From reading some topics on CCMB a 'small' minority seem to have been reassurred by the EGM and espeically TLG's report. Personally I can understand how they feel that way because I did the same after attending the Muni Club, where I left feeling reassurred after listening to Ridsdale's waffle.

However, because of that experience I would never trust him again and I suppose it is a matter of finding out the hard way for some of the others who still believe in him.

looking at your probs from the outside down the road (jack) cant believe some of the idiots who still think your board is doing a worthwhile job,hope your protest starts the ball rolling on removing them but i think the only way to hurt them is in the pocket moneywise.

I can't believe a word he has to say, but I want to. I think I believe the board more than the Riddler, but I just can't bring myself to. Maybe if it was only this club he has been part of in terms of financial troubles, then maybe. But with Leeds and Barnsley under his belt, I just can't.

I hate to say it but to put it in perspective let's compare Swansea's board with ours. As much as I find Huw Jenkins irritating I'd rather him as a chairman with his board (or a Bluebirds version shall I say!) than our lot.

I think those who still back Ridsdale are the hopefuls. They still believe he can help. I don't believe he should go because right now we're not in a position to cope without him but to be honest I don't know any of the facts really so I can't tell. Ideally, he'd go now and the Malaysians or someone else comes in.

I'm just fed up of referring to the Malaysians as if they're a random object and not genuine investors.

Annis I think the club is ran badly at the moment and am not his biggest fan. However doesn't own the biggest share in the club and have a feeling that the real money men fleecing our club know that by him fronting the club because of his reputation he will take all the flak. I think in the bigger picture its not all PR's fault he is a puppet for the board to control. Like I said I'm not a fan of PR but im also not a fan of PMG. I think that they are the main decision makers and we should start to pressure them. Just think we are blinkered into P Ridsdale because of the statements and promises but the rest of the board I think are paying him to send out their messages!

I've come round to that point of view too. The real villains are PMG who saw an opportunity to make big bucks from a generous deal offered by the Council. They got the stadium built cheap without having to fund much of it themselves and have made millions from the retail park. Now they will also profit from the hotel land. I think PMG and their friends in business have now made as much as they can from Cardiff City and are ready to walk away, regardless. It's been very convenient to them (and still is) to have Ridsdale out at the front taking all the flak for them and I'll admit I fell for it too. I've been wading into him without realising that he's just the nominated punch bag. We need new owners desperately but much as I hate PMG and the Board of Directors they hide behind, there's no-one waiting in the wings trying to take over is there? If this Board went today, we'd be in Admin tomorrow.

regardless of how you feel about PMG without their input in the last few years financially we would have gone bust.

i must admit i backed him until the end of the transfer window, i foolishly believed everything he said at the brunswick and the municiple club , maybe i wanted to believe him to much, 'debt free in a year' what a load of sh*t, live and learn again

Thread on there about Annis (some jumped up keyboard warrior calling him Anus Abraham, well done kid ) and right at the end someone's posted "Doesn't Wayne Nash have a history (of hooliganism)" That shut them all up.


Jesus though, looking through that board I feel sick, I'm gonna have to start posting on there again as some of them are utter morons who need sorting out.

I just had a read - what a bunch of planks!

I've read enough about this agrument that a protest won't achieve anything so what's the point - ffs the point is to show the board and the rest of the UK that the fans are not happy with what going on at the club. We don't expect a regime change as a result of it. Do they think all those millions of people who protested against the Iraq war wasted they're time? They stood up for what they believed in and we'll be doing the same.  

I honestly believe, no matter what happend in the world, these muppets would be content sitting back doing sweet fa cos 'they couldn't make a difference'. That atitude annoys me so much. People have died fighting for our right to protest and for our civil liberties. Every person, no mater how small of a thing you do, can make a difference.

If there was no City tomorrow, they'd get over it and go back to supporting the big 4 via MOTD. The club is more than 'just somewhere we go on a saturday afternoon'. Perhaps we should drop down to league one, at least these   Wasters will do one.

I may I've gone slightly off topic.......  


P.S
And to the cheeky fookers who are saying there'll be no more than 150 people there - JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!!!

I don't like Ridsdale one bit, the guys a serial liar in my book but he's only part of the problem.
Getting rid of Ridsdale is not going to be the panacea to all our problems. As others have said we have owners with no interest in the club and we as fans can't force new buyers into the club, so we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

That is true, however does that mean we should just sit back and leave them to it?

We have to continually show them we're not happy. Without it's fans there is no football club. Our board seem to have forgotten this.

The majority of fans are not backing the protest but that doesn't mean people are backing Ridsdale. The target of any protests shouldn't be one man, it's the whole board. However, there's no credible alternatives at this time.

First and foremost, I'm backing the team. For most fans this is the priority. We're still top six in the league and any disruption could be detrimental to what happens on the pitch.

Simple really.

I was backing him until the egm purley because I think it could be worse without him right now, kind of like he got us into this mess he has to work us out of it. But now after the EGM I want him and the board out asap.

they just pulled the link must have been summit i said

Exactly the same,backed him until the transfer window.

as it did last sat.really simple.

Im behind the board as I believe its in the best interest although I dont trust certain ones! If im honest the thing that gets me is not the fact that ridsdale its that theres someone being paid by CCFC and hes trying to engineer a takeover for man utd!!! WTF!!! I think we must back the board at present until we know whats going on with investment etc!

Steve , from your posts I know you are more informed and better at business matters than me. I'm a steelworker who knows nothing of the business world , but you post has made me wonder that if you want to keep milking a cow then you have to keep feeding it ?
