Simon : nobody wants a regulator in football... Also Simon : football agents should be regulated.. Everyone but the owners

Does Simon Jordan think the story of Jesus Christ on the cross is from 'a TV show in the 1970s'? Lol

Ask Portsmouth, Reading & Bury fans, to name 3 clubs whose owners needed regulating well before their clubs entered multiple administrations

no such thing as "independent"....... everyone can be bought...... the only thing that can bring actual transparency into the sport, is to allow EVERY "mortal" to be able to look into these matters...... for instance, let the public see the paperwork of those City FFP charges...... anything else is not trustworthy enough

If the performance of other regulators us anything to go by football hasn't got a great deal to worry about. Regulators tend to go native

No industry wants regulation. Any industry that fights this hard against regulation is one that needs it most.

I say bring it on! Something has to be done to stop the rich clubs getting richer and the smaller clubs can go to hell, the ESL and unscrupulous foreign ownership etc. If you don’t want this then start putting the fans first for a change! (i.e., ticket prices, kick-off times etc).

It pretty simple as soon as the regulator is appointed they could move the head office out of the country somewhere like ireland so they will not have to deal with the regulator .

“,,,but right now what we got is a Revolution rather than an Evolution”,,,,”,,,if we’re not careful, these are existential threats to the value of this game” Mr. Jordan said it first! Much respect! On🔥

Feels like the chickens have come home to roost for english football

Hand over trust to the government and the game's fate is sealed for the worse.

The ESL starts next season, it’s already baked in just called something else. Seedings & co-efficients for payments etc.

Let the EPL destroy themselves, other leagues can now gain ground and come up.

Who Regulates the Regulator it never ends

This will be a disaster. In the end this intrusion will result in someone like Garreth south-gate becoming the England manager:(

I’ve gone from listening to Gary Stevenson speak about distribution of wealth, to Simon Jordan speaking about distribution of wealth. Come on boys keep fighting. We Thankyou!

No, we should let owners put clubs in Administration right Jordan? 🤡

Simon Jordan simply da man

I'm sure the government will make as good a job with football as they have with the NHS, Brexit and the railways.

Simon absolutely spot on. This will ruin football

Give us FCA regulation too. thatll sort it

Time for a luxury tax. That way ambitious clubs like Newcastle can spend what they will but the levy imposed on them will go to the other clubs. It's been a success in baseball 😀⚽️

The league especially Mr Masters has brought this on himself...

Of course Tory Simon doesn’t like it

You two keep going round and round talking about financial regulation and points deductions and blah, blah, blah. The elephant in the room is player greed. They are massively overpaid. Salary could be divided by a 100 and they'd still be well-paid.

The government has done such a good job with the NHS, the Post Office, the rail network, Brexit, etc. that they'll no doubt turn the most successful football league in the World into a clown show.

When someone can buy a club and get the league to go along with them and pretend the ones buying it aren't the ones buying it to allow a war criminal to own a club - that's a signal that something is massively, massively broken

, , , and one wonders if a relevant CV with the name Simon Jordan will be in the appropriate inbox. Man City certainly hope not !!!

Iav thing it's very good news for football ⚽️ instead of having points taken from football clubs football clubs can spend what they want then the next thing to happen is stop paying football players silly wages let football players get 12 pounds a hour instead of 80 thousands pounds a week iav work for 10 pounds a hour football players should not get paid all that amount

The regulator will end up be currupt bought bt Arab money

No one wants to pay taxes either😂. Football is getting a Regulator whatever Simon 🤡 Jordan says. The Premier League has royally screwed things up. Launching a crazy, spiteful, un-winnable case against City, catching clubs like Everton, Forest, Leicester, Chelsea in an FFP/PSR net designed to stop new competition and protect United, Liverpool etc - all clubs running large debts. And they’ve crimped any future growth at Newcastle, Villa, Wolves, Palace etc where owners want to invest, but can’t. The Premier League are sure doing a great job Simon 😂

Remember Brexit? Now u guys letting Politicians involve in football? C'mon!! What is this??

why ya blaming me for hustling Simon, bout ta get da paper, came up off da block with da regulator

So he finally admits the the implementation of VAR is currently damaging the game

'PL owners should be able to spend whatever they want' so in the same breath they can afford to pay more to the pyramid

You don't Simon, lots of fans, do! Clubs need bringing to heel. Big clubs running roughshed, and smaller clubs in lower divisions being bought by people not fit to run a market stall!

Football pundits need regulating.

Ideally, all football clubs will be like the ones in Germany where owner don't own most of the club & the fans own majority. I am sorry but football is the only sport in the world where you compete alongside your fans, the money & support you give is what gives meaning to the club. No offense but Girona, Man C, PSG & many other clubs owned by billionaires/oil states would still have this success with 0 fans, that's not a football club but a franchise, a business full on. The success of such clubs are no longer football clubs, it's no longer a sport & a fair competition if it all depends on the whims of owners. It's like hitting the lotto in getting a rich owner, a smart one & a owner that prioritizes competition.

The PGMOL and FA are corrupt, so if they regulate them then I’m for it. If a pundit is against it maybe he’s on the take from the old system?

Is Simon trying to claim that Cardiff got promoted because they wore red?

EPL-buys best players from any football league then says ‘Saudi league is the problem’.

Elite Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

No one cares about the EFL besides the individual fans of the clubs. You rep what you sow. Why should the premier league clubs hand over money

Sam equates success and money - football being successful is that it is fair and entertaining and sustainable. The billions brought in have ruined it not improved it

Sound rationale

I DO. Cant be worse than the mystery punishments being handed out.

Sadly a regulator is needed to stop the 3 red tops and spurs from destroy the pl

If a regulator isnt going to stop man citys owners who have poor human rights records from owning them because they are good for the economy then we might as well not have a regulator If clubs challenging city have to pay money to stoke and scunthorpe etc then they wont be able to buy players to challenge city so the elephant in the room needs sorting first and then id go along with it

Lmao 🤣

Why should the PL distribute anything ? they are not a charity ... EPL should learn to look after itself

Simon is performing for his big wig football owner friends that are terrified of regulation. Why would regulation be a good thing? Why have any rules? 😂😂

Brits love the governments hands in every pocket in their lives don’t they?

Finally the monopoly on winning will be broken. Gaining an on-field advantage by buying players you legally shouldn't have had on the field ... is cheating. Man City should have the last 10 years of trophies deleted from the record and relegated to the 3rd tier, minimum. Same has happened in other countries for clubs that have cheated. Man City need to be made an example of to stop other clubs doing the same. Hopefully the regulator will look at club ownership so clubs like Man City and Newcastle can't buy success with blood-money from oppressive regimes. If that is how you want your club to gain success? Says more about you.

Simon, I’m-a-failed-former-owner Jordan has no right to say anything on this subject. He is only interested in himself and has no interest in nonPL football. Cancel him

Simon Jordan day Simon Jordan slams Simon Jordan rips Simon Jordan blast Simon Jordan is not impressed Simon Jordan is bemused Simon Jordan is flabbergasted Simon Jordan fuming Simon Jordan is questioning Simon Jordan is not enjoying.
