If Buster has given each team a budget to work to then that's how it is,go over that then you have to make a saving somewhere.In this case it's Harris.Whether it comes from the same pot is irrelevant,many people,companies work like this.

screm Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 As far as I am aware we haven't heard anything from Chris Harris himself, normally he is not shy in coming forward with his views and giving the circumstances he has found himself in you would think he would've taken to social media. Maybe he`s been tipped the wink that he is being picked up by either Ipswich or Kings Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Maybe they asked one of the three Peterborough heat leaders to volunteer to move. I’m sure if he had been sacked he would have made a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was was to end up at either club it’s another nail in Speedway’s credibility coffin . It wasn't the preferred option though to own 3 clubs but it was needed to save the league. So credit for that but the situation came about under his watch, which is another issue unless you think the sport was already in self destruct when he took the big chair? The big mess created is that he has to be hands off and each club needs to be seen to be equal and make their own decisions and any differences must not have the hand of Chapman. Given that our sport would struggle to hold a drinking competition in a brewery then that's an impossible circle to square!

If Buster is the owner of all 3, then effectively it is. The three individual pots all go back to one big one in simple terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidder1 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 As an outsider looking in, it would be interesting to know exactly who issued the press release/statement, as no management individual is mentioned in it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. As with all speedway press, concentrate on what it doesn't say. For the majority of the time the PR is accurate but when something creates a stink then there's usually a reason for that and the reality is rarely as reported. That's just my strategy and I'm not saying that it applies here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 You have to remember what was rumoured weeks ago (rubbished by Watson). All rider's were made aware that team changes may have to be made if the club ISN'T sold. With it announced that Buster is officially the new owner then the club HASN'T been sold as such so rider's have to go, so to fit the budget Buster set from the start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Harris is the only rider to refuse the pay structure. He did sulk in the Speedway Star bumper edition about he'll only ride for so much or he'll quit the sport, running on about how the sport owes him a living.

The only logical answer is for "P" to pick something that costs their share so that "I" can goto the other shop. Simple. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpman Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I am surprised by the official statement from Chris Harris not the level of anger I was expecting from him. Sort of males you wonder what he knew in advance of yesterday's announcement Edited January 19, 2019 by Carpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
