"If Peter Ridsdale was told he was unwelcome in the Leeds United boardroom on Saturday - and my sources tell me just that - then it was pathetic behaviour on the part of the Elland Road hierarchy.
Talk about sour grapes - I just hope Ridsdale lets the incident wash over him, which I'm sure he will.
While the boom at Cardiff City should be our main concern at the moment, the incident says it all about the crumbling relic that is Leeds United.
I wasn't at Saturday's game, but seeing the attendance of 18,000 gave me a jolt. It's an appalling figure for a club of that stature in a city which is considerably larger than Cardiff.
Add to that the fact that their stadium is now an over-sized white elephant and their poor start to the season under Kevin Blackwell and things really do look grim up north.
I'd say Blackwell has one more chance: if Leeds don't win their next game, I reckon he's gone. History tells us that Ken Bates does not have that long a patience threshold."
From Dave Giles in the South Wales Echo.

The south stand and the East stand upper were closed! cardiff only brought a few fans!
Bates said Ridsdale wasn't allowed in the Boardroom anymore, not Elland road, and rightly so too! Why the hell should thatcrook be allowed in our boardroom anyway?
What a cock!

Ridsdale or the reporter?!
Couldn't agree more, well put.
He should be allowed in the stadium, let him wonder the stands and see what happens if he celebrates an opposition goal.

He wouldn't last long in the kop even if he didn't celebrate an opposition goal!

In our defense.. it's rare for anyone to agree with Gilo, only time I ever have was to do with sacking our ex manager.  |
