Flappy could absolutely end up correct no question, but it’s foolish to be so confident. It’s a fluid situation and as I’ve said many times, things change on an hourly basis. I’ve also been told things by a very reliable source and in good faith, but until they’ve signed on the dotted line and announced officially by clubs then things can always change because there’s so many moving parts to these deals. PhilTheAce no doubt also has good info, but he was sure that Kerr wasn’t returning to Sheffield but instead going to Leicester. But Kerr has indeed ended up back at Sheffield. That doesn’t mean he gets duff info, at the time Kerr more than likely was in at Leicester but again, things twist and turn behind the scenes all the time. Barker to Wolves was Phil's best so far....

TTT Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 The only logical reason I can think of as to why Andersen is probably in is due to no EU rider on a 6+ being available. No new Aussie or EU rider on a 5.00 would bring us close to the limit, No rider left on 2022 Premiership list would bring us close either as most of them are on 4 something's as well.

Personally hope it's neither, & it's Buzz. Whoever the new owner is you will not be overly popular if Batchelor is brought back. Arguably as a rider has his merits but many would have severe doubts as to his other qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Personally, can't see why any rider signed would make the prospective new owner unpopular. The majority of fans want to see the strongest team within the points limit in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember years ago him going ballistic at Swales about track because he wasn’t scoring many points in 1 meeting if I was manager I would have sacked him on spot. But make no mistake batch is a better rider than Andersen at this moment in time he won more heats round showground than Andersen did last season …and pairing him with holder if he’s coming wouldn’t be a bad thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 why the need to build to the points limit with riders you know won't improve, i'd rather be under with riders that have improvement in them and want to be at the club 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm claiming nothing other than 5 riders and a new owner. The reality is it doesn't matter what a fan thinks of a rider personally, they're here to do a job and if they do that job fans will cheer them, if they don't they lose their job. I don't buy this not wanting a rider because he's not a nice person 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
