He was Commercial director at Leeds United and he brought large deal with bulmers, nike and sky to name afew, it's hard to see how he wasn't a success at leeds

he took over a 4th tier football club who had been locked out of their ground The club was in complete mess. Not only did he save the club he secured a brand new stadium for the city, under his guidance the club had back to back promotions started generating profits again when he sold them in 2008 for £12m he had built all the foundations for the promotion winning season.

spent 7 years in his 1st spell at hull city

at derby he was tasked with finding investment for the club and he did that with the american investors

he then returned to city, again tasked with finding investors he managed to convince the Allams to invest £50m into the club.

Of course there are occasions where he has made mistakes but in my opinion your brief assessment of his track record in football is complety wrong

.

Apart from the fact they imploded just after he got out of dodge of course.
Apart from that you are pretty much spot on with the rest of your post..

I think that's probably what formed the basis of his tribunal case, and the reason he's so disappointed with the outcome. But without hard evidence of collusion between the old regime and GH, it was always going to be difficult to get a result.

Yup but he was responsible for bringing money in hardly his fault the then chairman had a goldfish fetish

He also employed Jan Molby. However, he quickly got around to sacking the useless psuedo-Danish scouser.

Yeah of course not...........

Although it turned out to be a poor appointment, at the time Molby had lead Kidderminster to the Football League, and was seen as a good manager at the time. The same with Phil Parkinson too.

Iain Dowie has been the only appointment he's made at the time that wasn't widely seen as a good one at the time, and that was more because no one would join a club that had no money and looked like going down.

So that was all Pearson's fault, nowt to do with Ridsdale?

Point me to where I stated that?

Danish pseudo-scouser really

He may well send the CEO, but why then did Hudgell make such a point of stating that "it's over two years since the SL chairmen got together" (excuse the paraphrase )

The way it was delivered was as if the RFL hadn't call any meetings of club officials during that time.

I bet you'd rather have him than your next owner.
