Oh dear, because he refused, does not mean he had the final decision.
It implies he forced the decision he wanted on the ref.

As there appears to be no reason to believe the original suggestion that it was something other rhan a referee's decision I'm going to guess that this is just pissing in the wind and either a case of (charitably) chinese whispers or otherwise an excuse to create a bit of sensationalism around the fact the game was called off.
It seems that every game in the area (at a ground without undersoil heating) has been postponed so no great mystery and clearly time to move on.

This country is ruled by Health and Safety laws so why should football be exempt the managers first duty is to the safety of his players.

Charlton v Saints called off because one of the linesmen thought his line was a bit hard/slippy, and refused to swap sides when the other lino (who thought conditions were fine) offered. 18,000 inconvenienced 'cause one lino wants to get home for his Boxing Day dinner. *sigh*
After arriving outside dagenhams ground at 10.30, recieved a call saying called of 30 seconds early.
Franticly sought another game to attend, Charlton v Saints cool
