The Fibs and Whoppers of Peter Ridsdale

Hands Up, You're Guilty!

This list of recent quotes from our less than glorious leader should have him hanging his head in shame ..... but he's proved that he doesn't have the morals. Never mind Pete, you'll soon get to know how fans feel about it.

“They’re [HMRC] just rattling our cage. We’ve held our hands up and given them the cash and as far as we’re concerned that’s the end of the matter. There is no issue. We’ve paid them quite a lot of money. There is a small amount outstanding and we have agreed a payment schedule.
We have sufficient funds to satisfy them and everything else we’re doing. We did have an issue, but it’s been resolved. I’m more than happy.”

“TG has put in an amount of money with another amount due this week. I cannot say how much that is, but I will say it is in the millions. I have also met with Vincent Tan.
“They have asked for all the numbers regarding the club and we have given them those. They will be considered with due diligence.”
These quotes are taken from the Municipal Club meeting at which our Chairman admitted to not telling TG about the first winding up order against the club dated 25 November 2009 – when questioned as to why he hadn’t done this, the reply was along the lines of “he didn’t ask about it”.

“And the cash that comes in will go towards bringing in players during the New Year transfer window.”

From Dave Jones (not that I blame him at all)

"I've asked the Chairman that if anybody buys a season ticket before December 31st and the club get promoted, then we should reimburse all the supporters who have bought a ticket. The money will enable us to go and get players in, it's a fanastic offer and a fantastic gesture by the board.”
