Peter Ridsdale

They've spent a lot of bloody money.

Peter Ridsdale has the young owner, the owner's son.

God bless the owner who passed away.

They're spending money.

Don't know him.

And Peter Ridsdale.

And Peter Ridsdale came in for a lot of stick, but they taught me an awful lot in the game as well.

Paul Aldridge was brilliant.

So I, I learnt an awful lot from them three.

But I was nearly eight years at Cardiff, seven years, seven and a half, eight years at Cardiff, and we built an unbelievable...

How we built a training ground and a new stadium and cleared 67 million in debt, it...

And that, and that's what I said, when you talk about Peter Ridsdale, he did-

I wanted to talk to him about being linked to the Leeds jobs.

He said, funnily enough, he did meet Peter Ridsdale once, but it wasn't about the Leeds job.

He had a coffee with him and he was pictured in Leeds.

And he was never formally approached about... bleeds job but he would have loved it he would have absolutely loved to have gone in becoming a meme there's three or four different memes of Mick getting scared by absolutely nothing careless whisper on the dugout and then also the I can't go on can you know so lots of really good stuff and Gaetano Berardi talks about Bielsa in incredibly high regard and his coaching career and where that's going right now so you can check all that out if you want to plenty of stuff there over the course of the of the international break and then we get to talk about football for the next week and I don't have to keep scratching my head to figure out what am I going to talk about when there's no football on so anyway go check the lads out if you want it thanks for watching us and listening to us again tonight always appreciate and we'll talk to you soon see you later bye

That is the game, though.

The game is you find the money you can, you put those resources against it, and some people take risks, just like Peter Ridsdale back in the 2000s with Leeds took a risk, got into the Champions League.

You know, stick or twist.

Mm-hmm.

We know he has that relationship with Preston North End.

And it feels like a solid PR-based appointment here from Peter Ridsdale in the sense of it's an appointment that's going to get the fans going a bit.

That will bring fans back on side of touch.

Some people might be a bit concerned about the football.

My heart's telling me to go back, but my head's going, I can't work with you.

And we met him and I'll be open with this because I told Peter Ridsdale what had happened and everything like that.

And Jolino gave me his telephone number.

He said, look, have the night to think about it all and give me his number.
