Yeah, same on twitter.

Absolute wrongun.

I have a Twitter but I've never tweeted (although I was tempted to end that to abuse Maton.) Please tell me the video in question isn't on there?

No but it's easy to get the jist of who and what happened.

 

[Brylowes]

Yeah, it's bullshit to get attention and Talksport listeners.

We’re not Liverpool, not sure this would interest that many of their listeners tbh.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It’s a sad reflection of how desperate people are that they’re welcoming Jordan with open arms…and actually believing it.

No need to worry Dan’s been carefully studying him

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

DHarvey is hilarious. I remember him rating players after not seeing a game but going off what he was told.

He’s non stop over there. A bit like Grendel on here!

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

I think with roads like the A444 you get a bit of buck passing between the council and Highways England about who is responsible for what. I agree it is a grim entrance to a city

More trees and flowers needed

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Who was they guy that was interested, until Sisu let his name slip (on purpose) ?

on 2nd thoughts, don’t say, in case he walks again….

Wasn’t it Ken Bruce (not the Radio2 bloke)?

Its main mechanism for making money is through rent so it's hard to see how it could be that profitable at the same time as the club. There is no money in putting on concerts as has been comprehensively demonstrated over the last 17 years.

It needs some significant investment to make it a more attractive conference venue I think, it's competing with other local venues which are better for respective needs; NEC for exhibitions and Warwick Uni Conferences for conferencing.

The facilities themselves are as good as anywhere, but they have been managed so poorly by every party who have been in control. Anyone who's been in the hospitality knows how good it is in the offices and conference halls.

I still maintain the biggest game changer would be a regular train/tram service. That way it can attract regular concerts throughout the year.

 

[pusbccfc]

I think with the right owners and with investment there is a lot that can be done with it.

Let's be honest, it was built on the cheap and has been poorly maintained over the years. Not a single development has gone up around it in 17 years (which given its gateway location and proximity to J3 is odd), and the whole area around it is in a sorry state - one of the scruffiest entry points into any major city in the UK - absolute shithole to be frank (council mostly to be blame for that, every day for 3 months now I have driven past a discarded sofa and a dead fox which is now in a serious state of decomposition, right next the 'thank you for visiting Coventry' sign). It's an appalling mess around there and is ripe for someone to come in and invest.

It was built at the cost of £113m. No other stadium of that size cost that much.

Even the Amex only cost around £90m and the new Brentford £70m.

The stadium itself is state of the art but was never quite finished. Simon Gilbert's book explains how they moved into unfinished offices etc.

They are spending money on it now with the new atrium and a little more would spruce the place up.

Doesn't help that whenever businesses want to open up, they are turned down. McDonalds and the hotels two of many.

Please explain how he would be worse than what we have? We don't even have access to a pitch that's fit for fucking purpose.

Where did I say it’d be worse?
I’ve got a lot of Palace mates - they can’t stand Jordan…and for good reason.

Much of that was infrastructure and site decontamination. They also had things like an underground casino that added significantly to the cost, but which were externally funded anyway.

It was built on the cheap - the materials pallete was bargain basement - the cheapest of cheap cladding and it all needs replacing.

The concourse was just exposed concrete all round - the finish around the main stadium bowl was really poor - but some of the internal areas and the atrium were done well tbh. Needs a lot of money spending on it though.

Yes, the rejection of the hotel was a blatant political decision, based purely on the fact they knew Wasps were sitting on a planning app of their own. Corruption, pure and simple.

Doesn't excuse the utter neglect of the area around the arena though. They only do a litter sweep once every six months - even when they cut the grass ahead of the CG, they didn't bother to clean up the litter it exposed. When the City Council have no civic pride you're fucked.

When Palace went bust he was the major creditor to the tune of 23 million. He knows his way around a football club, be interesting to know why they hate him?

 

[Malaka]

Not sure but she’d put more bums on seats!!

She would be most welcome to sit next to Malaka

 

[Frostie]

Didn't he fail to pay staff wages for months & also do a rather shady stadium deal that ultimately backfired?

 

[Malaka]

"Potentially looking at"
"Im being encouraged to look at"

Yeah, I am potentially looking at a Lambo every time I go to the Fort Shopping Park.

You can afford one, go on treat yourself you tight arse

It's the stadium deal that did for him, although tbf he was trying to reunite it with the club after it had been separated off (by Ron Noades?), so was for noble reasons at least.

 

[wingy]

£38M for the actual stadium.

 

[long way home]

The two main points for me are.

He says he is being urged to look at it.
By who?

And its for sale.
No denial.

Anything else is fillers or opinion, the fact some think he is doing it for attention or to gain followers, is neither here or there.

 

[Frostie]

Yeah, no doubt his intentions were good, he is/was a massive Palace fan after all. You'd be hard pushed to find many that think he did a good job though.

We’ll they got to the premier league while he was chairman no mean feat.

 

[Sick Boy]

Yeah even when they went up to the PL, I guess around 2005, he was largely seen as an idiot by them…that’s not to say he’d be worse than our current owners though.

 

[GaryJones]

Yes the club is for sale - so it’s in play.
Actually I’m looking at buying the club too!
Exclusive for Sky Blue Talk.
If I win the lottery this weekend I will be in touch with Sisu - you heard it here first!!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I genuinely think he did until that point - he rescued them from near oblivion after all. And at least being a fan, when things went pear shaped he was prepaed to move them on to someone else appropriate, rather than cling on for all time, or just flog to the nearest shyster.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

We’ve known it was for sales since the Times article which was clearly briefed.

 

[pusbccfc]

For the bowl, not the rest of it. Surely?

 

[oldfiver]

But not by SISU

The same paper then published a statement from Richardson

Now this push

I don't believe that much in coincidence

 

[wingy]

Yes the stadium around the pitch £3M more than Kingpower .
Think the Jag hall was around £17M ,Casino funded by Capri ? .
Then around £65M for land decontamination, infrastructure etc.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

The Facebook group seems to be revolving around someone shoving a bog brush up his arse today... while this place isn't perfect, you have to say we have a certain amount of superiority over the Facebook and Twitter riff-raff.

That video is traumatising….. I’d rather stick with SISU as owners and wasps our overlords then watch it again

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Not how it works Nick. That's been done on the fly with no build-up or teasing at all. The fact White wasn't sure how to react says everything,

Exactly that just got tagged onto the end of the pitch situation.

He’s become a lot more serious to be fair

Simon Jordan refused player's condom request while owner of Crystal Palace

Simon Jordan spent a decade as chairman of Crystal Palace, helping them to promotion to the Premier League, but also had to deal with a range of strange requests from the club's players

The conference facilities are poor, the decor is cheap and nasty. The atrium area is ok but that's about it, it's much inferior to Warwick uni as i say
