I would rather have Bech & Nicholls instead of Masters at No.1.

No thanks. 

NKI should do a decent job my only concern is the age of a lot of the riders.  I'd look a younger number 7 who could learn from dad's army

Interested in what you would think of Lynn's team if you were a Stars fan. Would you be happy?

No idea. I have minimal interest these days. When Frost & Mahoney left Peterborough then so did much of my enthusiasm. If it's not Peterborough or GP as seen on BT then I'm unlikely to know too much about it. All I've seen of 6 fingers is a Twitter game of guess who this is? I assume that Lambert is riding for them but apart from that I have no idea who they've got. I wouldn't be happy to be a Stars fan because Christmas is really expensive with 1000s of relatives to buy presents for.

I do wonder if we are getting Nicholls. 

He did well at Wolves and they had enough to sign him but didn’t, they have come in at 1.86 under.

Just a theory but if not Panthers then he is losing out on riding both leagues.

I’m starting to think that NKI has decided not to ride in the UK and the management are trying to re build the team. Surely NKI would not need that long to make a decision as he’s done it all before. He know the logistics of it all........ assuming it is NKI that we was waiting on

Yes agree. The local paper had quotes from Carl Johnson that they want NKI and that he needed to work out if he could fit in rider for Panthers.

Suggests that he was considering it and maybe that £ was not the issue.

Think this league is Monday’s and Thursdays again? So maybe his schedule is not working.

 As has been said in the past Tungate, Nicholls and Bech fits.

Here is the clear and obvious plan. Tungate announced very soon then it's a possible long wait. Nicholls, Bech & Ostergaard are the riders on standby but none of them can put pen to paper until the management knows where we stand.

Management waiting on a go ahead from NKI....If NKI gives us the green light then Buster can get the Ostergaard deal done.

Management hoping for a U-Turn from KK......If NKI cant do Britain and KK changes his mind then Buster can get the Nicholls deal done.

Management forced into (Tungate, Nicholls & Bech)…..If neither of the above happens (NKI & KK) then Buster can get the Nicholls & Bech deals done.

One signing impacts another so after Tungate's imminent announcement don't panic because we have riders on standby and deals will be done sharpish.

Option A (Managements choice) - NKI, Tungate & Ostergaard - No point making teams with a different 1-7. Ostergaard is the No.7 if NKI signs.

Option B (Back up to plan A) - KK, Tungate & Nicholls

Option C (Default plan) - Tungate, Bech & Nicholls

None of Bech, Nicholls or Ostergaard can be signed until the management have been given a final decision by NKI & KK.

Very informative post, however, I'd pick a team with Nicholls over any other!

I don't have any inside info. Just obvious what's happening behind the scenes. With all the info that's been leaked and the rumoured riders.

I think we will end up with a 1-7 containing Nicholls tbh and I'm all for that. Scotty will be very very very useful lol when we visit tracks like Foxhall & Monmore. 

NKI is unlikely tbh. Yes Peterborough is on his door step but fans need to realise that NKI still has to catch flights to Britain and back so he's still going to be travelling a lot more than he usually does. I would be delighted and shocked if NKI lined up for us in 2020.

I think we will go with Tungate, Bech & Nicholls which would still be a very good side imo.
