After speaking to ridsdale on Saturday, I would say he is planning on being here for a while as his words were "once the cva business is sorted we can push on with a bright future".
I'm guessing he knows who the pb is and knows they want him.
After the other things he said I'm more than happy for him to be here, he seemed a very genuine and level headed person.
As for Reid, he will do good things for us given a chance!
