Ok hes messed up, but lets remember he is human too, i think its best just to chill and let nature take its course of business without hassling him anymore, hes clearly at breaking point by the responses hes sending fans.

The sad thing is as a person he is probably a nice bloke. He just has no financial accumen.

No-one would argue he deserves it, but Daya is right we shouldn't get involved by sending abusive texts and emails.

It seems Borley and Guy have played it right and the Taffia is about to make another killing.

Leave it to the 'professionals' :lol:

Never been one for the personal abuse but we can only hope tomorrow brings to much pressure for him to bare - AGREE LEAVE THE TAFFIA GET THEIR MAN

Whatever everybodies thoughts regards his football actions, there is no point pushing a man over the edge personally, mentaly, he has family and daughters.

Leave it now simply down to businessmen to deal with business and shareholders with their votes.

I watched him take the text messages bombard him at Newcastle after the final whistle, must have been 30 odd in 30 seconds.



Time to leave it to the board, if you have anti feelings then join a public demo or trust or something but to lay into him directly when hes probably on the edge is not fair game.

Jones is even slagging him off now ( is there anyone he doesnt :lol: ) saying hes been let down..... he didnt say that when Ridders gave him his contract!

He tries to please by promising big things and big contracts. He has been lucky in his tenure at ccfc as he inherited a squad of players worth lots of money plus we have had some amazing cup draws and runs.

his biggest weakness is his utter business incompetence and complete lack of moral fibre in taking an exhorbitant wage, rewarding himself for failure. He deserves everything that's coming. If you thought the fans abuse was bad wait till you see what the press are about to unleash!

Both are closely tied. They have both publically backed each other Ridsdale many a time has stood in Daves Corner and more recently Dave has done likewise in favour of Ridsdale. If one is forced out, then the other may well swiftly follow (sacked by association), particularily if the Malaysians takeover or invest heavily. Surely they will want their own man in.

I agree with Daya here and hope that everyone takes heed.

I have had regular contact with PR but have never abused him and been insulting towards him.

I have posted in another thread that the plan is coming to fruition and it must be dealt with by the correct people.

He has lost the confidence (if he ever had it) of the fans. It seems he has lost the confidence of shareholders and at least one Director, who it seems could be plotting against him. His position has become untenable now. Why does he not just do the honourable thing and resign.

The plan may well be to oust Ridsdale.

If the plan is achieved more quickly by Ridders quitting, well, end of the day, a better result for us.

As for Ridsdale, well, may well be a nice guy yadda yadda, but unfortunately totally incompetent. I'd not trust him to clean my cat's litter tray.

Nice guy... giving jobs to people with connections through Leeds.
Nice guy... doesn't pay the bills.
Nice guy... taking this club to the brink.

Certainly enough financial acumen to line his pockets beyond a level justified for a business the size of CCFC. Maybe not so stupid!?
