Quote from: Blagg on June 12, 2018, 12:39:49 PMQuote from: Villan For Life on June 12, 2018, 12:18:09 PMI cant work Simon Jordan out. On one hand hes very pro-Villa and on social media he regularly slags our rivals off. On the other hand I wonder why he does it. Hes wealthy but does he have the kind of wealth that would enable him to become involved at Villa? Or is he another chancer, a vulture circling a carcass ready to snap us up for a pittance if the unthinkable happens?He was pretty high profile at Palace but he strikes me as a chancer with his eye on the next opportunity.Jordan's Wikipedia page makes interesting reading, regarding his time at Crystal Palace. Cash flow problems and administration, but also securing the future of the club by arranging the purchase of the ground from the previous chairman. Amongst the highlights are overseeing Steve Bruce's 'resignation' which ended up in courtStrange how the cash stopped right around the play off final defeat though.....amazing how the government let the money come through for the last 2 years. Maybe there was enough for funding of the gamble, when we got defeated the gambler stopped chasing his losses?

If Axia doesn’t have any money we will surely be granted some leeway with regards to financial penalties etc? I mean it is the responsibility of the FA to ensure that owners are ‘fit and proper’ after all?
Still no proper, meaningful statement then? [/quoteNo and I don’t think there will be one
Whatever he says does it really matter?Nothing would appease the fans, everything would be second guessed. He has no respect here anymore. If it wasn't so important he'd be a laughing stock. The phoney needs to disappear but I can't see anyone coming in for us anytime soon so we are stuck with a gambler with no idea and his yes men. Oh and Steve Round and his football phillosophy, whatever the fuck that means.

Oh and Steve Round and his football phillosophy, whatever the fuck that means.It matters greatly AJ. I want to know if we are looking for another Manager, will we have a budget to strengthen the side, is the ambition promotion or top ten, or survival. I want to know if the club is being restructured, are people's jobs safe, is Xia selling the club or looking for major/minor investment, what is the plan, should we be as worried as the press would have us believe? I agree that he has little to no credit left but showing some leadership might regain him some. Is he reviewing Round's position? So many questions but so little leadership.
