ANOTHER RIDSDALE LEGACY

Wed Jul 07, 2010 5:54 pm

Ledley should never been able to run his contract down, Weighing out heavy contracts to the likes of Hudson, when he should have been sorting out Joe with a good " top up" .

Daya a shambles from Ridsdale - we could have offered Joe 15k a week and a 250k signing fee a year ago which I guess might have cost us as a club signicantly less than a million quid and guaranteed us a fee of around 4/5 million if Ledley had rediscovered his form of 2 years ago - instead he spent the money on the useless tw*t of a club captain we now cannot pay for. :evil:

Thing is Ridsdale was only concerned about next week -no thought for the future whatsoever.

I thought Ledley was offered another contract at the start of last season or sometime around there?

Hudson was signed after Joe's contract issue was already in full flow. However the ridiculous contracts given to Fowler, Hasselbaink and Sinclair and nothing offered to Joe was nothing short of scandalous.

I agree , why should Joe sign a contract for a deal that might not be right for him just to bail us out - if he'd been offered a decent top up by the club with a get out clause last summer then it wouldn't have mattered where he went.

Joe Ledley did not get us in this amount of debt and I think "somebody "may have been complacent last summer thinking they would sell him last summer and it never happened!

Let's be honest here , the problem isn't where Joe is going but it is the amount of debt we have !!

Good luck Joe
