didn't Ridsdale do a wonderful job as chief exec?

Tue Jul 20, 2010 2:17 pm

According to todays reports on "Wales Online" we were actually losing more money than we were turning over and we have nine players yes nine players who come January can stick 2 fingers up to us and start looking for new clubs and leave for nowt at the end of the coming season unless of course they can be tied down to new contracts at this late stage, doesn't give them much incentive to play for the jersey does it? will their minds be on other things?. One question? would you sign a new contract or look for a new club and get yourself a lucrative new deal? What the f**k was this prick doing for his millions. I'll tell you what? f**k all, that's what he was doing apart from getting crazy f*cking loans with 50% interest charges to mortgage our current players. Where was the rest of the board to allow this calamity to go on for so long? tamping is not the f*cking word is it? give me your feelings on the subject and feel free to vent your anger and swear as much as you f*cking like :lol:

The whole place is a f*cking shambles. I feel sorry for Gethin as he is trying to clear up the complete and utter mess that exists there at the moment. But Ridsdale said at Leeds that he was only the figurehead of a collective decision making body and all the blame shouldn't be attached solely to him. How many times can you say this, get away with it and make people believe it's not just you culpable for the failings as a whole? This sounds like what's going on here, so I'm unsure whether to believe it was the fault of the board as a whole or was it him keeping things from the board, as he did with Dave Jones?

Hey mate they all knew what was going on they must have been deaf dumb and blind (thta's not meant as an insult to the afflicted) if they didn't know what was going on. Do they all think we came in on a f*cking banana boat yersterday or summat?

It might have been Jones' idea, but surely it was up to ridsdale to say it can't be implemented until the embargo is lifted? Ridsdale was the one who took our money knowing full well the promises would be broken

For me it was that loan of £2.5m which attracted an interest rate of 50% which summed up what a useless fat Yorkshire prick Ridsdale was. At the Muni meeting back in November he said he was worth every penny of his £350,000 wages (which was actually £400,000), so where was his 'expertise' when he negotiated that little gem?

As for the other board members I have my own theory on that. Ridsdale was always full of shit alongside his partner in crime Keith Harris. I think the pair of them strung everyone along with promises of external investment from one of Harris' contacts and that's why they were allowed to milk the club for so long whilst they assured everyone that all debts would be paid off by some ficticous Roman Abramovich type of investor who was just waiting in the wings.

At an EGM the riddler was asked if Keith Harris was being paid and he said he didn't think so. Then he added that if he was it was not 6 figures,

When we will find out the truth ?

i think you will find all those payments are hidden in the huge administrative figure in those accounts.
also hidden in there are the huge expenses claimed by the ex chairman for renting his house, restaurants etc which probably doubled his wages

The guy should not be allowed anywhere near a football club again.

The board and DJ must have known what he was up to. DJ was obviously aware of the reckless spending, his own ridiculous salary is proof.

The really sad thing is Riddler will probably con his way into another decent fooball job in the near future thank fcuk it wont be with us.
