I AM VERY VERY WORRIED PLEASE DONT THINK ITS ALL OVERI

I am being told Ridsdale is not going easy and is fighting against going, This is from a good contact and its VERY VERY WORRYING :evil:

How can he fight against going?

I can't really see there being a position where he is the only one holding up the deal. It should be relatively easy for the rest of the board and shareholders to get rid of him if need be

Sounds like scaremongering to me!

Ridsdale wants whats best for Ridsdale, not Cardiff City FC. GREEDY FAT YORKSHIRE tw*t!.

what i dont understand is risdale is only the chairman of our club, he does not own it like sam did. So a simple vote of no confidence in him by the rest of the board is enough to remove him.

He'll still want as much as he can for his shares I reckon.

Put feck all in, take as much as he can out.

He's also CEO, a contracted role. A vote of "no confidence" won't work for that reason.

They had better not mess this chance up!!.

At the risk of being pilloried by some, doesn't this thus show the statement by the Trust / CCSC was firmly aimed at the wrong target?

Re: I AM VERY VERY WORRIED PLEASE DONT THINK ITS ALL OVERI

Fri Mar 19, 2010 7:58 pm

Clearly then, we need to up our protesting.

We have to make his life hell. So much so that he'll be willing to take 9p(?) a share to get away from the place.

If he insists on digging his heels in and turns up at the game Sunday, i.e if he hasn't walked by then, he needs to have both barrels boys!.

Why don't you round up some of our lads from the 80s and 90s and pop round to visit him at his house. I'm sure yourself, Mallo etc could persuade the riddler to leave S Wales.....

Re: I AM VERY VERY WORRIED PLEASE DONT THINK ITS ALL OVERI

I hope this doesn't mess up, he shouldn't be allowed to be at any more clubs, ever. As CEO though I believe you are correct, that as this is a contracted positon a vote of no confidence would not overide his contract...... you would need to check this on UK law, however it didn't work so no point worrying about it at this point. I think just step up the campaign against him (if this is possible), and somewhat we have to hope at some point Riddler does the right thing.......I hope this works out....

It just wouldn't be Cardiff City if it wasn't difficult would it! :evil:

Surely he could be sacked for gross professional misconduct-telling fans to get lost, misleading shareholders, financial mismanagement, fraud, being a tw*t.....

Just goes to show that they should have gotton rid of him it the egm. I think its time to make his life hell. He is taking the piss :evil:

Cant they get the police in, been as he's been cooking the books, and get rid of him that way?

Re: I AM VERY VERY WORRIED PLEASE DONT THINK ITS ALL OVERI

Fri Mar 19, 2010 8:08 pm

IS he on a rolling contract like DJ.IF SO I CAN SEE BOTH GOING IF WE DONT GO UP.
IF DJ IS ON 15K AND PAULO WHATS IS NAME IS ON 3K IT DOESNT TAKE A GENIUS TO WORK OU WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE ROLLING CONTRACTS HAVE ROLLED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.
LIKE THE LAND DEAL THE SOLICITORS ARE INVOVLED THAT TAKES TIME.
IF ITS GOING TO BE NEW MONEY ,NEW SHARES WIL HAVE TO BE ISSUED,THAT WONT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

Shame we cannot emply a Malaysian "Head Chariman" of the club who overseas all decisions and the chairman - and just tells PR what he is goin to do and where he is allowed to take a p!$$ unti the end of the season then he can f@@k off without a pay off!

To remove him as CEO, he'd either have to quit the role or be fired.

I suspect he isn't doing the former, so it relies upon the latter. Unless there can be clear evidence for termination of contract, he'll thus be liable for severance renumeration as per contract.

I suspect any roadblock would revolve around a settlement on that severance pay. With the threat to take the club to court if fired, tying us up with legal costs etc.

they could put him on garden leave

Re: I AM VERY VERY WORRIED PLEASE DONT THINK ITS ALL OVERI

Fri Mar 19, 2010 8:14 pm

He's just a lying greedy b*stard.

He said if someone wants to come and buy Cardiff City FC, and the deal is [b]right for the football club [/b]I will walk away.

What he meant was if the deal was good for him.

He'd still get paid for that gardening leave. He'd then have to be sacked eventually, so you're back at the same issue. It's allegedly a rolling contract, so could it theory continue till he dies... hence at some point a severance agreement needs to occur.

Ridsdale wanted to leave after the new stadium was here, and he managed to pull investment in....... MY ASS!

He's just an awquard tw*t who's doing no good to his own CV at the moment.... He has given nothing to the club or us for that matter, he's blocking this investment (or so he likes to think) and turning everyone against him, He probably knows his days as a chairman and in football are numbered and is using CCFC to rape as much as he can out of it at the moment....to secure his long term future.

What about this WH Sports business? when does his dues have to be paid for that?

He's putting up his last stand, but the only one on the floor at the end of all this - is himself.
