"FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 4:32 pm

PR met DJ first and spoke at long lengths at what was going wrong.

DJ was then invited at the last moment to the meeting, but kept his mouth shut through out.

PR Ripped in to the players beyond belief and said "Its The First Time in 20 Years I Have Had to Do This"

Your a Disgrace, you loose to little Clubs, I am getting this Club in Debt by paying you all high wages.
I have received over 500 emails, phone calls,texts from Angry Fans.
I run this Club .
If You Dont Want to play for Cardiff City SAY NOW and PUT YOUR SELF ON THE TRANSFER LIST.
Apparently he continued on and on and ripped in to them.

MY OPINION, Fair Play to Him, THEY NEEDED TO BE TOLD :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

About time the gutless wankers got told

Great to hear this Annis, at least players know the score now. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of the "cocky" boys depart in january. Regards to Jo, hope you all had a good xmas, Liam

I've had enough! Gutless bastards!

CCFC is run differently to successful clubs like say, Hull, Burnley, Stoke. The culture at CCFC from the bottom to the top, or should I say, from the top to the bottom, is easy come, easy go. Money is thrown around like confetti, everyone thinks like big-time Charlies, and the culture has spread to the playing staff.

We've been here before. Last season's collapse was as much a symptom of management as it was the players' attitudes. We were told 'never again', but here we are - dreadful gutless performances already this season, and now this.

You almost feel grateful when the team puts in a good shift.

Fair enough, but when is he going to rip into Dave?

I honestly get the feeling that as long as PR is chairman, DJ will never get sacked.

Bring on the Malaysians I say.

Fully agree. The players needed to be told and so does Jones in no uncertain terms.

I hope the dour scouser also left with a flea in his ear and a reminder of his duties and obligations to those of us who travel far and wide at great expense and who, let's face it don't ask that much in return, just a bit of passion, professionalism and pride in the shirt.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Am i the only one that has doubts that this actually happened and may just be PR making up storys to appease the fans??

Bollocks... first time in 20 years my arse, so Leeds, Barnsley never fooked up.

Treating players like schoool kids nah... not the way, the ones i spoke to today said they sat there thinking " wanker" whos he to talk about failure.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:25 pm

Ridsdale feeling the heat if this bunch of players dont get him to the Premiership he will be exposed as the club goes bust.

Hatrick for Ridsdale of bust clubs. Once again blaming others.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:27 pm

I can't help but feel a little sceptical/ cynical about all this too. Even if it did happen as documented, why the hell is the Chairman doing the managers job?! I'm growing ever incredulous at the incompetence of our management, and this from someone who until this summer was a staunch fan of both Jones & Ridsdale.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:30 pm

Ridsdale in panic mode, not Jones fault .

I don't think it would be the first time.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:33 pm

it happened but from what i heard ridsdale made a cock of himself with his showmanship, how can Mr Failure lecture success.

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:34 pm

It's good that he did this of course, but IMO Dave Jones deserves the blame too.

Even if the players did ignore him, part (a big part) of management is about making sure the players respect you enough to listen to you.

Any team that loses a 4 goal lead in 45 minutes cannot solely be a case of players switching off. That must be the fault of the manager too.

If Dave Jones really did start with the players by saying "You're all w*****s", then Ridsdale ripping into them too will just (IMO) make the players turn against Jones and Ridsdale.

Ridsdale supports Jones 100%.

Meaning that if Jones is doing a crap job (which we know he will), the players can't do anything about it since Ridsdale won't listen.

That's my opinion anyway. I.e. it's good that Ridsdale did this, but Dave Jones deserves most of the blame IMO.

Ridsdale probably interferes with team selections and tactics and Jones being the man he his will take the rap!!!!!! ;)

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:38 pm

Ridsdale is busting another club hes desperate now interfering in everything. Jones the players do respect not the chairman

the fact this has leaked onto a messageboard for one shows whatis thought of the Riddler by the players how else would it get on here

Re: "FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS"

It did happen and it never came from PR.
