If you throw money at him NP he will come over ..who wouldnt ....

Madness to sign NP not overly wonderful last time with Panthers. Only just been repaired  and no warranty as to the result, Must have concerns over those now in charge if the various permutations  suggested are correct.

Peterborough fans don't really have much to worry about, in terms of machinery the riders will be riding, Tomalin ans his investment won't just go into the club, it will go into his riders to ensure they have decent equipment, the only worry the fans have is the riders not performing on it

Andersen i think its ok to give the benefit of doubt for a poor season, judge him afresh after a handful of meetings in 2023, nobody is privy to everything going on behind the scenes which can play a part in poor scoring.

You can’t polish a turd

Besides its what team finishes the season that is important, and some riders will be available later in the season when changes are ready to occur 

Peterborough with the financial backing will be a very attractive propositon to riders, shame they didn't have Tomalin on board and announced it at the end of 2022, reckon more riders would have held out for a spot (shame the stadium availability played its part there).

True ...They may have good equipment under them but can they  ride it ..u need the 2 to make it happen..

What I would do with Hans if he's the rider and not the manager.

I'd put him on a 5 meeting trial run and if he doesn't do well then he'd have to be dropped from the side.

In the first 5 meetings we have 3 Home fixtures and 2 away trips, The two away trips are at Ipswich and Leicester (Technical places that he should go well at)

Spot on with this, he’s no excuse not too perform. Problem is how do you go about having a replacement rider on standby so too speak

Hans will be ok on the small tracks its the bigger ones when u need more power he will struggle...Ideally he should have been at number 6 ...

With a bit of luck Batchelor might be available.

If not we could grab a Championship rider who's already set up in Britain like Craig Cook, Ben Barker, Kye Thomson or Jonas Knudsen if no EU rider is available.

Pointless we'd still be 2.3 under the limit

If we're going 2.3 under the limit to begin with then it means that nobody from Europe is willing to ride for us. (We're not imo)

Nobody offers Hans a job on a 4.93 when they've got over 7.00 points left until they've explored all avenues. (Just an example)

Personally I don't even think we've got 7 something left over though, I think the rumoured 1-7 is wrong because it holds no logic (Opinion)

 

Only 1-7 that holds any logic involving Hans Andersen is this because it only leaves us 0.39 or 0.85 short of the 39.00 points limit

I'm working on the basis that either NKI or Holder is out because the proposed 1-7 on here doesn't hold any logic and it doesn't tie in with Tomalin's comments all winter, Tomalin is still talking about challenging for the title now so I don't think he'd embarrass himself like that before he's even got his feet under the table in his new role if the team wasn't competitive.

Out of the two I'm more confident on NKI being in for two reasons.

1. Due to the Buster factor (NKI has always been Busters go to guy) and (Buster and Chris have previous issues to iron out)

2. Flappy said Chris Holder signed ages ago with three other locks for 2023, Those other three have all been announced but Chris hasn't (Is that just a coincidence)
