Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/Football/Headlines/0,,12555~1475738,00.html Discuss Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has sensationally branded Newcastle United a small club in an exclusive interview with Virgin Media Sport. Jordan, who earlier this year revealed his desire to sell Championship side Palace and get out of football, also astonishingly dismissed Dennis Wise's abilities as Director of Football and labelled football fans as fickle. Newcastle chairman Mike Ashley was forced to put the club up for sale following Toon Army protests following the resignation of Kevin Keegan three months ago. But Jordan has labelled football fans fickle and defended the right of a chairman to make money from the game. Jordan said: "There has to be an element of respect for the fact that he (Mike Ashley) poured £250million into the club. "Football fans have very short memories, they don't regard John Hall very highly up in Newcastle, even though the man re-built their club. "Mike's situation to me is ludicrous, he's gone in there and realised it's expensive and it's going to get worse." Despite his understanding of Ashley's precarious situation, Jordan questioned his decision to appoint former Leeds united manager Dennis Wise as Director of Football claiming the former Chelsea midfielder knows nothing about buying foreign players. Jordan added: "I don't know why he's got Dennis Wise in there, I wouldn't have him as Director of Football at my club, because I probably could write what Dennis knows about players abroad on the back of a postage stamp. "I've been up at Newcastle many times, and this Geordie Roar they talk about, I've never heard it, the only time I've ever heard it is when they score. "Newcastle fans have got to face the fact they're not a big club, they're a big club in Newcastle, not anywhere else and this expectation level that is put on managers up there is grossly unfair."

Syrette Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You seriously don't know who one of the game's biggest attention seekers is? He's a man so accomplished he calls himself a failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 How bitter? Jordan's opinion is null and void because he looks like a woman. I just hope he enjoys life in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Credit where credit is due to be fair. His comments about David Gold and David Sullivan in this month's FourFourTwo are pretty funny. And he's spot on with this comments about WAGs. Choice snippets I'll impart with you all as I am bored; I'm 6ft 2in, and they're both below 5ft 4in, so I've never seen eye to eye with them. I said if I had to hear that story again I would impale myself on one of his dildos. I do mate, but my joke was implying I didn't. Weren't sure if that was a joke or not tbh.

It's because he complained in his column once about David Gold always going on and telling the story about him being a "poor East End boy made good", what with all the money he has made through porn.

Teasy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 This isn't even worth posting, yet more bitter no nothing drivel from one of the most annoying loud mouth ponces in Football today.
