Didn't he manage to regain control of Selhurst Park from Ron Noades before that so at least when they did go into admin there was something tangible to bid for? Not exactly success but he at least has one up on our current bunch. He's also got an appetite for litigation. Ask Dowie. Although Jordan won, so that's two he's got up on our current bunch. (edit) he also got Palace promoted to the premier league. That's three he's got up on the current bunch.

Have a read again. I made no mention about whether he would be any good or not.
Keep trying

Are you saying he said that in this interview but it hasn't been reported?
I am merely saying that this part of the interview seems to be about 3 years ago when he was considering it.
So I wouldn't expect him to be talking about past owners.
There is a part 2 to this interview...

Hopefully Simon and his dad Eddie will be able to conclude a deal soon

I have to say if you rely on the info you are spouting then you are a fool or deliberately feeding a false picture for I know without doubt the details you have shown are misleading to be at best generous to you .
I am not defending the man or giving any substance to the rumours of interest

Calm down sweetheart, that took a few minutes of googling to bring up. If it's not accurate info then I apologise to the man. Educate us with your superior knowledge then.

Looks like it's just re-hashed from the Telegraph version with even more bits cut out.
People are already taking it as fact that it's happening.

i dont mind even if it is, keeps our plight in mainstream media and maybe someone else will read it and take a punt on us

Would you rather our plight be out of the media instead?

I'd rather people weren't mislead and didn't get their hopes up...
You can see how much it's being blown up to make stories.

Yes, but what's it based on? Him tweeting about a shit stadium deal and past owners and an off the cuff remark about possibly helping out if others were that's been focused on.
People bang on about our plight, all it's doing is misleading fans to think he is going to take us over. Look at the people begging him, listen to people talking about it like it's fact.
He commented on it, it's been blown up and focusing on 1 quote, he's basing most of it on the assumption there will be a £1m profit (not realising it was EBIT) so whoever briefed him didn't do it properly. It's just the same as when there were telegraph staff tweeting every ex player or manager possible to get statements from them.

Are you saying City fans are stupid to hope for something better than we already have ?
Who are you defending / protecting ?
Nick

You mean the ones where he came on and said he had heard and it was just a rumour so don't quote him on it? It was hardly him giving it the "Exclusive: So and so interested in a takeover" because of a throwaway comment.

Strange, Why is it defending or protecting anybody?
No, I am saying look at what the story is based on.
If you want to get carried away and take everything as gospel without much basis then it's up to you.

If I read it correctly Jordan said he doesn't want to "buy" ccfc but might be prepared to consider being part of a consortium and lend his experience on running a football club properly. Probably come to nothing

It may be for you, but I can guarantee that people think it's a fact.

I will give you a similar example of this info regarding Alan Sugar
Lord Alan Michael Sugar holds 4 appointments at 4 active companies, has resigned from 0 companies and held 0 appointments at 0 dissolved companies. ALAN began their first appointment at the age of 66. ALAN is not registered as holding any current appointments.
The combined cash at bank value for all businesses where ALAN holds a current appointment equals £910.5k, a combined total current assets value of £1.3m with a total current liabilities of £809.7k and a total current net worth of £1.2m. Roles associated with Lord Alan Michael Sugar within the recorded businesses include: Director
The truth is that in 2015 Sugar was estimated to be the 101st in the Sunday Times rich list with an estimated wealth of £1.4 Billion.
apologies if I came over as a little aggressive but You can see how distorted the 'facts' can be shown

I don#t see many people believing it to be fair, pretty sure everyone would be once burned twice shy and all that.

He may not be interested in buying us outright, but he has said he would be happy to join in with a consortium, that makes him interested doesn't it?

He said "might be interested". Again, take a look at how it came about.
"you have to look at the previous owners"
"what about sisu"
"shit stadium deal"
"what about sisu".
It's hardly a "right, i am going to get some people together and do this".
Like the strachan one with a throwaway comment that turns into people out there looking to buy coventry city.

What's wrong with the CT doing that? Are you not interested in what people with a connection to the club think?
