The Peter Ridsdale diversion

Anyone watching the re-runs of Colditz will be familiar with the prisoners' use of diversions to distract the attention of the guards while they try to pull a fast one.

I do believe we have exactly such an exercise in this morning's News of the World.

Be advised - it's a red herring.

    Thanks Airman, that's good to know. Especially after seeing what those Cardiff fans were saying.

    Just so no one misses them in the big takeover threads, latest on Twitter-

    @markjeffs
    @danroan it is true that there's more than one bidder for Charlton? One of which is Peter Risdale?

    @danroan
    @markjeffs Yes. No.

    @bbc_matt
    #cafc fans, there's more 2 takeover saga than NOTW reports. 2, maybe 3 bids, board split, interesting cast. Will tell all asap

    Maybe the Risdale interest is being shown, so that us poor suckers will feel less bad about an unpalatable take over from some other parties. Oh we don't like the sound of ???? much but at least it is not a credit buyout by Risdale kind of thing. Likewise Maybe we will see some interest from the Michael Jackson foundation or Simon Jordan on the same level.

    ( Risdale, paid £1,075 quid for Hudson which says it all about him).

    Crikey- at that price I wish I'd bought him to be
    my personal man servant.
    I could just about afford that.

    CAFC latest: Peter Ridsdale has just called to stress he is "100% NOT involved in any bid for Charlton". Don't believe all u read.

    But who is the herring flogger?

    Has it scaled its way out of the boardroom, or is Risdale now a fishmonger?
    How can we have a split boardroom if RM is the chief honcho?

    Are the NOTW bugging Roan's twitter feed, but not his phone so they are joining the dots in their usual accurate journalistic way?

    Seems he might want to buy some Haddock.

    does the board enjoy winding us up as much as the media seem to? Going on the debacles of the last 2 or 3 years,i'd say yes.would never have happened in curbs day.

    But Dan told me not to believe what I read!

    If only there was a time frame for how long we should suspend belief of takeover talk.
    Then we might have a clue as to when the believable rumours will kick in.

    But a diversion from what?

    What cunning plan are the chaps cooking up and has the escape officer approved it.

    NOTW printed Ridsdale looking to buy Charlton for 11 million but 8 of that on finance. Board split as Murray prefers pursuing another potential buyer. Airman Brown helpfully posted this was a red herring. Dan Roan since said Ridsdale has 100% denied involvement. That it as I see it I think.

    Apparently someone is digging a tunnel out of the Valley and someone else is diverting the Guards with some fish.

    coincidently on the bbc website, I wonder who wrote that. Why couldn't he have written an article on the first 'story' instead of making one tweet about us being close to takeover!

    The ongoing wages for Hudson may be a bit high though, Marco.
