Bollocks, its nepotism!!! I feel really sorry for Bukhave, he has come in and done a pretty decent job and yet he gets the boot and Phillips stays, don't understand it personally. Yes people will say with Clegg dropping to reserve, it could make us stronger but they have still not dealt with the real issue in that the team are having to carry Phillips week after week.

Why bring in Bukhave to replace Lambert if you were just gonna sack him a few weeks later. Week after week Phillips under performs home and away but that seems to be OK and nothing is done. We will get the same old, no one is around that is better than him, Connor Coles is and was better than him in my opinion. I was never Bukhave's biggest fan and questioned his signing, but I feel really sorry for the lad, he has come in, ridden his heart out and then appears to have been told to do one. I've been a Diamonds fan for a bloody long time now and I really think this will be my last year. Good Luck Jacob in wherever you end up and welcome Ulrich, I'm sure you'll do a gr8 job.

Pinny Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 With the reported crowds in the UK these days along with rider wages , its a wonder any club bothers anymore . So its no surprise the cheaper option was to replace a poor foreign reserve rather than replace an even poorer British reserve . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, Jacob was on a 28-day contract. Secondly, they had no idea who (if anybody) was going to become available further down the line, so brought him in to replace a rider who can't the track (as was pretty much proved on Sunday). Thirdly, how do you know that they haven't tried to bring in someone to replace Danny (I'm not saying they have or haven't as I don't know myself) and haven't been able to persuade them to come to Newcastle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with everything you have said. Promoters ( ?????) want people to come to watch but they persevere with Phillips who should never have been signed 2 or 3 years ago.

Joke, absolute!!! Exactly. But unfortunately Bukhave on a higher average and the change to bring in Ostergaard I don't think would have fit with Bukhave's average. Not 100% sure about this though.

They could only replace Danny (keeping Jacob) with a rider of 4.03 or below. Ulrich comes in on a 5.66. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hard to keep up with all the movements these days, seems a case of now you see him now you dont. With any team change the whole point is to make your team stronger which this does especially getting Max Clegg back down to reserve where he was a decent scorer.
