By the age of 36, technology maestro Simon Jordan had made nearly £40 million. Then in six years he lost it all supporting Crystal Palace. Literally supporting them, that is, as he sacrificed his entire fortune to keep everyone, from agents to Ade Akinbadbuy, in the luxury lifestyle they expect.
Be Careful What You Wish For (Yellow Jacket) is the story of how a sharp businessman was taken to the cleaners after he saved the club he loved.
Jordan saying he might be interested in being part of a consortium bid for CCFC
Former Crystal Palace owner 'interested' in CCFC consortium bid
Yes it seems. He's since confirmed it was purely observational."im looking at ccfc"
wouldnt be the way to start a tweet if it was just a observation surely?
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
That's not going to stop the Telegraph and GilbertYes it seems. He's since confirmed it was purely observational.
No mate! But he will do :happy:
I think half on here haven't read it and are going by his tweet alone.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 suggested Mandaric a while back, he has a pretty decent record to be fair
I like this, we have ourselves a stalking horse to turn the heat up on Fisher & Seppala.
No.Was it Mandaric?
But he did give the impression that investing with others may appeal to him.Of course it was observational! It's a non story, you could tell that when he was first talking about that Simon was trying to lead him to say something about SISU to get stories out of it.
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
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
Blimey, that's some wind if it's blown your roof to screwfix...
Made me laugh, I just need some roofing sheet screws that's all. I do like going to Screwfix though, strange that
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.
That's what it seems to have been taken as.The new fact will be that Simon Jordan is taking over CCFC.
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.About MR SIMON JORDAN

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.
He mentioned past owners didn't he? Also the shit stadium deal.Wasn't he talking about when he was looking at the club.
