Less for me, but obviously bigger to some if their comments are anything to go by.
Should back them and praise them if he wants backing from them.
Then again like most of us he's probebly laughing at their blindness.

I like the fact he seems to stick the boot in , but he is dick like.
He don't look real to me , like a spitting image puppet

I hear he referenced Narnia when Joys valuation cropped up.

Pissed off with ex players and "celebrities" rabbiting on about our club.Don't talk about how sorry you are for us,just do something about it ! As if they give a fuck !

First we build a wardrobe after which the possibilities are limitless.

Okay we can pooh pooh Simon Jordan and put him down as publicity seeking but his admitted interest has moved things a bit. Tim Fisher and Joy Sepalla have constantly said when asked ccfc is not for sale but atleast Jordan has got a price albeit in Narnia land as he put it I suspect his price is at the opposite end to Narnia. but it's something to work at hopefully.

As I have said all along these blood suckers don't give two fucks about demonstrations against CCFC it does not effect them!! All we are is a single line of figures in the balance sheet and will keep us eakin along and reduce budgets in line with support levels. Until they can crystallise the debt washing around their books we are stuck with the leeches.The demonstrations need to go to the heart of the problem that being Joy Seppala and her fellow directors

i love how fans always act like they know everything

jordan never interested
jordan made a bid
etc

none of us know whats happening behind scenes really so best to keep an open mind to all outcomes.

He says he was interested, well you could take it that he is very unlikely to be able to take it any further after the comments he has made. Kind of safe to say and hint what he likes after that then really.

Just because he says he was interested doesn't actually mean it was ever for sale

He also suggested the price was way too high. Which does suggest it's available, otherwise how do you know the price.
I don't buy the idea that it won't be for sale as they don't want to crystallise the losses. Well I do buy but it, but only in the short term.
Without a concurrently running plan to mitigate those loses then it is pointless. You cannot sit there for ever trying to breakeven not crystallising the loses. People at some point will look for a return on the investment. You will need to tell them a clear plan and timeframe for how and when you hope to turn their investment from loss to profit.
What is the long term plan that is doing that?
The only one in play is the legal action so this concept probably has a two-three year shelf life.

Why doesn't he say the price or what he has tried then? Who did he speak to and when?

Has he spoken to the club or is he just going off the 70m figure mentioned over and over?

This is the same guy that said we should be getting 5m or whatever it was from ticket sales as well isn't it.

He doesn't even say that he has spoken to anyone at the club about making a bid.

The 49-year-old claimed he has made enquiries with “people that are in touch” with the club and backed off after classing the price tag for the Sky Blues as “living in Narnia”.

I would understand the above to be that if it was a consortium he was involved in. As he has always said regarding Coventry he would only invest with others not in his own. Then it was someone else talking to Coventry and the price was too high.

Or as said above someone who was talking to the club got told the price and he said it was too high.

If it was just the price banded around in the media why would he need to say he made enquiries with people in touch with the owners.

Simon Jordan is a joke after all.

Or it could just be that accurate recollection of facts and Mr Jordan are not natural bedfellows - an observation made by several people on many occasions.

Sounds like he's perfectly qualified to be a hedge fund boss. According to one judge anyway.

Has a judge ever said it about him? Or anyone else of note for that matter? Or is it just an observation of "several people"?

Anyway, back on topic. Here's an interesting article on a cautious tale of mixing hedge funds and football.

No Tony People directly involved with him - Ron Noades as an example. How's that list coming along chap? Do you need some help on that one?

Is this the same Ron Noades who said black players have no brains or common sense? Sounds like someone we should be ignoring wouldn't you agree?

Well not I suspect on the sale details of the club he sold? His views on black people? Tony I'm surprised. I'm sure you'd March alongside dear old Ron if you found a common cause

List Tony?

Not sure what you're trying to say there.

Which club? He sold 4 or 5 in his time didn't he? Didn't he want to merge CP and Wimbledon? Wasn't he heavily criticised for the amount of money he paid himself from the club's he owned too? Is this really the yard stick you're going to use to measure Simon Jordan? Perhaps you should pick one of the other "several people".
