From BBC:

Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale has apologised to supporters over the club's financial crisis but says he will not be resigning.
 
In answer to the question will the tax bill be paid on Feb 11th,

"You'll find out Feb 10th"

What an absolute fucking wanker.
 
Well Ed I was right and no resignation and all PR has done is re-iterated Cardiff's statement. I.e We're sorry. No resignation.

The double appology is no doubt a response to the upset fans and the renewed calls for an EGM which it still looks like we ain't getting.

Told you all I'm Internet big cheese in the know :p
 
Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale: I'm not resigning
Jan 28 2010 WalesOnline

PETER RIDSDALE has apologised to Cardiff City fans over a pledge to use advanced season ticket sales to invest in new players but says he is not resigning.

He says the season ticket plan will be honoured, but admits the season ticket idea was misleading although he insists this was not intentional.

Ridsdale met with the shareholders and board and decided a regime change is not the best thing for the club at the moment. He says he will leave when the job is done

"Today is about me eating humble pie and apologising to fans." he said.

"Had we known investment assurances were not going to come off, we wouldn't have given fans hope of new signings."

Ridsdale added: "I admit I made a mistake. Until yesterday we believed there would be money coming in before the transfer window.

"My priority is to make sure we pay our creditors.

"The supporters deserve an apology because I made a mistake.

"I don't believe I have lied. I think the word lie is inappropriate.

"I take grave exception to anyone suggesting I have lied."

When asked if the tax bill will be paid by February 10, Ridsdale answered: "You'll find out on February 10th."

He added: "I have two choices. I either run away or I apologise. I won't run away."

:hmm:
 
Tickets for this game will not go on general sale. :hmm:

Confident that they'll sell out to season ticket holders and members alone?

Or do they not care about packing the place out? I hope they do care as we need our 45% cut of their ticket sales more than they need theirs.

Do we get 45% of total sales or just of our ticket sales?

So could we get 45% of 40,000 x say £30. Thats a bloody good payday.

45% of total sales .... potentially better than 55% of a home game (especially if you take staff/running/police costs into consideration)

Evidently its 40% and tickets are only £25 or £12 for "are we there yet"s.

Still if they sell out at average of £20 its still £340k

You'll be Ok for a ticket tho wont ya mate? If we do sell ouit our full allocation I can see a few going in the home end.

I've just thought how Ridders is going to sell it to us.

"Buy your tickets for Chelsea NOW! It may be your last ever chance to see Cardiff play":eek:

Link doesn't work.
 
Steve Borley on CCMB

'The board are working hard to resolve the tax issue with the revenue. If we didnt think we had a chance to resolve it we would be duty bound to call in the administrators and I am confident we will find a way through.'

Fills you with confidence doesn't it
 
And just one of the responses


'Resolve it? The Club either has the money to pay in full or not.

What happened to the nigh on £3 million that you mugged the fans for with the season ticket offer?

You should all hang your heads in shame.'

This is going to get real nasty.

:(
