Crystal Palace can be the Manchester United of the south

Crystal Palace can be the Manchester United of the south, according to former chairman Simon Jordan

Simon Jordan says there is no ill feeling towards Crystal Palace, despite ploughing millions of pounds of his own money into the club.

Jordan was Crystal Palace owner and chairman for ten years taking them out of administration in 2000 and on a rollercoaster journey before then falling back into administration again in 2010.

But there are no hard feelings from the former owner, and on the contrary, the boyhood Palace fan only wants to see the club be successful.




Speaking to Sky Sports show Premier League World, Jordan said: "When I bump into Crystal Palace fans it's always with the greatest warmth and a touch of sadness and the touch of sadness is reciprocated.

"Crystal Palace is a team I was the owner of for ten years, that my dad played for and supported for 47 years. I want them to be successful and I think Palace has another opportunity again, like it did at the end of the 1970s and going into the 80s, when it was a club that was perceived as the Manchester United of the south and I think it has that opportunity again.

"And I wish the fans all the success that goes with that."

[Questions]

They are ....... They're hated like Man U.

 

[lawros left foot]

Ah yes, I remember the Team of the Eighties, whatever happened to them?

 

[Bozza]

Manchester United are the third best club in the North West.

Palace could be the third best club in South London.

 

[Notters]

Thanks for posting, I do like a laugh on a Thursday evening.

 

[Notters]

Those halcyon days of the early 80s where they had one season in the top flight finishing 13th.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Looks like he's wearing a syrup

 

[Driver8]

Weren't they the team of the eighties?

Edit. Meant to quote Notters but can't work out how to do so retrospectively.

This is like one of those very posh Christmas cracker jokes, that no one finds funny!!

Old Trafford - 'Theatre of Dreams'

Selhurst Park - 'Selhurst Park'

 

[Icy Gull]

Without the success

 

[Insel affe]

Without the success

[B-right-on]

I blame it on LSD, known for wierd halucinations and a serious disconnection from reality.

Thank God for Tony Bloom

Minor correction required.

What a funny little man.

No.

 

[Murray 17]

Manchester United won't be relegated again, Palace will be lucky if they're still in the top flight in 5 years. They're a medium/small club, and like other similar-sized clubs, spend their time moving between the top 2 divisions.

We can be the Barcelona of the south, but that's not likely to ever happen either

 

[Tom Bombadil]

It's these sort of delusional claims that make them the joke they are. A hint of success and they're getting carried away with themselves.
