In your opinion unless you are quoting him of course. Glasgow will not pay whatever they want, Poole set the price if Glasgow don't pay it then will go to arbitration like Skidder says. No problem with that. 

Won't go that far because Matt's not silly tbh. He'll take what he can get to pay the rent with because of the following reasons rather than holding out for a high sum that nobody will pay.

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.

Apart from it isn't! 

Yes it is… You’re on the South coast f f s, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Berwick are all 8 hours away, that is the middle of nowhere, just like Glasgow and Edinburgh are. All meetings that are for ALL teams, should be hosted somewhere CENTRALLY, not on France’s doorstep

Ben will never ride for Poole again after the way he's been treated by the owners.

So in what way has he been treated badly by the owners

Very floored logic tbh. Central would be Leicester or Birmingham. 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.

If it is the case Glasgow won't buy him anyway lol. Any loan fee should include the rest of the visa payment.

Could always have it in the grounds of Matt's chateaux :party:

Wasn't that the name given to the Poole track earlier season 2021?  (this is a light hearted joke Pirate fans).

I disagree, the "middle of nowhere" would suggest a track that isn't near any other track, up in the Highlands! 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.

Points been made earlier, if you want to use Lawson then defeats purpose to try n mess around Glasgow owners. 

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.

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. :P

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.
