This week, I’m joined by Simon Jordan, a successful entrepreneur and acclaimed TalkSPORT host for a fun and fiery debate, talking about foreign investments in sport, whether fans could run their beloved clubs, football fairytales like the incredible journey of Wrexham and the top traits of leadership.

    I listen to Talksport most days and love Simon. Sometimes he just argues for the sake of it on Talksport but here he is so calm, measured, unflustered, intelligent and eloquent. Even when Russel is getting angry and aggressive it doesn't phase him. So interesting to listen to.

    I dipped into this at 38:23. Simon said the following:
    You're sort of forecasting this dystopian future where football becomes something that is simply an end game for people with nefarious motives, or alternative intentions. Everyone's got an intention. Very few people have got an intention simply to do it for the love of football, right? Everyone wants to get something from it. So with that in mind, I've just given you a case in point where Luton in our leagues have proven the point that there is still the value of football being built in a certain way for the people from the people because of the people, right? Yeah. And we don't we don't, we don't lose the vibrancy of football, by the nature of ownership models that might have different intentions. We we we muddy the messages sometimes and we allow the broadcast world to fulfil the outcomes when we're constantly being listening to broadcasters pumping societal messages through football. You and I have discussed this on other platforms about the nature of football being leverage for other people's agendas and how that should be or could be a would be or shouldn't be. Yeah, in my view on the agenda...
    This is just waffle. This is not an intelligent person talking. Intelligent people make clear points in succinct language.

    Josh Windass learned his trade at Aberdeen... A team that suffers heavily from the current financial structuring of the English Premier league. As Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom, and the media outlets therein... the divvying of the pot and self justification of the stranglehold has meant that once European Champions have been left a few bounced cheques away from bankruptcy. They were the last team in Scotland outwith the Old Firm to win the now monopolistic Scottish Premier League... in 1984... Which is also a very good read.
