Ridsdale to retain position

PETER RIDSDALE watched Leeds’ UEFA Cup tie against Malaga safe in the knowledge he will be re-elected as a club director at the annual general meeting tomorrow.

In recent weeks, with Leeds in turmoil both on and off the pitch, Ridsdale has been quietly nervous over whether he would be voted back into office.

It is coincidental thanks to the rotational policy operated by the board that the situation should arise with Leeds currently at their lowest ebb for many years.
