Alright being a great rider but management is a totally different game From where I'm standing, Sam appears to be a 'publicity' signing....with the obvious 'hope' that it would attract a few more Wolves fans to attend? I wouldn't say its the worst thing B'ham have done... Sam can only operate with the 'poor' team selection that he's been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he is being paid to do this (can't see him doing it for nowr) that's another waste of money especially when Birmingham appears to be struggling financially, even before this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Not sure they are struggling financially? After all, Tolley said that he could afford Zmarzlik/Lindgren, but they didn't want to ride in the UK .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Speedway Star it says that replacing Milik was a cost cutting exercise and that the last couple of crowds were not where they would like them to he.. Saving on Milik's travel being a saving mentioned.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving on Milik's travel being a saving mentioned.. Sparing Milik's ineptness....(if that's a word?) he was absolute crap! So, cost cutting or not, it made sense to sack him! As for crowds? re: the couple of meetings? one was weather affected (Leicester) match wasn't completed and the other was on TV....would expect these circumstances to have a negative impact... The signing of Sedgemen will cut costs, but it certainly wont increase the crowd levels 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milik couldn't have cost the club much from a financial perspective....he scored f-all most meetings...no points-no money (according to Rogers). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged more than a point a ride , so definetly scored but obviously nothing like he would have been expected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 What a signing! Well done Birmingham! Look forward to seeing Freddie at Oxford when you visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Freddie Lindgren signs. Brummies get the top number one they've been missing. “We haven’t yet decided who Freddie will replace in the team; let’s just say that we’ll be monitoring performances very carefully in both Monday’s home fixture against Ipswich and then Thursday’s meeting at Sheffield.” The rest of team have a couple of matches to impress. Who would you drop? Not an easy decision tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
