Knock 3 quid off the admission and use (at least), a couple of Div 1 HL's... Got to be worth it... Yep. You would need as you say 2 heat leaders, and I reckon if you could challenge for things, you would get the 800 hard cores to the non TV meetings. Up to 1000 if pushing for top spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if that's the attitude he wants to have then it's better he's not in the team. Although we're not picking up wins, the team morale and bond between the riders seems good at present. Josh would have come in, probably demanded the captaincy backed and disrupted the good vibes around the team at present, so probably for the best You obviously don’t know Josh very well. If you were off your work injured and were ready to come back and they tell you yeah that’s great but we’re going to cut your wage compared to what you were on before you got hurt. Would you be okay with that? Probably not. Sheffield offered him what he was on for Lynn at the start of the season. I know what one I would’ve picked. As for buster saying he’s not known anything is nonsense as they spoke before he even went to Poland at the weekend about coming back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for buster saying he’s not known anything is nonsense as they spoke before he even went to Poland at the weekend about coming back. I respect your comparison, however, it's not entirely accurate as built into my contract is a fixed sum of money each month I will be paid. Unlike other riders (Artem) Josh wasn't on a guarantee/minimum per meeting so his wage would fluctuate anyway depending on his performance. Also, you probably have to see if from Busters point of view. It wasn't his team, it wasn't his money, but now it is. From a business point of view, I can see why Buster tried to negotiate with him to reduce his wages. You've now got an unproven, unfit rider who has been injured for 2 months coming back into the team and you're expected to pay him the same as previously agreed without knowing if he's capable of riding to the previous standard? I agree in some instance if Josh proved that he was at the same level as before then a further renegotiation could take place to honour his original deal.

Not a Stars fan but I wondered whether this could be to down to money and a possible renegotiation. Take into consideration that there is every chance he will get more meetings at Sheffield - (Play-offs + KoC) as well I can see why he made the choice.

SamKM91 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Well Picko did guest for our playoff rivals Wolves last season when we mathematically still had a chance of making the top 4, so it's obviously he never cared about the Stars or their fans anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Ask a question, the answer I got - The King's Lynn press release is not accurate. Pickering did not "ask to be released", he was told on medical grounds he needed to rest for around 8 weeks. He fully expected to remain declared & be replaced by a 28 day replacement but the club went a different way. He had no guarantee of a return to the team when fit but a space could be made available if the team required. Buster was not willing to pay his initial pay grade once Brady left.

My guess would be he’s been offered same money at both clubs and he’s chose Sheffield due to probable play offs and positive vibes at the club. Listening to round the boards podcast a lot of negativeness coming from KL this year understandably. He’ll slot in next to Jack Holder at 2 or riding with Adam Ellis which takes abit of pressure off him as a heat leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The club went a different way". As Alex was in charge at the time, i take it he deicide to sign Kye instead of a 28 day replacement for Picko, for some reason ? So that gave Buster the opportunity to offer a new deal for less money. If that is the case, a bit of transparency from Buster would of been great. And you can't blame JP.
