Strange there was no mention of the past owners being to blame and the shit stadium deal and the way it was trying to lead him towards making comments
It's almost as if a story like this could have been predicted.

Yes it seems. He's since confirmed it was purely observational.

At least we got more information out of it instead of a tweet...
I know I'm so glad I know that SJ's favourite band is the specials

Great article. Reading it made a lot of sense to me and it seems we have owners who want to go and are looking for a way out but can't find anyone who is willing to pay their price.
That's how I understand it.

I think half on here haven't read it and are going by his tweet alone.

It would be like going back to the Richardson era. Although Pompeys troubles were exasperated a couple of years after he sold to Gaydemak, Mandaric was signing off player contracts the ultimately, the club couldn't afford.

I like this, we have ourselves a stalking horse to turn the heat up on Fisher & Seppala.

How is it turning the heat up though?

take away that it is a story in the CT, Has Simon Jordan in this first article said much that we wouldn't agree with? Made a number of sensible observations I think
some of the questions are a bit misleading though. TF said the club would make £1m before interest charges and tax, that is not the same as making £1m this year or even a profit. We all know they have not put £70m in why persist with the fiction. Challenge Fisher to prove it because the accounts don't show it

But he did give the impression that investing with others may appeal to him.

Thing is, it's basically saying it's a good club and can be turned around.
Agree with him about the youth system which seems to be doing fine.
The £1m profit stuff is him not realising it so has been told somewhere it will be a £1m profit. You can see from the public tweets the attempts at steering him with leading questions.
What would be interesting is to ask him what he would do about the stadium, the revenues, the academy. Just to see if he had any sort of solution in mind or ideas. Obviously not run it as a "Simon Jordan wants to do this" but more of a "this is what an ex football club owner would do".

would he work with the Trust if they could provide significant funds from a community share issue or does he know high net worth individuals who would ?
And having run stories with him and also ones on the trust is Simon Gilbert going to make an introduction to see if there is any common ground or even just advice. Given the CT campaign I would think that was the obvious thing to do

Didn't he not lose everything when he financislly supported CP through their hard times. His book supposedly tells how he lost the lot.
I know he says he worth 135 million but his recent book says he's skint, though he does have enough to live in Marbs.
Another chancer after some headlines I think though id take Pol Pot as our new owner if he was still alive that is (joke)
Anyway I'm off to Screwfix my sheds roof has blown off

Wasn't he talking about when he was looking at the club.
What do past owners have to do with that?
He was talking a few years ago.
He looked at and felt that the only way to sort it is to invest in the team and get a good relationship going with the fans.
He felt that this isn't SISU's way so it wouldn't be a good idea to invest.

Be delighted to have Simon Jordan on board with his brilliant track record. Perhaps his ineptitude will usher in fan ownership like it did at Palace in the end.

So as I thought a chancer trying to grab some headlines, and as his book says he is skint so I hope the book does well enough for him to keep living in Spain.
Next chancer please introduce yourself to skybluestalk
