Yeah but the day to day ****e he has had to put up with is ridiculous. The players havent been paid from last year yet and I read that Reidy actually auctioned one of his medals to help raise money for wages and also actually paid the electric bill out of his own pocket? He wasnt taking wages either!!! To then do this to the man, when he actually would have saved them from relegation last year if it were not for the club going into administration and being docked 10 points, is a disgrace IMO. Who the friggin hell do they think will touch that job with a bargepole when they wont be getting paid? Is it any wonder that anything Peter Ridsdale touches turns to ****e though? He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football club again after ****ing Leeds Utd and now Plymouth. I never liked Reid the man (I thought he was an arrogant twat when he was at Sunderland and became too powerful for a manager which showed in the end) but I cannot doubt that the football for those 3 years or so, just prior to promotion and for 2 years back in the top flight, was by far the best I have ever seen in my 36 years. It was a love/hate relationship for me but I genuinely think he has been ****ed over by Ridsdale here and wish him well.
