CardinalSin 346 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Interesting comments from Pete about issues with the team last year and his disappointment that Lanham wasn't given a place this year.. Also that he didn't receive backing over wanting to change the riding order. http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/mobile/teams_2_553/ipswich_witches_2_563/witches_team_manager_pete_simmons_quits_after_six_years_in_charge_but_may_have_stayed_had_the_witches_moved_into_the_elite_league_1_3211130 Edited January 16, 2014 by CardinalSin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 16, 2014 With what he has said it obviously means as team manager he doesn't have much say in anything. So with that in mind, do we need a team manager? I would like to say thanks to Pete for putting so much of his own time and obviously at a cost to himself into it. Maybe some of his strange decisions were not his after all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone has to be named as team manager for a meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted January 16, 2014 Someone has to be named as team manager for a meeting. Rumour has it that the new team manager will be the winner from the previous weeks Witches Winner draw.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardinalSin 346 Posted January 16, 2014 Mike Smillie is still general manager. Perhaps he'll get his old job back as team manager.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 16, 2014 I'm sure you are right, as he wouldn't have mentioned the other bits otherwise. Let's be honest, he was probably just a gofor for Louis, and we all know why morten is in the team and not Leigh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,661 Posted January 16, 2014 Pete was obviously not happy being a CL yes man, who can blame him. Family connections obviously outweigh the good intentions of a loyal team manager.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,693 Posted January 16, 2014 The positive if there is any in a stuation such as this is that it is being sorted now in January and not in March or worse in mid season. Whatever the rights and wrongs and whatever side you may take now come the action all in the camp and on the terraces need to be pulling in the same direction.
