AlexBrady Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Crazy! Any ideas on what Harris would’ve been earning? Presume he must be Ipswich bound now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't afford Nicholls how will they be able to afford Harris , as Peterborough and Ipswich are both under Buster now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Err, let's remind ourselves of what Ged said on 10th December: Buster (Keith Chapman) has let us get on with what we want to do - we’ve been given a very realistic budget to build a team, and he’s trusted us to get on with it.“Team-building has all been done by the management team so we’ve carried on in exactly the same way that we have done previously, very much in the Peterborough mould. We want to compete and we want to win.“We haven’t paid silly money for riders or offered them silly contracts. We’ve got riders who want to ride for Peterborough Speedway because of the ethos we have at the club.” Edited January 18, 2019 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 The missing info in the press release is who are the new owners, much more important than news of a released rider IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Looking more like Harris has been released due to the average reduction mess up, the statement doesn't say if Ged is still involved or not more to come i fear.

I think they have been too diplomatic with the real reasons behind the statement, unforeseen circumstances is not just about the earnings of Chris Harris . Telling supporters the truth and the real reasons behind this is how you get supporters on side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Peterborough were looking like the team to beat and really sorry to read that they have released Harris. I wonder who they will bring in to replace him that is cheaper than him on a similar average? Nicholls to Peterborough and Harris to Ipswich? Or is that two (heat leader) Brits on the sidelines when the season starts? Edited January 18, 2019 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 What a piss take for all parties! 1. The rider - Chris was signed and probably had offers elsewhere but chose Ged and the Panthers. 2. The Club - what a shambles, a winter of positives for the first time in years now ruined. Why sign the rider? 3. The replacement - will know he’s the cheap option 4: The replacement 2 - will know panthers are desperate and could hold the club to ransom Wonder how many fans who have brought season tickets will be questioning that now! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 must be Buster throwing his weight around. Not happy that Peterborough have put such a good team together so decides Harris has to go....if buster tries to sign him for lynn I hope Harris tells him where to stick it the offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a stupid thing for Harris to do - given the only places left are all Buster's clubs! I'm sure he would rather be riding and earning than watching - assuming the terms are right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone looking for a brand new Panthers Race Suit in Chris Harris' size............. This could only happen in G.B. Speedway, still looking for that LOYALTY & CREDIBILITY!

Star Lady Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 First thoughts are that Harris wage demands must be higher than Cook and Andersen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
