Evening StandardPeter Ridsdale will not be at Emirates Stadium tonight to see Leeds play Arsenal in the FA Cup. Just as well for Leeds given that, since leaving the club in March 2003, his record is: watched five, lost five.
"I'm not sure whether I'm good for Leeds these days," says Ridsdale.
Leeds fans concluded long ago that Ridsdale was never any good for their team, holding him responsible for the disastrous slide from Champions League heights to League One anonymity. But, since leaving Leeds nearly nine years ago with the club £79million in debt, the former Elland Road chairman has reinvented himself as the man clubs in trouble turn to.
