Do you remember him from a few years back?

He's the chairman of leading city investment bank Seymour Pierce, and was appointed as a director of the club by Ridsdale as the guy to take us forward. He was to guide us away from administration and find an investor probably among the many hedge funds that plague the sport.

He was paid hansomely ("a six figure sum" quoted) as a non executive director by Ridsdale apparently doing very little, and then lo and behold, TG and VT came along (which was nothing to do with Orville).

They assesed the club, sussed out the situation, and sent him on his merry way along with Ridsdale and Flitcroft with the usual "we wish to thank them for their efforts whilst at the club" press release.

What do you know? Well I never!

We're still here, Cardiff City FC is alive and kicking, whilst it's Orville's leading city stockbrokers and investment consultants company Seymour Pierce about to go into administration.

He couldn't find a reputable buyer for his company. Not quite acurate - he actually did find a buyer but they were a bit shady and the FSA wouldn't approve them.

You couldn't make it up. So much for the experts eh?
 
Come on Sparks, be fair.

It must always be hard for him to concentrate with Keith Harris' arm permanently stuck up his ar$e.

Whoa, hang on, you cunning old bu££er.

I've sussed you out. It was Keith Harris the Riddler brought on board not Orville. In that case, bearing mind first impressions are always important, it can't have worked well for him going into meetings with his right arm always covered in bird sh!t.
 
Cor blimey Sparkey, you just reminded me that my bride took my son to see them in Cardiff...paid money for the tickets too! Fug ne, what a hoot! <laugh>
 
Ridsdale was about to appoint Lenny the lion, Emu and Nookie Bear as well, but VT said "no flucking way Pedro".

"There's enough flucking puppets here already. Now fluck off down to Plymouth and sell me that Mason boy".........<laugh>
