His time at Reading certainly wasn't what you would describe as thrilling. Expand To be fair Dave the set up nearly worked as only the golden tac rule stopped the club winning the grand final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Fair enough, I must say however that I don't find Sam inspirational in any way , but I do hope the Brummies make a success of next season . The current owner deserves that for his continued financial commitment to the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 As a Wolves fan I've never thought of Ermo as team manager material, wish him well though I'd have tried to get Rosco personally but he'd have certainly needed to be involved in selecting the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Could very well be Zagar at No.1 if Phil the Ace is right about Lampart being a 100% cert, Z. Cook should be a lock. It looks dreadful but I wouldn't be surprised because 6 of these are IN by the sound of things so it's just a ? over Schlein. 1. Zagar 2. Z. Cook 3. Schlein 4. Brennan 5. S. Worrall 6. W. Lampart 7.

Maybe it was a money or a control issue but I don’t see Sam as the answer. Zagar will do a decent job at number 5 but the Brummies need a strong number 1. Is that Polish lad Zmarzlik still on their books? He seemed like a decent prospect for the Brummies in his one (?) meeting for them several years back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Who is actually selecting the Team for the coming Season? If it’s Nigel and Rogers there track record isn’t great, I really hope they get it right this time I would think one more season like the last two would be the end, With the contracts Sam has maybe hand over team selection to him.

"Raved about on Sky" - Nigel Pearson would've raved about speedway in someone's back garden, it was his job. "Hosted British Finals" - so did Kirkmanshulme Lane, it was still a crap track. God knows how crowd size comes into the track argument, I suppose you had nothing else. Expand Wolves was one of the best prepared and skilled racing tracks. More fans enjoyed the racing at Monmore than Brum.

Not at all but Brum SHOULD be one the better tracks with its shape but rides pretty awfully. Track prep has been an issue for years although I hear it’s got better. It will be bitterly exposed on TV if not in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
