vue (arguably Lakeside's most important meeting of the season)?

Trevor geer had a nasty accident down at Arlington stadium a couple of years ago. His involvement with speedway has been very limited since the incident.

waco Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Mark Sexton stood in last season and could be favourite if he wants it, ?Especially if Kelvin is still there with input..John Sampford has no favourites and makes the hard decisions for the team benefit only,,,may lack a little rider motivation..but knows the rule book backwards and is totally committed to the job Edited December 23, 2017 by waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Congratulations to Jon Cooke on assembling a very very good side, baring any injuries a Play off team for sure, and with there massive home track advantage they can beat any team on aggregate, the only downside is if the rumours I’ve heard are true it’s there new team manager, who has only ever Managed in the NL, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 A young enthusiastic manager with experience whats wrong with that,,Will is ideal and knows several of the team from his time with Cradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Will Pottinger is your new team manager! You wanted someone tactically astute and I think you’ve found one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniev123 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) If Will clicks he should give you a great ride. Check what he did with NL Cradley over 8 years and what some of his ex riders are up to now. Great guy to boot. You can't keep him to yourselves tho' as we Midland 'Ommers need him too in the Trophy!
