Publicity Pete was the guest on the CCFC phone-in last night and, even if he got a predictably fairly easy ride, it was a rattling good listen. Ridsdale does project himself extremely well in these arenas but it is well worth checking out.You can download it through the following link:

Peter talks about the club, the stadium, the finances, the presence of moneymen in the game, the ongoing situation with Langston, the Hasselbaink fiasco and more.
A couple of football-related revelations:
He has received bids today from both Celtic and Rangers for Glenn Loovens. Neither meet City's 
valuation so they were declined but he will be "pragmatic" if either get close to City's £3M value as he realises the player effectively becomes a free transfer in September.

Despite media reports, City have not bid for, and are not interested in, Fulham's David Healey at this time.
An interesting story about Remco Van der Schaaf, the Dutch midfielder who was in Cardiff this summer and, available on a free transfer, wanted to sign for the club - well, free apart from the player demanding £150,000, double his previous wages and his agent asking for £500,000 for himself!! Burnley fans believe they pinched him off us ... I doubt they realise the cost.
A good listen.
