This was what was put on Carl Johnson’s Facebook and Ged said he had offered the full asking price and it was turned down. the post was removed shortly afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Where is Ged saying this in public? No good with the "he said this" if he isn't prepared to come out and say anything at all, it's just a rumour. As Chapman said, no offers in writing. If Ged disputes this then let's hear him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who I believe. Generally there are 3 sides to every story with the truth in the middle. No doubt we will know once the season is over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tv meeting’s getting called off the day before and of course his antics at Edinburgh several years ago. Didn't say that I believed it. Just that it has as much credibility as a post on a forum. Both are lacking detail and counter argument so treat both with a pinch of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ged looking to get the club back, with Neil Watson involved? I’ve no insider info but there seems to be enough talk around to suggest there is truth in the stories that others are keen to take the club on….. Indeed. And that was the clever part of the article when he said: " If anyone did want to make me an offer, I wish they would have put it in writing, because I would have accepted it if it was anything sensible." - if those negotiations were only verbal and an offer price couldn't be agreed then there were no offers, despite others disputing that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ was the promoter running things from the start with his buddy MT, who supposed to be co promoter, but he didn't end up doing that.. Most felt that Buster would just do nothing and run the clock down, but he hasn't.. He's brought riders in and he is paying them now, and doing the deals.. I can't say any more than that. The I know the real truth story is getting a bit tiresome though. Either post the facts, as you understand them or give it a rest, said in the nicest possible way. CJ has been a yo-yo for years and you seem to think that him making decisions is a plus. I'm not sure how many Panthers fans feel the same? Until Buster actually says what went wrong with the Tomlin deal, why he has been so negative on our future during 2023 (although I understand if it's not to upset AEPG as Bratters says), or why here at the end of 2022, at 1.01 he say that Panthers could have another few seasons at the EoES ? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1285189478916248 then the jury is out and will remain so. Yes he's providing a good ending, and credit for that, but the emphasis very much on ending with others fighting for the club and energising the fans to get active. Surely even a die-hard Buster fan such as yourself can see that there are some questions to answer? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismorton Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I'm guessing they will wait until after tomorrow before announcing the Lynn meeting as they know a lot of people will come tomorrow thinking it's the last ever meeting..which continues on the theme of Busters dishonesty.. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many Panthers fans feel the same? I don't pretend to know everything. I only know what i have been told by someone very credible and close, on some things, not everything by a long way.. Guess i'll have to shut up in the nicest possible way then..

True, and would love to hear it as well.. My guess, and this is a guess, is that Holdergate had something to do with it falling apart early on. Regarding the vid. Maybe Buster thought/hoped there was a chance at the time he said it that something might be able be worked out. I really don't know.. With all these objections going in, it wouldn't surprise me if something might happen, but i suspect the offer, if made, might be ridiculous, and rent related. Making it not viable anyway. But they can say they tried but the sport is not viable. Yes he's providing a good ending, and credit for that, but the emphasis very much on ending with others fighting for the club and energising the fans to get active. Surely even a die-hard Buster fan such as yourself can see that there are some questions to answer? Thank you . A little bit of credit, is better than what he has had from most on here all season. That's why i have been supportive of him. Some of the stuff is undeserved imho.. It's not been easy for him this season, with both promoters leaving for different reasons. He was as good as retired, then had all this put on him. I don't know what if any part he has in trying to save the Panthers if any.. If i was in his shoes i would of shut the doors when CJ jacked after the poo he was getting. 13 minutes ago, Crump99 said: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings Lynn match is meaningless and won't affect the final league positions. It will also save Buster a shed load of money if it isn't run. What are the speedway authorities going to do if its not ridden ? No good fining Peterborough as they will be defunct after tomorrow !
