Ridsdale says he'll be involved in Sam talks

Peter Ridsdale has said that he has been asked to be involved in the talks. He doesn't say who asked him to sit in but it seems that Sam is giving out the impression that he is trying to get back involved but the club are being far more prudent about it.

"I have been asked to sit in. It is not something I was seeking and my only interest is in helping City," Ridsdale told the Echo.

"If I can do that in any way I will, but there is no chance I will be returning to Cardiff City FC in the future.

"I want the club to succeed and hope that happens, but I have moved on."

Yesterday Sam Hammam was quoted as saying:

"TG and myself working together - that's a dream team for Cardiff City. The Bluebirds will be back to their best.

"I don't want to be involved on the financial side - that's where I made my mistakes. But I can put the football back into City. I have the contacts needed.

"We have to move quickly. The work done at this stage decides what happens at the end of the season. There is no time to waste."

A full statement from Cardiff City Chairman TG will follow.
