Is It Time To Back The Chairman?

We can only back the Chairman if he himself is completely honest with us the fans. If he is then I'm sure he'll get our complete support, but he must do right by us.

at the end of the day he is just the figurehead off the eggs who have encamped in our boardroom, as such he is a paid servant to them and proberbly has to say what they want. and more importantly we need stability now for our club!, chairmen and board of directors come and go our club is forever so for that reason i think we should ignore the politics and get behind the team.

If the only way to ensure the Malaysian deal goes through is by backing Ridsdale, then so be it. At the end of the day, all I want is to secure the future of my club. That said, I do not, I cannot trust another word from PR as time and time again he has knowingly deceived us. I'm not saying he's lied, he just hasn't told the truth. After the club is secure, I hope PR keeps to his word and goes. For the time being, I suppose it's better the devil you know.

NO!

as a default position I tend to back everyone who represents Cardiff City, Chairman, Manager, Players, Ballboys, tealady's...... personally whilst i have a passing interest in the boardroom politics and i am as keen as anyone to ensure our future is safe, however for me it's all about Saturday and the team and the football, which whilst frustrating at times is pretty good at the moment........ so I believe we do back him and everyone and have some trust...... I also believe this week has been terribly damaging to our club in washing our dirty linen in public, if any of the protagonists pretend to be Cardiff Fans and think that damaging the Chairman in public will help the club they are mistaken, it has only damaged the club. I am sure there is a level of wheeling and dealing with cashflow which doesn't need to be in the public domain. Is it acceptable for the chairman not to tell the whole truth regarding the boardroom tactics, absolutely, in every sphere of life this goes on. Do you tell your kids if a mortgage payment is missed.

If we are indeed trying to get players in through January, imagine their thoughts, do I go to Cardiff who will go bust in January and I might not get paid and worse still I cant play for three clubs in one season and therefore cannot play again this season or do I go to a club with a bit more discretion and I am oblivious to the shenanigens in the boardroom. I have read much venom aimed at Mr Ridsdale over the NOTW article. Surely this venom should be aimed at the author of this story, the thief of the said documents, these are the people currently damaging the club. Mr Ridsdale and the board, in my opinion, are working hard to secure the future of our club (and their own) and the tactics they use to get there should not be in the public domain. You dont see headlines like "Al-Qaida terrorist plot averted, information gleaned from effective torture methods", we dont need to know every detail. All we need to know it's safe to fly on a plane not the tactics used. All I need to know is where are Cardiff playing this Saurday and who is playing for them. I hope the people who damaged our club by revealing this 'story' never watch another Cardiff game

good informative posts, thank you

Dave, Its time now for Peter to speak out to all the fans and put them all in the picture in what really is going on, so far the Tax man has not been paid, I have a Business and I pay mine every month, so I can understand how City could go over 12 months without paying ? This is just 1 of 50 things that need answering.

I have always had Respect for Peter on a Personal note, but like I said to him yesterday he has to now Speak out to the Thousands and thousands of City Fans.

It has to make sense that we back him until we know the outcome of the Malaysian takeover. Once that is completed/or failed I'm sure Ridsdale will issue numerous statements to the fans.

No - every day that goes goes by our club is all the worse for his tenure.

Disagree - backing Peter 100%.

Until the tax and takeover situations are clarified I will hold back my unconditional support. I will always support the club but I just want more information. As Annis said, Ridsdale needs to give us more of an insight. Ridsdale, I am willing to support you but before I do you need to meet me halfway and give me reason to support you!

Agree with most posts, if he came out and told exactly what was going on then he would possibly have the backing of the majority of fans, but until then i feel the fans are just going to get more and more outraged.

all we ask is the truth, is that asking much ?

Not off the back of one or 2 NOTW revelations, but based on his entire reign at Cardiff City, indeed his entire career in football and business in general,it has been proven beyond any doubt he is an incompetent liar. As for how vital he is to the takeover going ahead, what proof of this do we have? Peter's word via a fan? Says it all. I want him out of our club asap and will not put a further penny into the club whilst he remains at Cardiff City.

Your either Peter or he's got his hand in your back working you

Dave, Its time now for Peter to speak out to all the fans and put them all in the picture in what really is going on.

Ridsdale spoke out to the fans at the Merthyr and Muni meetings. What good did that do?

The fact is that Peter almost always only tells us what he wants us to hear. He's a superb public speaker and a master at dealing with crowds of fans, but at the end of the day what he tells us and what is the truth are often two seperate things.

It's the same with his press interviews. They are always interesting but they rarely reveal anything of substance.

The Supporters' Trust is pressing ahead with its request for an AGM (a letter went out to the company's secretary by registered mail yesterday). If that request falls on deaf ears, steps will be taken to call an EGM. Remember, the entire board are responsible for the current situation, not just the Chairman. It's high time that all of the directors faced the shareholders and supporters and provided some answers about the current situation.

Totally agree its pointless demanding the 'truth' Ridsdale will always get the better at public meetings.

Whilst I think he should remain for now to oversee a takeover and payment of the tax issue, I also believe the Trust's efforts in pushing for either an AGM or EGM is a prudent back up plan.

Pretty much agree with all of that especially that there is nobody else that could do a better job !!!

He will stay anyway, the main question is which tactic will the malaysians use ????

Looks to me like they wil bide their time, but for how long will they keep us sweating ?????

Could they let us go into administration and buy us for a song with no debt ?????

football clubs dont work like that
the club would have to come to volountary agreement with the creditors over their outstanding debts if they dont then the points penalties become larger as in the case of leeds and southampton

Fair enough, but I know and you know he has spun his spin a bit to far now and its all caught up on him and unfortunately Our club has Suffered.
