Let me break my usual Saturday silence to answer the critics/experts: I have so much confidence in manager/staff/players that if we don’t achieve the play offs this season I’ll step down as Chairman
Marcus Maddison latest
Darren Ferguson has told Marcus Maddison that he's no longer part of his plans at Peterborough United.
Several Championship clubs have expressed an interest in Maddison, with Boro understood to be one of the clubs who like the 26-year-old.
Charlton had a bid accepted but couldn't agree terms with the attacking midfielder, while tomorrow's visitors to the Riverside Birmingham are also said to have triggered Maddison's release clause, thought to be in the region of £2m.
Maddison has been one of the stand-out players in League One with Posh but Ferguson now wants closure, with the attacker out of contract this summer.

He told London News Online : “It’s quite simple in terms of where it is with Marcus. We’ve now had two clubs have bids accepted and he’s free to speak to both clubs.
“But he can’t sort out the personal terms at the moment. That’s where he is with those clubs.
“In terms of where I am, everyone has got to understand that I’ve got to manage 25-26 players and not one individual.
“At this point I’m putting closure on the Marcus Maddison situation. Whether he goes or not, he’s not part of the plans moving forward.
“I’ve got to make sure I’ve got a team all pointing in the same direction. It’s become a bit of a circus act, the whole thing – is he going or is he not? There have been a lot of incidents where he hasn’t been available.
“He’s out of contract in the summer, he won’t be here. The club offered him a very good contract in the summer and his opinion was that he was not going to sign it, I’m going to play in the Championship. He now has the opportunity to do that. But I’m not sure if it is going to happen.
“I’ve got players now who I feel can replace him. The main point is that it’s about us and not me. That is the attitude I want from everyone. It can’t be about one individual. It has to be about the team.”
So the hefty release clause has been triggered then as mentioned by Brin
I would imagine there's a game going on here between club and player.
Posh want him sold now because they won't get anything in the summer but the player wants to delay signing for any new club until June because he's probably going to be able to negotiate a higher salary as his new club won't have to pay a transfer fee.
Hopefully he will be frozen out on Saturday as he is a good player
We have sold 1,285 of our now final allocation of 1,655.
Don’t miss out like some did for Lincoln, get your tickets
Cheers for that pal. I had no idea that was taking place. Yes your right that some players get above their station but, likely that the greedy agent wanted more out of it than Maddision.
With the gardening leave situation, sounds like Maddison had slapped his own request in or Posh would have sealed this deal as they are so good at it. Glad he's out, may just upset their progress through midfield when we play them. Having said that, Ferguson may be playing silly buggers and play him anyway if he wants promotion.
