King's Lynn have confirmed manager Peter Schroeck has stood down from his role by mutual consent.
Following the latest home defeat by Ipswich on Monday, club owner Keith Chapman and Schroeck agreed it was best to go in a different direction.
Said Chapman: “I don’t like difficult conversations, particularly with people I have a lot of time for, but we felt the time was right to move in a different direction.
“Some of the riders also need to take a long look at themselves because they haven’t delivered for whatever reason.
“Once again I must emphasise how much we appreciate the loyal support of the fans and sponsors at such a tough time for the club.”
Schroeck himself added: “My respect for Buster (Chapman) will always be there, I’m just sad and disappointed it has come to this.
“As a manager in speedway you can only work with the tools you are given and some of the riders just haven’t been good enough.
