JerryHandbag

He looks like a tosser, talks like one, and thankfully this tosser is leaving football. TOSSER!

Talks a lot of sense to me

So your only point in this thread is that Simon Jordan is a tosser? Nice.

Mitch Connor

Simon Jordan says what a lot of people think. I'd agree with mostof what he says regarding football.

He hates agents and thinks the whole Sepp Blatterism is in danger of ruining the game.


Sensible enough.

Jordon's been a bit of an idiot at times, but he's far from a tosser. and everything he's been griping about for the past few weeks is perfectly true.
the real tosser of football is Blatter, for all the sh*t he spouts and his cronieism. and his puppet clone Platini, i.e. Blatter lite

The guy is a total cock tbh. If he had any likable characteristics at all I'd listen to what he has to say, but he just comes across like a tool whenever I've watched him.

Simon Jordan may not be instantly likeable, but he doesn't try to be, a lot of what he says is true.

It's just that he comes across as an arragant tosser, with his permatan, blonde hair and confrotational personality.

Guy:Incognito

He's a camera loving attention whore, just like Warnock. They actually go well together.

Nail on the head. Typical dimwit who knows nothing about football, the history and tradition of the game, just sees it as a "franchise"....a money spinning operation.....I wonder what sport he'll sink his fangs into next, the smug sleazy arse-faced vampire. Other than that hes a nice bloke :P

So you disagree with what he says in the article?

how is that any different to Lerner, the Glazers, the Edwards, Shinawatra, Hicks and Gillet, etc, etc.?

For the moment, the subject of the article is irrelevant for me tbh. When it comes from that guy's mouth there's always some kind of ulterior motive to it so I'll take anything he says with a pinch of salt.

Are we supposed to get all up in a tizzy just because one egostistical chairman is turning his back on the game? Whoah, my heart bleeds for the guy. If he's that quick to walk away from it, I frankly couldn't care less what he thinks about anything.

Fail on your part sir.

Jordan was a youth player at both Palace and Chelsea, and his old man was a pro.

I think he speaks sense on this occasion, but on others, he lives up to his image of an arrogant bullshiner, particulalry when it comes to his treatment of managers and his hypocrisy. However, it's not fair to claim he has no connections with football ala the glazers, Mike Ashely, or Hicks+1. He evidently has deeply rooted ones.

'Michel Platini is going in front of the European Union to identify six sports which should have a special exclusion from human rights,' Jordan told the News of the World.

Anyone know what the hell thats all about, what SIX sports Platini is supposedly trying to deny human rights to? And which human rights?

Mitch Connor

not sure about the 6 sports, but i would say the human rights would be related to employment law - contracts, transfer fees and the likes - Webster ruling for example.

Fratton Fred

I can't find much to like about the guy other than what he says.

He speaks a lot of sense and, iirc, is a life long palace fan. He is always getting in trouble with the "Authorities" because he speaks his mind, which is usually in line with what the fans are thinking.
