It stinks, however Harris was on an over inflated average which he wasn't going fulfil and the reality is he can be replaced.  

Hope he gets fixed up at Ipswich quick

Or has someone better become available...........

First thoughts are that Harris wage demands must be higher than Cook and Andersen.

 

And they've only just realised that now? After Harris signed a contract and was announced? After the whole team was announced?

Something stinks about this, the reasons given don't add up at all.

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!

Thought  about buying Season ticket but have held back to wait and see how things panned out , thank goodness I did , As for the 100 club I wont rejoining it . After this latest piece of news a haven't got the will to waste my money anymore and certainly not to aid anything Buster is involved in.

Well well well what a surprise.......

I always thought the Panthers team looked very good, and expensive...To expensive for a team coming up a league who can't be sure how the crowds will go. If Boro and Ippo had the same budget, i'm not surprised at the re shuffle. Although not fair on Bomber as well as the fans. Why was he signed to begin with.....

Feel sorry for the Panthers fans, but you still have Cook and Hans, and maybe Tungate, and with your reserves still make you strong.

I hope Harris gets a team place asap. We have Kasper at Lynn on a 4.00, who averaged 2.55 last season for Lynn , so wouldn't really want Bomber on a high average as well.

The mind boggles... :blink:

What I dont understand is what Peterborough have found out now that they didn't know when putting their team together. If their figures on averages didn't add up then surely they would've known by now, if they were over budget they should've seen that long ago. No matter what the rights and the wrongs are you have to feel for Chris Harris who is completely innocent in all of this.

This has Chapmans hands all over it, flexing his 'muscles' now the sale is completed ...

I'm disappointed. I just hope whoever Panthers get will be an entertainer.......personally I'd rather see someone slide off (as long as they're ok) trying to swoop around the outside than settle for a safe second (naive maybe but then I guess I can be).......... I wonder if the whole 2.5% reduction was misunderstood, and therefore Panthers didn't fit the points limits..... but rather than come out and slag off the ruling body, Buster has bit his tongue and reshuffled his three teams....... what average is Tai on :D?

Was my initial thoughts as well. Both Louis and Ged are on record as saying is was “business as usual” although obviously not as before, and they were building the team. Perhaps they were given a rough estimate of available funds and built the teams accordingly. 

Now that a sale has been completed, buster has decided it’s too expensive?

The other possibility, is buster has a responsibility to all three clubs he’s now in charge of, and he can see that Ipswich are struggling to get in a heatleader? There is one available (Tungate), but for reasons I won’t go in to on here that is a move that won’t happen. 

So his plan is to move Bomber out of one of his clubs and move him to another, and then move Tungate to Peterborough where he’d be more welcome..

Only speculating of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised at either scenario.
