Why does a burglar go to prison when caught, yet he just gets a ban from being a Director for essentially "stealing" nearly half a million pounds :crazy:
1...Isnt there a "fit and Proper" test by authorities for Chairman/woman and owners to run a football club??.....how long does this "process" take?
2...so I presume he will have no excuse not to stand down from PNE now then??

the people who saved the club were :
the staff who went months without pay
the firms who lost 99% of what they were owed.
the fans who put there money in so staff who werent paid at least had 'something' to spend.
players were sold for a fraction of their value. we were fleeced BIG time.
BWP worth 300k at least (20 goal plus strikers in 3rd tier ususally fetch twice that!!)
Mason worth more than 300k
R Johnson 400k
Bolalsie 150k
and just HOW did we run up a £17m debt!!!!!!!!!!!

Im pretty sure Bolasie went for £20,000 in the end ... because he had 2 weeks to run on his contract :/GregCampbellFanClub":314ct03l said:
I said it when he was sniffing around the club (or "on a walking holiday" :lol: ) and I said it when he was finally involved with the club, that he was an odious individual that should never be let loose near any football club in the world ever! Maybe now he won't be. Now it is proved that he is a criminal, I can't believe that there are still people on here defending him.
"He saved the club" no he didn't! The fans saved the club.
"He kept the HMRC from our door" No he didn't! He just put them off for a while by selling our best players cheaply, even I could have done that!
"He made us more attractive to buyers" No he didn't! He feathered his own nest and even when it looked like he wasn't going to get his way with Heaney and that Brent would take over, he STILL went off and tried to hawk his club for a quid deal to another shady character in Firoz Kassam!!!
He was not good for us, he was not good for Cardiff, he was not good for Barnsley and he was not good for Leeds, he probably is no good for Preston as well.
Maybe now at last football can rid itself of the cancer that is Peter Risdale.

Completely agree. How much more convincing do some people need that Ridsdale had nothing like the club's best intentions at heart?
It also helps prove as wrong those people who took, and still take, a "let's just find someone with money to takeover" attitude. Money-men don't go into football clubs with innocence. Some do it for business reasons, either legit (Brent it appears so far) or dodgy (Ridsdale), while others do it for a bit of fun and prestige (see the current Malaga situation for e.g.). Whichever it is, the only sustainable way of running a club - the only way that personal finance isn't at the centre - is for democratic fans' ownership. Under the current structure of the sport that means you won't get to the Premier League, but at least you've got your own existence in your own hands.
Integrity is everything, and he had none. He had none before he arrived, he displayed none when he was here and he hasn't found any since he left.
Tuggers I'd have sooner started again than get into bed with him, said so at the time. So in your hypothetical clock turnback if I had my way we'd be winning regularly in the conference south, we wouldn't be kneejerking over Carl Fletcher on the whim of every result and we wouldn't still be soiled by the involvement of that scheister.

BBC website quotes "The ban prevents Mr Ridsdale from acting as a director, but also from taking part - directly or indirectly - in the promotion, formation or management of a company"
...think that means the back of Risdale at Preston and for the sake of football any other club until 2020.
Wonder if he'll pitch up in another country ??
Good Ridance
I saw at close quarters how much hard work Ridsdale put in to save Argyle, whatever his motives we should be thankful for what he achieved.
It's a pity he didn't stay because the club is in desperate need of a football man to be the Chief Executive, with James watching over him Ridsdale would have been perfect for that role and I'm sure a lot of teething problems we have seen over the last few months would not have happened if Ridsdale was the Chief Exec.

£17m quid has never been explained.personally i cant believe we managed to run up THAT amount of debt.
we cant blame ridsdale for that amount (obviously), BUT it is clear to me the club has been ripped off.
no idea exactly WHO by though.
Pity he didnt stay ???? :banghead: :facepalm:
thats just what the club needs eh (sic) !
