Depending on tobi injury I was more getting at why is he allowed to live here when he doesn't work here? Some kind of British parentage I assume? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it logically…..£3.5k a meeting for boro & then crashes on his first meeting Vs £15-20k a meeting racing in Poland….he will have had some of this upfront as well. So why come to this country in the beginning....N.P doesnt need the hassle riding in Britain.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did another club would dangle even more money. I'm not suggesting Nicki should choose the UK over Poland, but surely he's a big enough star not to be bullied into compliance. Let's say he says to Grudziadz he wants to continue racing for Peterborough, what are they going to do drop him? As SPEEDY69 says - no chance. What if Nicki tried to call their bluff? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they were going to fine him his fee per match at pboro for every time he rode so essentially he would be riding for free. And they would take back some of his sign on fee which I’m guessing is a substantial amount of money, if you wa sin his position it’s simple really isn’t it…. You leave pboro and ride where the money is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think he’s been bullied into it? If Grudziadz didn’t want him to ride in the UK then he wouldn’t have even started over here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
