Copied and pasted. I do like some of the things Jordan says! Is he a closet fan!?
Simon Jordan: "They've got to get themselves together on the field. They spent a long time out of the Premier League, a few years back in it, and they're back out again. It's a brilliant football club. It's-I've said previously, whenever I went up there, the most intimidating environment was Elland Road. "
"Leeds United are building a 53,000 all-seater stadium inside the Championship because they're building it for the future. It shows you the scale of that football club. It shows you the scale of opportunity. It's one of those remarkable football clubs. Radrizzani was a catalyst and a lightning rod. Wasn't the most affable of fellows, but notwithstanding that, he was an achievement-based individual that took Leeds from the doldrums-many, many years outside the Premier League-to back in the Premier League, right? He made them, for one period of time, everyone's second favorite team.
"The capacity of the new Elland Road would be the seventh-largest of any club ground in the country. The heritage of these football clubs, you can't take it out of your mind's eye.

Does sound like he is out and proud as a leeds fan bright!
Bit of a no brainer the 49ers increasing the stadium. With so many on the waiting list for season tickets. Could do 60k and still fill Elland Road.
Extra money generation to cover ffp etc.
Jordan does speak well sometimes but all too often he tries to be too confrontational or controversial. But that's the media all over.

Not sure radz made them everybody fav second team. Think that was a chubby geezer.
And what’s a closet fan. Somebody that dosent go to matches?

Jordan has been bigging Leeds up for years and especially the ER atmosphere.
IMO the best “pundit” about.
25 Sep 2024 19:08:13
Simon Jordan definitely a Leeds fan or at very least has a very soft spot for Leeds United
He is in his late 50s so would have grown up watching the sublime Revie team in the 1970s at least.
Leeds one of his fave subjects, always complimehtary about them.

The great Bielsa yes
Radz not so
Orta no
Orta by the way was booed by tbe Sevilla fans last Sunday match . they hate him.

Baz don’t be too anti Radz mate. Let’s not forget what he did for our club. He literally changed Leeds from a nothing club to a team going places and with everyone talking about them. Them were fabulous years which will be talked about for years to come. Even now back in the championship we are still way ahead of what we were before his tenure.
25 Sep 2024 21:24:05
No, he is just misunderstood, Baz. ?
A fans demo end of last season was just fans being fickle and clueless also.
25 Sep 2024 22:56:20
Corky . I hear you to an extent ;
but bottom line PR Radz and Orta blew several great opportunities to really progress and establish LUFC in EPL and that really grates!
Meanwhile the likes of wee Brentford are into their 4th consecutuve EPL season . sound ownership
Let that fact sink in Corkster ?.
25 Sep 2024 23:01:18
Goodness gracious Chissy . an end of seasons fan demo . Quelle surprise . and Signor Orta still justs about clings onto Sevilla DoF role.
I estimate vast (96%) majority of Boro, Leeds and Sevilla fans abhor wrecking ball VO.

I’m good friends with nick Moran (lock stock) who is very close mates with Simon, by all accounts he is a lovely bloke and speaks as he finds. I’ve always found him good to listen to and glad he is another London born leeds fan, we are the best
