Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan is furious with reports suggesting that he is interfering in team matters. Jordan is said to be disrupting morale at Selhurst Park with his involvement .

Simon Jordan, however, dismisses these allegations as well as the reported claims that he had a bust up with midfielder JAMIE POLLOCK, who was banned from the first team recently and now on loan at Birmingham City.

Fact is that Palace are stumbling from one crisis to another the past couple of months.

The Eagles have lost their last 6 games and are now fighting relegation to Division Two. First team coach Glenn Cockerill was the first to be sacked after the poor run of results.

Jordan replied to the allegations: It's total rubbish. I would never undermine the manager."

Meanwhile, The Eagles Under-17's beat their Reading counterparts by two goals to nil on Monday night.

James Gibson and Ben Watson were the goalscorers in the game that was played at the Palace National Sports Centre.
