Cardiff.....Admin again anyone..... ?

[Marshy]

I for one can see a couple of Championship sides starting on -10 next season.

 

[seagull_in_malaysia]

Why? I'm pretty sure they were bought a few years ago by a Malaysian businessman. Can't see why he'd pull out now.

 

[Bozza]

Didn't they take a punt by selling next year's season tickets very early and spending that money pretty much straight away?

Or am I imagining that?

 

[Marshy]

I think there in trouble still. Them and Coventry....just a hunch mind..

Curiously in searching for details relating to my post above, I found this very recent article...

Insolvency News - Football club chairman denies fraud charge

 

[Tooting Gull]

What more is there to say about Ridsdale, if anyone ever deserved a disrepute charge...

Wonder what is going to happen to Dave Jones now. All clubs/managers have spats with their local press, but Jones' relationship with the media in Wales is the worst I have ever seen. He is going to get slaughtered in the next few days, and he (or the board) may have had enough after six years. His main beef has been the volume of sensationalist/negative stories, and he has got a point.

As well as calling the local hacks idiots and buffoons, Jones has claimed his fierce critics among the fans are "the ones that have followed the club for five years, not 25 years", and lack perspective. Wonder if that is something that will happen down our way...

we dont dont want to may clubs to go into Admin, based upon the above it means only one place left for palarse to fight for!

Ridsdale isn't involved with Cardiff now, he was last seen at Plymouth.

Cardiff now have new Malaysian owners and have no financial worries. Not so sure about Coventry though. Don't think all is well at Fratton Park either.

And what a sterling job he did there too !

I think we all know that.

I was just surprised to read that one of NSC's favouritest villains was in court a week ago for supposed wrong-doings and I'd not seen it reported anywhere, including here.

hope they've got plenty of welsh shekels to pay for all the seats they ripped out.........bell-ends.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

In fairness to Ridsdale, he's had nothing to do with Argyle's debts, he only pitched up late in the day when it was obvious to all and sundry that they were headed into administration.

I *think* he's one of the few to have come out of the affair with any credit from Plymouth fans.

I know a couple of Plymouth fans here and they are after his blood. Would much prefer he never got involved. He was only in it for the world cup?

I would love to see Pompey start on at least minus ten points next season.

 

[severnside gull]

In fairness, had it not been for Ridsdale, Plymouth would have gone.

It was only his realisation that if they failed to pay the Inland Revenue they would become the sacrificial lamb that the taxman has been seeking for years as a way to send a football club out of business and get the rules on preferential football creditors changed. Ridsdale acted to organise the player fire-sale including Noone and Wright-Phillips which enabled the club to pay the taxman and ultimately opt for voluntary liquidation instead of forced closure.

Hate the guy for his past misdemeanours but this time his experience saved the day.

Back to Cardiff, I assume some of their better players will be on to pastures new like Bothroyd, can see a Villa/Everton type club having a punt there. Will be interesting if Bellamy comes back next season.

I haven't paid much interest to them this season, but I saw Koumas and Chopra coming on as subs last night. I have always rated Koumas and I assume he would be the sort of player whose wage demands would be coming down rather than up. I think these are the sorts of players I would like us to be looking at.

You do know they were not seats on the pitch!

Do go on....
