Ridsdale Out

He's a fat leech sucking upon a dying corpse.

Why hasn't he been kicked out yet? Apart from a past history at being an utter prick at 3 other clubs in the Football League already, what does he bring to the table that is so unique to him?

Get him the f*ck out.

What are you talking about. He has been working tirelessly to find a solution!

Whether it has been wasting 4 months hoping that a potless property developer and owner of another football club, somehow finds £6 million somewhere or jetting out to Monaco to speak to the previous owner of Oxford United, whose form includes buying their old ground from them for £6 million and then selling it for development for £12 million.

I think you should apologise to Mr Ridsdale, because without him there would be no PAFC!!!!!!

I think he helped in the fact that he realised that the 7 fuckwitts (notably Keith 'I've been to 2 Argyle games' Todd) didn't have a clue which led to the firesale of the players in January.

Since then, I don't think anyone can justify a £25k/ month wage from a near bankrupt club. The administration process, run by his mate Gulfoyle, has been a complete shambles. I would hope once Brent/ Buttivant take over, that Argyle would wave goodbye to Ridders and appoint a football administrator with realistic wage demands.

I'm torn between the two of you there. I acknowledge the work he's done but I just can't escape the feeling he's done it simply for his own ends, I also don't like him as a human being. That's not a nice thing to say but that's how it is.

I can see him being a figure of begrudging acceptance under James Brent. I'll have to accept him on the understanding than instead of using Argyle for his own ends Argyle will be using him for their own ends...........getting the value from his years of experience in the 'dark arts' of football survival.

If he b*ggered off though i'd not shed many tears.

What work?

He came to club claiming that he was first on a walking holiday, then representing a group of people interested in a football club and asministration wasn't an option. Then it was. Then he was going to walk away, then he walked back.

I see is now 'advising' Bill kenwright? Good go and mess them about instead.

Irrespective of motive PD, I don't think the NWO were capable of mounting a defence at the end and without Ridders Argyle would have been liquidated.

The reduction of the HMRC debt below 25% was something we never knew mattered and as the NWO didn't even realise they were in court on one occasion i'm sure they didn't have the wit or intelligence to find that out either. HMRC have been looking to make an example for years, it would have been us.

Since then however it's all been about nest feathering.

Just bear in mind that without Ridsdale there may not have been a football club at all.

That said, I'm not sure if I want him involved in the future.

There is no way of proving that though.

If HMRC had appointed their own adminsitrator and Brent stepped forward offering them an exit route, things could have worked out differentlly. We might still be liquiidated.

Can't argue with that, there's no way of proving most of what is speculated upon on supporters messageboards. We can but see what's happening and form an opinion. In my opinion I reckon HMRC would have nailed us.

Oh come on Smiffo, you can't still believe that nonsense.
If HMRC had got their way, they would have put in their own "independent" administrator and we wouldn't have had the ludicrous Guilfoyle/Heaney/Ridsdale pre pack attempt. Pro football clubs are always worth more to the creditors as going concerns than dead ducks.
Justice would have been short and sweet, the previous owners would have had to take their hit, and we would be well out of the mire by now.... and without a £1m admin bill. Ridsdale's job wasn't to save the club ... the club's survival was a given, it was to save the money of Mastpoint, Wrathall etc.

See the post above, can't argue with anything you say, it's just my opinon, no more provable or disprovable than yours.

For a second there, I thought I was listening to Roy Gardner.
That lovely democratic man Putin ( who most certainly isn't, or couldn't, or wouldn't still be running the country, would he ? ) is revisiting Stalin's role in Russia's history.
According to the "Ex President", Stalin is now a good guy all of a sudden, a hard man ... but neccessary..... jeeez. Can't wait for Pol Pot to be lauded by the Nobel peace bunch.

I'm well old enough to understand now that emotionally like minds stick together ... it often overrides logic and certainly overrides constructed 'morality' ... the only problem is to avoid the contemporary arrows of your enemies when the planets are not in your favour ...... Peter Ridsdale 2012

Ridsdale has done what he had to do to squeeze as much puss as possible before the abscess was finally lanced, once that’s done he’ll move onto the next club/business and continue to draw its blood like a parasitical, self serving bacteria that he is. He would describe it as business, I would describe it as legal immoral injustice, the country is full of this disgusting type of character that practice dealings that most of us would consider immoral and although it maybe lawful, it doesn’t make it right.

The quicker the tw@t is gone the better and if he takes his Pasoti Trust mates with him, so-be-it.

If Ridsdale deserves 25k a month for saving the club, then what should Posty’s rate be?

A coronation followed by carriage around the kingdom of Home Park as we throw ourselves at his feet and thrust our daughters towards his hareem if yesterdays "you should be grateful to the 5,000 for keeping Argyle alive" is to be believed.

Yeah, i'm really grateful you've kept Ridsdale in salary all these months while the staff have seen the square route of f**k all.

I'm truly grateful for the warm applause you gave Ridsdale at the Vigil and thrust a paw through your beards to shake his hand.

Thanks, which of my daughters would you like first or shall I prepare them both .

I just cant believe that people welcomed Ridsdale to the club. Leopards don't change their spots. Utterly predictable.

Nothing about Plymouth fans surprises me any more.

There ain't nothing like a fanfest Janner.

There might be a God-

"Meanwhile, Mr Ridsdale's future at Home Park appears uncertain.

He reportedly met with Everton owner Bill Kenwright last week – and The Herald has learned Mr Ridsdale, who would acquire Argyle for £1 under the Bishop International deal, was due to meet figures from other English football clubs in London this morning."

The *****wallet lovers were all trusting in stapes while deriding Cardiff and the riddler. Then as quick as you like they were all trusting in the riddler - hard working gentleman who save Argyle. You couldn't make it up.

At least this is a good sign heaney and BIL are no more.
