Here, doing a stirling job, not repeated any mistakes whatsoever, god no, see, it was really the pesky major shareholders. They told him to spend high on wages, not address the wage / income differential. They gave him chinese burns, see, he really wanted to run the club on a tight fiscal basis.
Of course PMG are covering their arses, getting money back. To point to them as the real reason for the financial meltdown is a farcical notion...

Ridsdale's been the well-paid front man, and now he is the well-paid fall guy. It was bound to happen to happen eventually.
You don't seriously believe this whole business is down to one man, do you?
Ask yourself this question: how many stadium and retail development projects has Mr RP Ridsdale previously been involved in? And how many projects of that type have the club's major shareholders been involved in?
Who is more likley to have taken the lead here - the bloke who used to sell socks or the men who build shops?

Nerd, PMG AND PR are as guilty as each other in my eyes

I've been telling you for months and months and months and months that there is a much bigger picture here. I'm guessing Sam has been telling you that too. He's seemed to know the score whenever I've talked to him in recent months.
You seem to want to treat this whole thing as a pantomine, where are the bullets are aimed at one villain alone. That's absolutely ridiculous in my view.
My meetings with Ridsdale (on behalf of the Trust) have often been revealing, but not necessarily because of what is said during them. It's who I have seen coming and going before and after them that has been of equal interest. In my opinion, anyone who thinks one man has brought about this situation and it will all be resolved if he slings his hook is living in cloud cuckoo land.

I'm not the f*cking spokesman for the Trust and I'm not sticking up for Ridsdale. He can do that for himself. I'm merely saying I believe there is a much bigger picture here. Personally, I reckon you'd have to be as thick as shit not to spot it.

I don't know. You'd have to ask the board that. They are backing him at present, as we saw at the EGM.

1) I'm the membership secretary at present. However, that doesn't mean to say I'm speaking for the Trust 24/7. When I do speak for the Trust, I make it 100% clear.
2) Along with several other colleagues fromthe Trust, I meet with club officials in order to discuss the issues that affect our members. That's one of the main reasons fro the Trust's existence.
3) Plenty has been said at these meetings. Sometimes they last four hours. When they are formal meetings, they are minuted and reported back to Trust members, but I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and say you're obviously not one of them.
4) I'm not sticking up for Ridsdale. And the Trust have never met with PMG.

Perhaps, but evidently Borley and Co don't think his departure at this particulat point in time is a good idea. My guess is we will see a shake-up either as a result of a takeover or during the close-season if a takeover hasn't happened before then.
you guys will do nothing to stop him (as usual), so I'll bid you gentlemen a good evening.

Where did i say i believe it??? You bring this on yourself by not denying allegations as you feel you shouldnt have too. A trait of Peter Ridsdale.
