Ridsdale leaving!

According to the BBC.

Off to make a few bob from Truro I expect!

Three months is a long time in football. Anyroad the Xmas markets in Coventry are suppossed to be worth a visit.

Now where have I heard this before, how many times had Ridsdale been leaving now?? I personally wouldn't be surprised one bit if he's still here way into the new year.

I forgot about all that. Wasn't that when the money from Kagami was supposed to be coming through?

Can we afford to lose the hard working gentleman ?
Do you think we should have a collection and buy him a pen ? Or do we only do that for managers who have at one time been famous ? Staring at planes and famous people, a speciality of the Avivas.

Looks like all snouts will be firmly buriend in Brent's arse for the forseeable future.

You're a bit late Tring, we've started the bucket rattling on this, the best site in the whole wide world where were all mates and all that.

I won't be touching the club with a bargepole until he has actually left. The guy is always promising and threatening to leave when it suits, he's the master of sliding agendas and fending off acute pressure to some time in the future. He knows how unpopular he is and could well be playing for time. It could also be the case that Brent can't afford to pay him what he wants in the long term.... nobody really knows but Ridsdale and Brent themselves.

He's been supposedly going several times ... he's been here a year now, and he's going to be here for at least another 3 months... that's bad news in my book.

"If you sack Reid we will give you an extra few months employment"

He will be here as long as there's dosh kicking about, we can all be sure of that. Still, he can always aim for a position on the Trust, I'm sure he knows the "right" people

Which ever way it's dressed up, Ridsdale is staying on, so all the winking and the "we'll get rid of him as soon as the club is sold" was indeed the nonsense it was always going to be, considering where it came from.
And now that he's staying and shortly to be in favour, the latest revisionism is Ridsdale hasn't been paid. Of course, when Ridsdale was aligned with Heaney, he had been paid ..... both stories from the same old bunch that have been so wrong over so many years.
So if no one has been paid, where have all the season's receipts gone so far ?..... just kinda asking like. Of course, it's a fine line between paying wages or salaries, and paying someone through a different method.

I was always under the impression that Ridsdale was drawing a wage from P&A though?

Exactly Peter. So, Guilfoyle et al can state that Ridsdale has "received the same percentage from the club the administered PAFC, but that's not the same thing as P and A paying him for his services as an admin assistant... that's quite seperate. Guilfoyle will be receiving his 'pay' as normal, as will everyone else at P and A ..... they are not PAFC.
Given the shambles, it would appear a big proportion of the season's receipts so far have been flooding into P and A's account to cover their own arses... Ridsdale may well be recompenced out of that seperately from the PAFC payroll.

So he's being paid twice for doing the same job? You really couldn't make this up.

As for matchday income and season ticket money which was supposed to be ring fenced, surely P&A pocketing it is illegal?

Not sure where you're going with that Peter. No one is accusing anyone of doing anything illegal. I am merely pointing out the possibility that P and A might be remunerating Ridsdale seperately as an admin help. Also, it's never been said in what official payroll capacity, Ridsdale has worked for PAFC ... he might be a contracted consultant for all we know, that wouldn't come under the payroll... in fact I have always assumed he was never on the 'payroll'.
Nobody knoews, and it just shows all the rumours regarding his remuneration are just that ... rumours ... including today's rumour that he hasn't been paid any more than the staff.
