ANOTHER CCFC DOWNTURN, FANS TO MEET PETER RIDSDALE

It's not without irony that Cardiff City players have wrongly got their heads up their arses to boycott all news media (an argument they won't win, they should have made their point a different way) when the only crap I've read in newspapers recently have been words of (non) wisdom uttered by Dave Jones and Peter Ridsdale. With rare exception, they have been negative, whingeing and wanting to blame anyone, everyone and everything ... except themselves of course.
To raise the white flag for the second successive season with barely a fight having worked to get into play-off contention is a choker. That, however, seems to be the least of Cardiff City's problems right now.
Fans are unhappy and turning, supporters leaders expressing discontent and even Terry Phillips, bless him, has come as close as I've ever seen him come to a pop at any Cardiff City manager by expressing his disbelief about only 4 subs being used last weekend in tonight's South Wales Echo. Unable to name a 16, in my opinion, is embarrassing and makes us a laughing stock. I'm still cringeing over it.
The club, publicly, don't even seem that bothered. Cardiff City, once again, appear to be a club in turmoil but nobody's explaining why.
The club have netted close to £9M in transfer fees and cup runs alone this season yet seem to be on its arse.
Peter Ridsdale has apparently been alerted to the despondency and postings on internet sites so has offered to meet Vince Alm of Cardiff City Supporters Club, Paul Corkery who has been working hard to set up Cardiff City Supporters Trust and Keith Morgan and accountant who has previously grilled Peter Ridsdale without our Chairman following up promises to share accounts with him over a period now lasting 3 months.
It's a sad indictment that it's got to this stage. I wish the boys all the best tomorrow and hope they hit Ridsdale hard with our concerns and questions. I do fear Mr "open, honest and transparent" (if only he was!!!) Ridsdale, someone who was used to brag how he had made us debt-free not so long ago (if only he did!!!) will be as oily, cryptic and contradictory blame passing convenient targets such as Langston with a lack of detail and clarity.
It's what he excels at, isn't it?
