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."

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

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.
