Ogier with Ford??

It's good to see that Malcolm finaly (maybe he was the last one in the globe) realised the limits of his current "A" team boys and started to think about to bring new guys in the team as PG and now Ogier (even the chanche to have the little Seb it's low).
Will be interesting to see who will be the next target after Ogier say no.

Gerrard Quinn interview on totalrally radio tonight said that Ford have (today) made a formal offer to Ogier.
He did also admit that Ford are talking to others. Looks like the 4 Fiesta 1.6T would be driven by "drivers" not necessarily pay as you go rallyists. Colin Clark suggested if Ogier isnt at Ford, that the line up could be MH, JML, PG and Petter. Quinn did not dismiss this suggestion.

Just listened to the Gerard Quinn interview on TotalRally Podcast interesting stuff, don't know if it would actually happen though, Potentially one of the best moves for the sport in my opinion though. the clip is about 23mins in feed://www.totalrally.com/podcast/trpodcast.xml

Ok, I said new long-term strategies it's not really the old long-term strategy. ;)

The current rumours of moves is the best news in a long time.
Ford and Citroen is gonna play on equal terms next year. Both with new cars. The difference will be a stronger line up at Ford, which will match Citroens Loeb and Sordo and maybe Kimi + one more driver.

Remember for Ogier it is better to get a paycheck every month from Ford, than just have a free car, even if it´s named Citroen.

Must be a good pay check.. C.McRae went to Citroen for 7 mill. GBP..

Carlos Sainz went to Lancia for 1993 when team ceased to be a works team. Not to prove anything, just bad timing from his part.

I still liked Jolly Club..

better for a crap ford but being paid than a free citroen drive with nothing but praises,what do you do when the free drive is no more and ur nearing end of your career?

Always better for winners and money will come..
