bittar

just because he hasnt said it, doesnt mean he wont. if hes as good at the job as he is at talking he will be an asset.

well he's going to working closely with the bookmakers so i think that says it all

do ou understand how racing is currently funded?

*you

what has bittar said regarding punters?

interview with chapman, commenting on how important they are to uk racing etc mag

yes elise, punters, bookmakers make a pretty poor job of collecting it (because they quite like punters to bet on things that do not require levy to come from their profits)

Came across as a fence sitter.  Not what is needed

the cliche about punters being important is what you will hear from anyone at the bha, doesnt mean a thing

you'd best ask for him to resign then

whilst he does have a pretty hopeless task it would have been nice to hear something original

should we not give him a chance?

thought he had sound ideas, got his personal priorities absolutely right (ie the levy and prizemoney), and fundamental to everything (which some at the current BHA appeared to have fogotten) is that it's the horses on the racetrack that are the most important thing.
So Elise is correct, at least give the guy a chance

Yes give him a chance.

As he isnt Paulie boy, he is better.

pedrobob, are you the sort of person who thinks 10 heads in a row means we are due a tail ? lol, if your livelihood depends on racing start making alternative arrangements, just in case, rather than keep giving chances, charitable as it is of you
