Klingberg to go?

Swedish Gr🀅and Prix rider Niklas Kཧlingberg may not be seen in King's Lynn colours again according to promoter Nigel Wagstaff.

"Niklas was very keen to join ✤us in 2001," he explained, "and after 🐼protracted negotiations we went through the sports' arbitration process which resulted in us purchasing his contract from Belle Vue for ?19,000."

"Having invested such a large sum of money, I was pretty upset when he finally opted not to retuꦬrn to race in this country this year but, given the investment the club had made, went along with his decision."

Klingberg to go?

Swedish Grand Prix rider Niklas Klingberg may ওnot be seen in King's Lynn colours agaiꦜn according to promoter Nigel Wagstaff.

"Niklas was very keen to join us in 2001," he explained, "and after protracted negotiations we went through the sports' arbitration process which resulted in us purchasing his contract from Belle Vue for ?1🥃9,000."

"Having invested such a large sum of money, I was pretty upset when he finally opted not to return to race in this country this year but, given the investment the club had made,🦂 went along with his decision."

"However I've subsequently discovered that, on two separate occasions, he has spoken to other British promoters since the start of the season wꦰith a view to returning to the Sky Sports Elite League this year."

"And what is particularly galling, not to say upsetting, is that I've found out this in🍒formation second hand from the promoters concerned rather than from Niklas himself."

"That being so I feel that he needs tꦆo come clean and do the decent thing by submitting an official transfer re🍎quest to this club."

"Providing he does we will not stand✱ in his way in regard to him moving e൩lsewhere on a full transfer for an appropriate fee."

"And when I say 'appropriate fee' I mean commensurate with the facts that Belle Vue originally asked a ?35,000 fee for him; that we paid ?19,000 following the arbitration process; that he increased his average over the course of the 2001 season by nearly one and a half points; and that he is now an established GP star having finished in the world's top ten in 2💙001."
