Tungate to sign 

I thought the same thing - Pboro reported not willing to meet his pay demands along comes Alex Brady says we will meet the short fall - the other possibility is if Ipswich make a change could Tungate be on his way to Ipswich?

Not sure Pickering is the answer. Sure you’ll get 100% all action effort but in 12 months he’s gone from #1 to reserve. 

As you say, all action. I'd welcome him back under the circumstances.. But his average has dropped. Came in on 7.38. Started this season on 6.14, and i know he only did 3 league meetings before he got injured, but he averaged 4.36 in those. Probably not fair to judge him on them 3 only, but when he comes back, he needs to be fully fit, and up his game a bit. We need more though.

As much as I like Josh and think he's a terrific rider, he was thrown in the deep end massively last year think he rode at every HL position. He definitely was never going to be No.1, potentially a No.5, but even then I think that was asking a lot. His best position would be in the engine room, but unfortunately, circumstances prevented that from happening so it's no surprise his average dropped.

I would welcome him back with open arms, but he certainly needs to put some meetings in with Edinburgh and in Poland first to get back to full fitness.

He does yet will still finish second bottom 

To be fair, he has more than put the KK thing right, probably at great expense to himself. The strong reserve hasn't worked out, and our engine room has been shocking. I don't think you could of expected that. Klindt 7.39 down to 4.57 ( his average so far this season) and TJ 6.35 down to 4.87 this season. Jason Edwards has a better away average than TJ at 3.75 :blink:

Though i think Matt is still heavily involved, even subsituting as TM when needed. Not sure who does the 'signings' in the winter, prob a joint thing. @Skidder1 will know!

Matt still owns the Poole club. He does the pre-season deals from his extensive contacts book - always putting together with Danny at least 3 potential line-ups depending on points limit and cost! - and as he stated in interview on Wednesday, he speaks to Danny every day. (Matt also confirmed he managed to get Artem to Steve Worrall's Testimonial next Wednesday, as Artem's manager 'owed him a favour')

Danny leads with most of the club sponsorships/advertising and all the day-to-day, week-to-week stuff, including being on the BSPL Board of Directors with Messrs, Godfrey, Bates and Louis!.

Danny is too involved in all the matchday stuff to also take on the Team Manager role when Middlo is away so as Matt explained, he flew in from France to Bournemouth at 4.30pm on Wednesday and was due to catch a flight from Stansted back to France at 6.30am on Thursday!! Now that is a 'flying visit'!:t:

Also as Matt explained the Chateau is a lot more hard work than first imagined and although very successful with big American Tour Operators committed, Matt may look for something a 'little easier' in 2 years time or so!!!
