JoeW436 Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 If I am correct we have not won a fixture home or away since beating Kings Lynn at home on July the 4th last year…14 fixtures…no wins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh his is Matej Zagar with all due respect and hardly Artem Laguta. I think someone said over a week ago that Buster is on a budget, and a certain sponsor needs to step up after what he said before the season started.. I hope he does for your sake. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is if they told us they had the possibility to sign X rider but needed to raise X amount of money speedway fans are the type to raise it. This shouldn't be the case but with sponsors being asked to stump up more it appears he's got the begging bowl out for anything over the Pedersen contract.

psycho3a Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Im a little confused, talk of needing a cash sum to sign a number 1, surely there was a big stash of cash readily available for Nicki Pedersen as he would not have come cheap !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagar is more expensive. I think the £3.5k that NP was reported to be on took the budget to the limit. Zagar then verbally agreed a deal, but came back wanting another £100 a point so it was reported. It don’t seem a lot but that would be around an extra £2000 out of the home crowds takings. Allowing for still having to pay the riders for their away meetings. Edited April 26, 2023 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you then tell Matej to do one and move on... surely his lower average than Nikki means he cant warrant paying more money... The issue is riders know Peterborough are desperate and will try to use that to hold them to ransom... would Matej Zagar seriously be a proper number one and be the answer, i cant imagine he would in my opinion, when previously rode in the UK he normally riders out of the number one spot !!

Just looked in 2022 Zagar finished on a 7.20 average which placed him 11th in the list of riders in 2022 in the premiership !! I actually agree that Buster is right to stick to his guns and principles, Matej Zagar is also too unreliable and unpredictable (In My Opinion) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes correct to tell Zagar to do one , if you give Zagar what he wants he will just take the mickey with his performances knowing he's on a guarantee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
