I’ve never liked the bloke but I’ve just been listening to TalkSPORT

David Sullivan has been on basically telling everyone he’s the world’s greatest chairman and how difficult it is but he’s doing everything he can for West Ham

This was followed by a number of supporters wanting him out and saying who they should have signed

Jordan allowed them to say their piece and then told each one the facts of the matter and how clubs should be operating and conducting themselves

I thought he came across really well and talked a lot of sense

I’ll certainly have more time for him from now on.

I've been listening to him for a while now and must admit I enjoy his output. Usually very knowledgeable and well balanced views.

I agree - although slightly pompous and 'I know more than you' he does generally make some very good points on most areas

Yeah he often speaks quite sensibly about most things.

I mean he does love the sound of his own voice I think.... but often shamefully I find myself agreeing with him.

I personally enjoy when he regularly makes Jim White look like the slime that he is

Agreed.

I don't get to hear him very often - I'm not entirely sure when he's on, if indeed he has a regular slot - but talks a lot sense.

Still a Palace wanker though.

Yep - I enjoyed the podcast series he did with Danny Kelly and this sums it up. Interesting to hear from someone who has been there, done it and had his fingers burnt. You just need to get past the pomposity.

I think he is the best on Talk Sport. Rather then just pundits interesting to hear from somebody that has run a club. Incidently was he supportive of Sullivan.

Was it one or two administrations under his ownership? I hear him handing out his sage advice to other chairman and chuckle a little bit.

Good value though and I don’t dislike him

Just turned out - won't last long because Trevor Sinclair is on there. He was on last week saying there was systematic racism in football still, how he had no opportunities in management etc etc. Probably nothing to do with his convictions for assault and racially abusing a police officer...

Both Jordan and Parrish are alright by me.

Wilf is a decent sort as well. He's my favourite pantomime villain and I can't wait to BOO him again in person - but he seems a nice chap IRL.

Having listened to that interview myself the one question I have is he said Moyes’s symptoms were a sore throat which he put down to shouting, I thought a sore throat IS NOT a symptom of Covid 19 ?

TalkSPORT Monday-Thursday, 10am-1pm.

As is the general consensus on here unfortunately I've found myself agreeing with a lot he says, and the forthright way he puts it across. He speaks his mind without being overly bothered if it upsets someone, and cuts right across the DRIVEL routinely spouted by that sycophantic cretin Jim Shite.

You do get the impression that if he was an ice cream he'd lick himself though.

He's always pretty up-front about the fact that he made a lot of mistakes and f*cked things up. He's speaking from a position of experience now, having learned a harsh lesson from those mistakes.

Incidentally, his book Be Careful What You Wish For is a cracking read, some amazing anecdotes from behind the glossy curtain of the PL.

Jordan’s autobiography is well worth a read.
