Ridsdale swiftly dismisses Ledley newspaper talk

I get the impression this story was the figment of a journalist's imagination as no Cardiff City fan bought the wekend claims that Joe Ledley had not been offered a new contract knowing his agent and himself had made it known they were, understandably, seeking to play in the Premiership next season.

Ridders has now confirmed what was already widely known by confriming to today's South Wales Echo, "“Myself and Dave Jones sat down with Joe three days after our final game at Sheffield Wednesday and said that we wanted to discuss a contract with him ... Joe said then he did not want to enter into discussions and see what offers were there for him.

“So has he seen a contract? No. Has he been offered a contract? No. But he knows there is a contract for him to look at. If there is no interest in Joe from other clubs we will come back and have a look at it. There is a contract there to be discussed. I am in discussion with Joe’s agent once a week to see where we are."
