Perhaps there isn't one and it is what it says on the tin, but timing and reasons are everything and both here are a bit flakey. Family matters can (not always as it could be genuine) be the management equivalent of an health and safety issue and what wasn't known when he agreed to take on the role  Be interesting to see who's next to be AWOL on the Facebook page. PETERBOROUGH have been rocked by the decision of team boss Carl Johnson to relinquish his role with immediate effect.He notified the other members of the ‘T Balfe Construction’ Panthers management of his decision yesterday, citing family commitments. Johnson led Peterborough to the Premier League Cup final after initially taking charge for the second half of the 2014 campaign and also steered them into the play-off semi-finals last season when working alongside Dale Allitt. Johnson resumed sole responsibility for team affairs again last month when Allitt’s rise to being a promoter at King’s Lynn forced him to give up his official role with Peterborough. Promoter Ged Rathbone said: “We’re obviously very disappointed to lose Carl, but we respect his decision and thank him for the considerable time and effort he has put into the club. “Carl is Panthers through-and-through and that is what has made him so popular with our supporters. He has huge passion for the club and has given his all in these past couple of years. “He will always be welcome at the East of England Showground and we wish him and his family all the very best for the future.” Rathbone will not rush into a decision on a replacement for Johnson. He revealed Allitt has been granted permission to step in for the short-term with a busy spell of four fixtures looming large in the next couple of weeks – starting with a League Cup clash at Ipswich on Thursday (April 14) ahead of a Premier League opener at Rye House on Saturday (April 16). Rathbone added: “We are not going to make any sort of knee-jerk reaction. “Dale will step in for the short-term and I’m delighted about that. It will give us that bit of continuity moving forward. “Myself, Dale and Trevor Swales will do all we can to ensure a promising start to the season continues.” peterboroughpanthers/news 12/4/16 |

OUTGOING team boss Carl Johnson insists he will be back at the East of England Showground to support Peterborough in their quest for honours.
Johnson has stepped down from his role with the ‘T Balfe’ Construction Panthers due to family commitments only a few weeks into the 2016 campaign.
But he will remain a big supporter of the club and plans to take in as many meetings as possible from the grandstand.
Johnson said: “I wanted the opportunity to be a team manager and I’ve enjoyed the challenge immensely.
“It has been tough at times, but also very rewarding and I’ve learned a lot since taking the job on in the summer of 2014.
“But it is not a role I feel I can continue in currently. It has become too much for me to juggle my work and family commitments along with my finances.
“It takes up a big amount of my time and costs a lot of money to be involved in speedway.
“I’m also aware of the fact I missed out on time with my eldest three children when they were little as I had separated from their mum.
“I’m not going to put myself in the position of missing out on seeing my young son, who is now six months old, grow up.
“I wouldn’t rule out a return to team management in the future, but I’m just looking forward to watching meetings as a fan again now.
“I’ll be back in the crowd at the Showground again – just as I always used to be.”
Johnson’s reign ended on a high as Peterborough triumphed 57-36 at Scunthorpe on Sunday in a Premier League Cup Midland Group clash – their second big success of the season against the Scorpions.

Never a dull moment when there are too many cooks (of the management team type):
PETERBOROUGH team manager Jason Attwood has left his role with the Premier League club.
Attwood has been with the 'T Balfe Construction' Panthers for three months after arriving in early May.
Carl Johnson will now resume control of team matters (no smoke without fire when there's a surprise press release) with promoter Ged Rathbone and co-promoter Trevor Swales providing guidance and assistance.
"There is no bad feeling on either side," insisted Rathbone.
"It is quite simply a case of Jason not being comfortable working within our structure where all members of the management team have an input on team affairs.
"We thank Jason for the work he has done during his spell with the club and wish him all the very best for his future speedway endeavours.
"Jason also hopes that we can go on to win the league and we'll be doing everything we can to make that happen."
Peterborough face a trip to current leaders Somerset, who have won all 11 of their league meetings to date, tomorrow night (Friday).

Obviously some conflict within the camp. The bit of the statement which bothers me is Tetley providing guidance and assistance on team matters. We have been down that road before.

Last trophy 2006 with Tetley at the forefront of the said management team. Only time (back end of 2013) that Panthers have been worth watching in the last decade, Tetley wasn't making the decisions. So who's got it right? Rathbone or Attwood? My money's on the 3 month man! |

Attwood simply didn't like the fact that he wasn't the only one making the decisions in matches, guests and changes etc. To be fair it's nothing new is it, I should think it's the same at most clubs. Firstly as you know, I pay little attention to press releases apart from knowing that they usually get one side of the story out there. Wasn't Attwood aware of the structure when he took up the post? It's nothing new for us which takes up back to a decade of failure, depending on what your measure of success is. Poole win things, Sullivan's Panthers would have won things (IMHO). I'd guess that Ford and Sullivan call (or did call in Sullivan's case) the shots without worrying about what others thought. Clearly something broke the camel's back. That's the interesting bit that's missing from the PR and is the part we'll never know. At the end of the day, the promoter pays the bills and does most of the work so the TM is surplus to requirements anyway IMO. Could have a fan's raffle at each meeting for those who'd like a chance to be TM at the next meeting. That'd raise cash and save whatever the TM is give in terms of renumeration. |

Was explained a bit further last night with money being mentioned (understandably) as a big factor, in terms of the club's running costs, not his wages or expenses (if there were any) although I wasn't quite sure whose money we were talking about? We had a management team under Frost when money wasn't and issue so it's perhaps the process or personnel that's the problem? If we're thinking of success then we come back to that horrible mob from Dorset (ironic isn't it) and I don't recall Matt Ford referring to his management team? Ford seems to call all the shots and everyone gets on with it. Didn't Muddlo say that Ford picks the riders and he manages what he's given? One assumes that Ford has discussions with those concerned but the buck stops with one person. |
