With the current transfer window set to slam firmly shut on Monday, instead of hoping (against forlorn hope) that Ridsdale would deliver us a quality new signing or two, the club have instead decided to sanction news that they called an emergency board meeting to decline a £5M written offer from Joe Ledley (believed to have come from either Everton or Stoke) plus a £4M bid for Roger Johnson with WBA or Hull trailing him.
It's a sign of the times that in a very informal poll on CardiffCity.com, there's roughly a 50/50 split of 150 fans over whether this is really true or not. The only external supporting stories so far are that Stoke are considering whether to persue Ledley while Hull admit they made a tentative enquiry only for Johnson which hardly sounds like a confirmed bid. (City cool on Johnson bid Hull Daily Mail)
While it may be true, I'm a cynic but seem to have increasing numbers of City fans for company. I've now passed the stage where I just cannot take what Peter Ridsdale says at face value because of his record. It's a sad state of affairs when my very first thought at a club, whose words rarely correspond with its actions these days, is that it may just be the latest example.

At a time, when questions should be asked about City's lack of promised spending (including all the recent excess Glen Loovens sale funds), the story instead is deflected onto how we're determined to hold onto our stars and how good are our club for doing that. How convenient!
