The Ford Family know full well they've got an asset heading for Poland & Sweden within two years meaning no loan fees will be coming in for Ben Basso from British clubs due to Polish restrictions / rules. They also know Ben will never ride for Poole again therefore they've got an asset who'll be worthless to the club within two years who'll they'll make no money off. With the rent situation and the chateau Matt will be wise enough to realise some money is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway just cos a place is far away doesn't make it in the middle of nowhere especially as it is in a town centre, with a train station 5 min walk away.

The fours was held for years at Peterborough, which, while more central than Poole isn't close to the Scottish tracks. But there was always good crowds there when I went.

Who is being messed around? I'm just considering potential scenarios, up to Glasgow to decide whether to do a loan or have him for an asset or Peterborough of course! If he's only doing UK for a couple of seasons, not much point buying him imo. Unless they think a good chance of him committing to UK for a while.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I went to London this afternoon. Left at 12.30 pm, did the business, and drove back to Poole arriving at 5.30. Amazing this place Poole. So close to London the the back of nowhere. As others have said, Basso is a Poole asset and Matt wants paying. Guess he is the equivalent of Verstappen a couple of years ago so the fee needs to be around £50,000 minimum. This Faccenna chap has deep pockets so let’s hope he doesn’t have short arms. Poach a rider, pay the fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
