Under siege Ridsdale faces supporters’ wrath

LEEDS chairman Peter Ridsdale will next week set about convincing angry supporters he remains the right man to continue leading the troubled club.

Ridsdale's reign has been called into question recently by the fans, with their fury sparked by the sale of Jonathan Woodgate prior to the closure of last month's transfer window.

The £9m departure of a player previously regarded as one of the crown jewels proved the final straw for the supporters who had seen Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Keane, Lee Bowyer, Olivier Dacourt and Robbie Fowler moved on since the summer.
