Continued his 'vision' at Cardiff too. So much so that their billionaire investors are still struggling to clear the debts he created in his couple of years there and have said publicly in the South Wales press that some of his financial 'deals' are just "crazy" and on "terms you would not believe".

Spending money you ain't got isn't really very clever is it, certainly not visionary.

There was a big item about how football has become a closed shop at the top, and they chose to use Leeds to illustrate the point. It was all a rehash of stuff we have all heard before. The best bit was when they replayed commentary of Allan Clarke's goal in the 1972 Cup Final. Reflecting on the item, though, reminded me of my opinion, expressed here before and widely criticised, that Ridsdale was right. More than that, he was a visionary..............he saw the way things were going, and realised that Leeds had to claw their way into the elite group because if they waited it would be too late. The real villain of our collapse was O'Leary...............he was given the resources to get us permanently in the Champions League, but he failed to deliver. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
