Silly Season 2022

[er88]

Must be because whatever result he does you are disappointed. No drive without pleasing Greeks.

Don't be silly. Mikkelsen has had *almost* 5yrs at championship winning teams, with great salary, and hasn't gotten anywhere near Ogier or Neuville in championship standings. He has proven emphatically that he is a level below. That cannot be denied.

He has also shown since 2018 he has either stagnated or is on the downturn. Unfortunately this season in wrc2/erc turned off team bosses even more (maybe for good).

Ideally Msport would've signed him alongside Breen and Fourmaux ( and that wouldve been much better than Greensmith), but clearly they dont think he is worth a little extra investment compared to Gus. I would have much rather seen Mikkelsen involved with Msport in whatever role, but you have to wonder/ or either accept Malcolm's viewpoint that he doesn't have a big enough upside - compared to Greensmiths money.

The likes of Breen etc also deserve the same chances Mikkelsen got throughout his career, and Breen is clearly on an upward trajectory. Fourmaux also has huge potential and has backing ....
