this joker should be run out of Cardiff not given praise ffs!!

WTF !!!!! Who wrote this ??

Prob PR

I wrote this but it got removed:
100% disagree.

Pistol Pete has raped our club for everything he possibly could. This man likes to use Sam Hammam as a reason why we're up poop creek but that is a smokescreen to hide his own failures.

How has the Sam H era held our club back? Only £88k has been paid to Sam H since the Riddler took over so no money has been coming out of the club to service the debt.

It wasn't Sam who's been taking a HUGE salary out of the club when at the same time not paying local businesses when bills fall due.

It wasn't Sam who handed out HUGE contracts to former superstars and average players.

Under Pistol Pete attendances and income has increased yet so have our debts.

He sold Ramsey, Roger J, Gunter & Loovens for millions yet it's all dissapeared. Where did it all go?

And let's not even start on the whole golden season ticket scam.

This man has just fed us lie after lie. All he cares about is publicising himself - who do you think gave today's story to The Sun, Echo and BBC? All he cares about is repairing his image after destroying a great football club in Leeds.

Ok, I agree that he got the stadium built however Sam H did the groundwork and Borely worked day and night to get the thing finished yet Pistol Pete takes all the credit - that just doesn't seem right to me.

He has been a plague and I cannot wait to see the back of him. He won't get a thank you from me.





  

do not bother as it will be removed we all know the truth Ridler has made a deal with BBC by the looks of it.

To be honest he has done such a great job I think he should go back to Leeds as chairman as he is such a great man or let him run the BBC not bothered where he goes as long its far away from Cardiff City FC

Just gave my five pence worth it's with the moderators, I wonder if they will post it up No swearing mind I removed all the norty words

This was my reply - dont think it will get on somehow - took it from my "Transparent my arse" thread plus a few additions:-

Heres an epitaph:-

1. Doesn't pay his personal taxes
2. Doesn't pay the company (Cardiff City FC) taxes until pressurised to do so by several winding up orders even though it's a historical debt, so he says, which has been around since he first joined the club. Pay it instead of awarding youself bonuses man.
3. Doesn't pay creitors and threatens them with non payment if they try winding us up
4. Bans the press every five minutes if they dont print anything he likes
5. Awards himself massive bonuses and takes them out of club coffers at the expense of creditors
6. Lies to the clubs customers (fans) i.e telling us he is buying players out of our season ticket money when he knows we were under a transfer embargo since last autumn
7. Economical with the truth when negotiating investment with Malaysians i.e didnt inform them of tax issue
8. Fined for not filing accounts on time
9. fined for not paying taxes on time
10. Can't comment on Winding up orders,money owed to creditors or the transfer embargo to clubs owner i.e shareholders at the EGM cos its "too sensitive"
11. Unable to register a ditrector with companies house bacause he can't fill in a simple form correctly
12. Won't allow peaceful demonstrations inside stadium. Stewards acting like gestapo. Is this a free country or what?
13. Getting stewards to stop fans going outside the ground to get refreshments etc i.e trying to force us to pay excessive prices inside the ground
14. Cant even stock the club shop properly, rugby side of it puts us to shame
15. Sacking anybody whose face he doesn't like and replacing them by Giving jobs to the boys all on massive wages
16. Threatening fans, newspapers and messageboards with writs if they have the temerity to question his view of events at the club
17. Even tries to give the players a dressing down after a match undermining the clubs manager
18. The now infamous "verbal agreement" with Jimmy Floyd Hassailbank costing god knows how much to the club
19. Taken in by Ben Steele, some geezer looking for a free Jolly
20. Putting statements on club website bad mouthing a fan who has put more into this club than he ever would. Then withdrwaing what could be described as a defamatory piece of writing within fifteen minutes
21. Telling us millions had been invested by TG at the Muni meeting in Novemeber when in actual fact it was only £200,00
22. Sold over £24 million worth of players in his time here yet hasn't paid a penny off the debt to Langstone in that time (wheres the money gone)
23. Goes £7 million over budget on stadium, which by the way is still not yet completed yet takes a stadium completion bonus into the hundreds of thousands out of the club
24. Has claimed that we are cash positive now we are in the new stadium, well why aint we paying anyone then?
25. Signing players on massive contracts, which we are paying at the expense of the tax man and creditors.
26. Makes statements about players like Ledley (Joe Ledley “playing like he's somewhere else”) four weeks before he's due to become a free agent to choose another Club, laughable, how unprofessional is that?
27. Once the Langston deal is signed it will free up funds for player recruitment as there will be no threat of a court case to budget for - was that a joke Peter?
28. Insists he's worth every penny of his £350,000 salary is he taking the mickey or what?
29. Freely gives out his email adress and telephone number however when someone asks a valid question replies with a get lost or similar. Change your email adress and phone number if you cant answer questions properly
30. Someone attempts to question you in the stadium and you tell them to "eff off" - isn't that a charming reply for a chairman
31. Doesn't know how much Keith Harris a fellow director is being paid
32. The 777ball sponsorship fiasco the less said the better
33. The overriding feature of his tenure though is that the overall debt of the club continues to rise even though we have a fantastic new stadium and 20,000+ average home crowd attendance, sold all the clubs assets, mortgaged all the current players and sokld about £24 million worth of players and we have winding up orders coming out of our ears - sheer madness.
34. tells his fellow directors that we are getting fowler , jfh and sinclair for 25k a week total and it turned out to be double.
35. Players getting paid late for the past 4 months
36. Never put a penny of his own money into the club just take take take all the time.
37. Has a £700,000 bonus written into his contract if we get to the Premier League, which by the way was not authorised by the whole board of directors
38. Took a £100,000 bonus recently when in fact local businesses continue to be unpaid putting local jobs at risk and still as of today the tax has not been paid and if the Malaysians pull out of this deal we are the subject of a HMRC winding up order as early as next week in which the judge commented at the latest hearing if the tax bill is not cleared and paid in full we will be wound up i.e we will not exist, closed down, no more footy at the CCS.

Need I go on with any more? good riddance to bad stuff I say. Dont wave on your way out and dont take any plaudits because without the Malaysians rescuing us (who by the way have been negotiating investment with Steve Borley not Peter Ridsdale due to his untrustworthiness) the history of Cardiff City Football club would end pretty soon. Rant over!!! <laugh>

Brilliant

Every bit of what you said is true but don't expect the BBC police to allow it on there lol.

My post was quite tame, but they never printed that either. Wankers.
