Peter Risdale elected to EFL Board.

He's been elected to the EFL board to represent championship clubs now that his ban from being a company director has expired.

Keiran Maguire doesn't seem impressed with this.

He's been very cleverly employed by Preston for almost ten years as an advisor to the owners - clearly to get round his ban

That man should be absolutely nowhere near football.

We hit the panic button in 2010 when we played Stoke in a pre-season friendly at Huddersfield and saw him in the visitors directors box. It turned out he was there as Barry Kilby’s guest.

He’s a self server with a poor track record. Should fit in well at the EFL.

With so many EFL clubs on the brink, having someone on board who knows how to screw your creditors, and get away with it, might seem like a good idea.
He should have been banned for life for what he did at Leeds. The only positive was it screwed Leeds as well as the creditors, although it should also have been worse for Leeds as a club. Bottom of the pyramid would have done.

He must be highly respected within the profession. I don’t see anything but a snake from my perspective

I was at that game, wasn’t it played there because their pitch was identical to what we were installing at the time?

Also remember Rory Delap having a joke with our fans over positioning of the advertising hoardings :D

There will be a lot of people that he stuffed now mortified he's anywhere near a position like this.
Terrible decision.

That’s it. Our pitch wasn’t ready so we played it at Huddersfield who already had a Desso pitch. We played on ours a week later v Forest in opening league game and it was still not finished and cut up horrendously.

Sadly in this country he wouldn’t be the first person to be promoted for failure.
