Ridsdale spin machine in full motion

Sat Mar 06, 2010 9:26 am

Ridsdale said: “Two groups have already been scared away. That’s absolutely true. One of them said, ‘Peter given what you’ve done for the club, what would they do to us? We just don’t need that, we’re not going to invest in a sporting organisation where they do that.’”

Name the two groups Peter?? lets put it out there be honest and lets have facts rather than claims.

I highly doubt fans marching against an incompetent chairman/board are the reason they're being scared away. By this, I mean, the fans aren't directly the reason they're being scared away.

They're being scared away because we have to resort to marching against out incompetent chairman/board and thinking 'f**k that!'

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought he'd done some washing!!!

I thought the same thing when I read the Echo, too. It's all bollocks trying to scare away the people who are a little undecided about joining us on the march. He's getting really worried about this march and his increasingly precarious position at the club. Why else would he be releasing all this in the media and on the club's website?

Rooster, I can confirm the 2 parties were Elvis Presley and Lord Lucan. Now don't doubt what Mr Ridsdale says isn't true again...

They told him they'd been scared off as they were riding round Asda's on Shergar stacking the shelves. It's true, he told me in the telegram he said he'd sent to me

I'm sorry but this man is delusional, investors scared away by the incompetance of the board, the debt they've allowed to mount up and the spin that is put on everything. Not us, the supporters, we've been really patient afew banners and chants to show our concern thats all. Mr R must be really worried about the protest to print such rubbish. :twisted:

Spin, Spin, Spin. Peter I think the only one scaring investors away is YOU! Isnt it true that you were lying to the Malaysians and it only through other board member that they are still looking at the club.

I wonder what 'potential investors' read the Echo or browse websites such as this, because that's the only way they can get information on the march. It's been in the local press with the advert, of course, and on the local TV and media, but I doubt whether people with the kind of financial clout we need would see any of it

Ben Steele and the non-existent Americans. :lol:

Strange how neither of these supposed investors being scared off has been mentioned until the day of the march isn't it?

If they were scared off it's because they managed to get a look at the club finances and saw what a monumental f**k up has been made by the current board.

if they were scared off by the small (but passionate) protests there have been before today then they would' not have the fortitude to sort out the absolute shambles the club has become anyway so f**k them.

"Peter, given what you've done to the club, what would they do to us?"

Well seeing as Ridsdale has misled us, taken millions of pounds out of the club, overspent massively on the stadium, failed to pay the taxman, failed to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds to creditors, taken our season ticket money on false pretences
etc we can confrim that as long as any future owner is HONEST and TRUTHFUL with us they would be hard pressed to find a more supportive bunch of supporters.

These imaginary investors, if they actually exist, have obviously not taken enough of an interest in our club to see what has been happening recently or they would be only too aware what ridsdale has "done for the club".

The man is a grade one tw*t.
