Ridsdale rejects Jimmy link

Chairman Peter Ridsdale has rubbished reports linking Cardiff City with a move for free agent striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Hasselbaink, 35, was released by Charlton Athletic following their relegation to the Championship.
However, the former Holland international will not be joining the Bluebirds where he would link up with Ridsdale, who was Leeds chairman during Hasselbaink's spell at Elland Road.
The pair fell out prior to the striker's £12million transfer to Atletico Madrid in 1999.
"Reports linking us to Jimmy Floyd are total nonsense," Ridsdale told the Western Mail.
"Anyone who is aware of the history between us would certainly rule that out as a non-starter."
