spin king junior Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Making a team sponsor a team manager? Are you being serious? I know this is the least of British Speedway' problems, but Jesus H Christ, it doesn't half make the sport look amateur. Where in any other sport would you see a bloody sponsor become the manager of a so called 'top level' team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point about amateurism but that ship has long since sailed for British speedway...... at the end of the day Alex is far from the first non ex rider team manager and there have been plenty of those who have been successful over the years so the fact he sponsors the team is neither here nor there if he does a good job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch958 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 in football management, many have been successful managers without being stellar performers. However, will he be able to advise on gearings, best lines, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will you give this rubbish up.It seems like you think everyone who has served under Buster is a yes man or they are out.You just give up with such crap.So you are saying Rob was a yes man? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady seems to be a lot like Rob as he had supported the Stars from a young age and followed them all those years.I personally don't see anything wrong in his appointment.A new fresh approach is what is needed.

But then again you could probably say that about Dale, and Rob Lyon (Don't think Rob rode) to be honest, what about Peter Adams. Tracks and engines change all the time. The best advice for set ups etc would come from one of your team mates on any particular night. Although not all riders engines are set up the same either. 58 minutes ago, Haza said: Is Alex Brady a yes man if so he will get on fine if he isn’t a yes man as others at the club have found could be a short lived appointment.. Was/Is Rob Lyon a yes man, i very much doubt it....I know Alex reads the forum. The honest answer to that is who knows. Only people close to him will know his nature. He loves his speedway, i hope he knows all the rules and regs (not easy mind ). No doubt Dale will be on hand to help if need be. His has the balls to offer or accept the role, which ever scenario it was. So give him a go until the end of the season, see how he gets on. Best of luck Alex.

Any of us experienced fans (that take notice) can tell a rider the best way round pretty much every track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ride the right lines, but if your set up is wrong for the track/conditions, your going to struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedtiger Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 This is an astonishingly desperate move by the intellectually challenge Chapman even by his bizarre standards. A inexperienced fan having the responsibility to run a speedway team.....has clueless Buster lost what bit of sense he had....?? Yes. Alex good luck pall, coz you will certainly need it. PS. Realistically you don’t stand a chance so don’t give up your day job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
