Jack Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 Link Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has revealed he intends to sell the Championship club. Jordan, who bought Palace out of administration in 2000, says he has grown disillusioned with the game. The Palace chairman decided to quit after a Football League tribunal awarded the club just £700,000 following John Bostock's move to Spurs. "Without a shadow of a doubt, this is my last year. I've taken the club as far as I can," Jordan said. "It's my specific intention to find a buyer this season. I will do nothing to affect manager Neil Warnock and I will be absolutely committed to the club and I will find a responsible buyer. "I am not de-motivated by the team, manager or fans. But I have been disillusioned with football for a long time. "I kept my sanity by pumping millions of pounds into my academy, feeling the saving grace of my club was finding players who would be chomping at the bit and honoured to play in the first team but that's been taken away from me as well. "Bostock was one of the best players my academy has produced in the last 10 years and he has been sold for a packet of crisps."
Darkzzz_ Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 Do feel for him to a certain degree, although I think the guy is a ****. They were "Raped" on the Bostock deal.
Corky Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 The bloke is a knob, but he had a real passion for Palace, and I agree with him about the tribunal.
Tommy G Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 He's a bellend But he's right This Bostock best be good!
davieG Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 A lot of what he says on many aspects of the game is good - if he could just find a way of saying it so that people didn't feel he was an arse.
Alexikokopops Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 Pretty much agree with the sentiments in this thread.
allard7 Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 He's a bellendBut he's right This Bostock best be good! a lad who played for the acadmy who now plays for swansea after gettin released said that bostock was the best player he had seen ever. so on that bases ?
Samilktray Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 a lad who played for the acadmy who now plays for swansea after gettin released said that bostock was the best player he had seen ever. so on that bases ? He doesnt watch much football.
allard7 Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 He doesnt watch much football. what i ment to say was that he had played against at youth level
James. Posted 16 July 2008 Posted 16 July 2008 A lot of what he says on many aspects of the game is good - if he could just find a way of saying it so that people didn't feel he was an arse. I agree. Although I happily forgive him for being an arse as he is one of few Chairmen who consistently speaks sense. Refreshing and, if he does sell up, a personality that will be missed.
Raj Posted 17 July 2008 Posted 17 July 2008 I must be the only twat who likes the heavily sun tanned twat!!! He DOES speak alot of sense and football needs refreshing voices like him instaed of old faggots whom actually control football(And mostly know fcuk all about it!) I can understand why people think he's a twat....but he is a sort of likeable twat.....like me really!!!
Joinesy77 Posted 17 July 2008 Posted 17 July 2008 Hated Simon Jordan. What an orange tw*t! Although do think that they have been treated unfairly in the Bostock deal. It just seems like the big teams can do what they want and just get away with it. Don't think that Bostock will be that good anyway and he should have stayed at Palace because he won't get a game at Spurs.
dandannieldanok Posted 17 July 2008 Posted 17 July 2008 Hated Simon Jordan. What an orange tw*t! Agreed, and as for the Bostock deal, I don't really think people on here are qualified to start saying Palace got a raw deal because I doubt many have seen him in action. Only time will tell if Spurs got a bargain.
Simi Posted 20 July 2008 Posted 20 July 2008 Great interview with him in the NOTW today. On Ronaldo "I'm sorry little boy, you signed a 5 year contract. Sulk and pout as long as you want but you will do as your told."
