"I'm very keen to get back into football and I'm exploring the legalities of taking over," said Ridsdale. Barnsley owner Peter Doyle has also now revealed that he met Ridsdale for informal talks. "He was coming to Barnsley on business so I suggested he meet me and we walked around the place," said Doyle. "I own this club lock, stock and barrel and I am trying to make Barnsley Football Club successful," added Doyle. "Mr Ridsdale has significant investment of his own and it would be remiss of me not to talk to him about it."
