Clubs in trouble

[Chris Smith]

Who will it have been who called the administrators into Crystal Palace? I assume Simon Jordan, but anyone know any different?

I heard one of the Administrators iterviewed on the radio last week and he wouldn't say who it was just that it was a business which was owed money by Palace. He said that the director's were not happy but were co-operating.

a hedge fund called Agilo apparently who were owed £5m and thus wanted to force the sale of Moses and ensure all the money was paid to creditors.

they specialised in going into trouble companies and basically asset stripping

What fcuking idiots then. They devalued Palace's one sellable asset, jeopardised the side's chance to push for the profitable play-offs and that's that. Idiots.

wanted their cash I guess, that overrides any other concerns.

If I see another David Gold interview on the poor East End Jewish boy done good I'll impale myself on one of his dildos.

My opinion of Simon Jordan has risen exponentially on the basis of that quote alone.

Jordan used to write a column in The Observer each week and it completely altered my opinion of the bloke, he wasn't afraid to say exactly what he thought of fellow chairmen and owners (especially Sullivan and Gold)and the suits at the F.A. and he spoke an awful lot of sense.

Not really of any relevance, but it amuses me

My brother was at a wedding in Puerto Banus a couple of years ago, at which several football people were present (including, strangely, Ron Atkinson sat very close to some former very well known Blues hooligan names, but that's going off on a tangent).

Simon Jordan was invited, turned up late in one of those McClaren F1 road cars, ponced around with shades on indoors all night, wore a sweater over his shoulders like a 1930s Eton fop, and acted a total 'look at me' ****** the entire evening.

Admittedly he does look and act like a an orange skinned 80's throwback foppish c*** but his columns were ace.

He's going to impale himself on David Sullivan?

And he likes the Specials. Another plus.

I'm fairly certain he had a part in getting them (almost) back together as he was hoping to promote a stadium gig. Doesn't look much like a Rude boy though.

Good to see Man Utd still in deep trouble.

Their recent bond issue is one of the worst performers on the market and may restrict them from returning to the bond market to refinance their refinanced, refinanced debts.

I thought that their bond issue went really well?  Or is it a case of them all getting taken up and then performing like shite?

I saw Simon Jordan in London the other day. He was wearing shorts, football socks and was whistling. It was in Mayfair.

And that's not a lie. And I'm not even going to make up a song about it.

Ahhh go on.

[Glenn Peen]

OK (to the tune of 'We're on the march...'):

Who's that standing up in Mayfair?
Who's that wearing football socks?
It's Jordan and his shorts
And he looks like he's got warts
And he's got those bloody awful blondey locks
