The Ridsdale era was crazy. Nobody knew the extent of what was going on until we were on the brink of extinction. The wages the players were getting was beyond ridiculous. I think Seth Johnson was on 40k plus a week. the useless twat hardly kicked a ball. Recently we terminated Erik Bakke's contract he was on 25k. Danny Mills 40k, Robbie Fowler 50k (i think maybe even 60k) it was absolutely crazy, every squad member was on about 70% more wages than they should have been. I think the agents must have walked into the board room and just completely bossed the discussions. Agent: "my client wants 60k" Ridsdale: "we'll give him 80k"

Anyway, while the fininancial news is good. The performances on the pitch are dreadful. 3 successive home defeats, and 2nd from bottom in the championship.

I'm guessing Blackwell will be shown the door tommorow.
