I am sure many of you are aware of Simon Jordan (is on talksport Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm) What are your views of him? Your views of him during his spell at the club? I know he famously said that he will not return back to Selhurst Park (watch a game) because he felt the current owners or owner stole Palace from him. I think the guy does talk a lot of sense definitely the best person on Talksport. But if he was still here I cannot see how Palace would be an established EPL side as they are now.

I for one would love to actually know what is Jordan's beef with Parish and co-owners. What exactly was done wrong in Jordan's eyes? Additionally, Jordan as a pundit on Talksport is exceptional. Edited by indianapalace85 (30 Oct 2021 2.45am)

Failed owner so apparently that qualifies him as a media pundit on football! As for the Parish stole my club, Palace were bust when that happens the buyers hold the whip hand. How much did Jordan personally lose? He was forever telling us fans how much he put into the club but a bit shy about how much he took out, wages, loans, bonus, expenses etc. One more point

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle Read his book as all is explained there Excellent read and I rate him very highly on the radio. It would seem that he was probably too arrogant to run Pakace, as he needed outside help but refused it

Look at those that came through the academy during his tenure. I know he is unpopular at Palace and obviously dislikes Parish, with a vengeance, but he saved the club and I believe deserves some credit for the academy

I read his book some time ago but remember getting the overriding feeling he must be a nightmare person to work with or around and that in some instances he was only telling half the story. Edited by Rachid Rachid Rachid (30 Oct 2021 9.05am)

Loved the club and saved us at a critical time. Did all he could with him limited resources. Was noble in standing up against some of the football madness. Made some mistakes. Decent pundit, talks a lot of sense. But he is pretty annoying, can imagine him being insufferable to work with

Did his best. Liked his stance on agents. Not sure if he is still a fan though. He is exceptional on the radio though. Very clear and concise and tells it as it is.

Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 30 Oct 21 10.33am
It's all been said really. Did a lot of good for our club and I particularly admired his tough stance with agents. He, unfortunately, lacked the financial support and/or the business acumen to take us further. Speaks a lot of sense about football generally and I like to think he still has a soft spot for Palace. Didn't he use to live in a suite at the Grosvenor House Hotel? Always thought that was cool. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It all started really with Noades selling the club (but not the ground) to Goldberg for a large amount which probably busted him. The separation of club and ground was the cause of the club having financial problems for so long. Noades probably had reason to do what he did but. . . Fast forward to Jordan and he did have some good ideas some with the club and some from outside. Jordan then bought the ground back (no semantics please) and other people got involved (some still involved). The real problem was Neil Alexand er who while being paid and ostensibly working for Jordan was also giving information to our current owners (well most of them). As far as Jordan goes I probably wouldn't trust him too much but he was and is a big Palace fan which is what I would want from a chairman (that and lots of money and good acumen). Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

You mean Phil Alexander aka Teflon Phil the supposed Chief Executive Officer under quite a few owners including Simon Jordan and who was allegedly feeding confidential financial information to Parish whilst still in Jordan's employ.
