Nice one Simon, I don’t think you could get a more eloquent explanation of the current situation than this. If you’re going to take a political stance, that’s fine, no one has a problem with that. Just keep it off the pitch, it’s supposed to be a place of sportsmanship, not protest.
I hate this channel and the presenters ... but this was a bloody good listen. It'd be great if we could hear more conversation like this in the sporting world. Or Jordan without Jim White.
@@triggerpod If you have good guests on with actual insight in their field like Simon instead of those making a living spouting nonsense / fashionable right wing opinions on the merryground of right wing echo chambers / social media I will!
Funnily enough, my mum kept saying how much she liked Simon Jordan on Talksport. I thought, "Oh that overly opinionated former Crystal Palace Chairman, no thanks." I gave it a go and, well, I've been hooked ever since!
I was always on the fence about Jordan. Was he a bellend or a bit of a hero? I couldn’t decide. But this interview has swung it for me. He’s a smart smart guy with some really well informed opinions. I like what he had to say and respect him for not holding back. Moreover for articulating perfectly what many of us think.
Heaven forbid I should publicly agree with a Lasher, but you’re spot on. I always assumed he was smug, but it’s probably just confidence in his (clearly well-considered) opinions. It takes a real man (person?) to stand up for his beliefs, especially when it runs against the prescribed opinion of the media, the FA, etc.
Only time I listen to talksite is when Jordan is on. You know what you`ll get from him, a strong opinion which is almost always built on facts and common sense. He`s the type of person who would succeed at almost anything he chooses to do, its a real shame he never entered the political arena. This country would be a far better place if it had more Simon Jordan`s in it.
Didn’t know who Simon Jordan was, but I prejudged him as a former football club owner. I was totally wrong about him, I really enjoyed this interview, cheers lads, out of the park again! Thanks to the 3 of you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Got his autobiography for chrimbo, which was excellent by the way so was really looking forward to this interview. Very articulate, confident and very, very opinionated. All attributes needed to be highly successful. Brilliant interview guys. Totally diverse guest. Keep it going.
I’m not really interested in football anymore but I’ve started listening to talk sport just because of this fella. He says what he means and stands by what he says. It’s very refreshing!
Damn this man. He's spot on about EVERYTHING! Terrific interview. 10 am Monday to Thursday on Talksport is the best place to seek refuge from the woke madness and his comments on 24 hour rolling news is so true. It's anathema to disseminating news.
This episode deserves more views. Like many Triggernometry groupies I almost didn't watch (don't care for professional sports/entertainment industry anymore since politics and virtue signalling took over) but this talk is fantastic. Thank you Simon !
I think Simon has touched on something when he talks about there being no answer to why there are no black football managers. I am on forums in my local area where people talk about minor crime - vandalism, petty theft etc etc. But no one will report it to the police. People just like to moan but wont do anything about it. A tree fell down just along the road from me a while ago, and most people's answer was to put something on the forum about it. I phoned the council on the Monday and they sent someone out to remove the tree. If I hadn't done something myself, nothing would have been done!! It maybe doesn't answer why there are no black managers, but it will confirm that they do like to moan about it. Am sure many teams would not care what colour their manager is, as a long as he (or she lol) won them the league!!!!!
@@andyscottow2250 Footballers and fans have been doing a lot for the causes they care about: From the Green Brigade's food kitchens to Rashford campaigning on school-meals. Who is he referring to as being inactive and merely grandstanding, then? If he means the FA, FIFA and UEFA then I agree, those institutions are the issue.
Simon is the guy that can be difficult to like but great to listen too, but ultimately respect, he’s very opinionated but a lot of his opinions are well thought out, he presents them eloquently and clearly. It’s refreshing in a world where everyone is too scared to say what they think.
I nearly didn't listen to this interview because I'm not interested in football. But I'm glad I did. It was really interesting - although, after all that, I can't remember what club he owns.
He used to own Crystal Palace, which is a shame really, Palace used to be a great team until the teams with the big bucks owners took over, unfortunately for most teams in the premier league and the lower leagues, they don’t have a look in, it’s roughly 5 or 6 teams sitting at the top and the rest haven’t a hope in hell, I wish Jimmy Hill hadn’t helped to remove the player wage cap, you’d have more teams competing for the title rather than a monopoly, as was evident recently in the “Breakaway League” where no one gets relegated. You can thank, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and the like for that one.
Sports people mostly have very limited knowledge. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but theirs shouldn’t carry any more weight than a plumber or a cashier in a shop.
we haven't even had an English manager win the Prem lge in all the 30'ish years it's existed...yet the self-hate mob don't even talk about that issue...never mind Black managers getting high profile jobs. no other serious European lge can say this. and they can't start trying to attribute this to British owners ( with legacies of slavery in their DNA just for being british..or whatever crap they can dream up ) as a lot of the owners in the PL are foreign anyway from a range of different countries and continents.
Just given up my season ticket and have started drifting away, even when ‘my’ team is in TV. The political gestures and messages are just one of many reasons why a passion I’ve had since 1963 (when I watched them lose 1-0 to Ipswich). I’ll save some money and live in memories and footage of George Best and Bobby Charlton thanks.
Me too mate, been watching The Arsenal since 1957. Wouldn`t like to know how much I`ve spent travelling around this country and Europe following them. The soppy woke banners around the ground was one thing but when I saw the players take a knee for a criminal junkie animal like Floyd and pander to a bunch of Marxist Black supremacists, that was my lot. The captain even makes black power salutes before every game. I still want them to win but they wont get another penny out of me. Sickened by the them.
I've listened to Talksport for quite a while....unfortunately it's become increasingly Woke and tiresome. Simon Jordan is only reason I still listen to it....plus his mangling of the English language is highly entertaining!
Epic content from Simon as usual. Not much quality out there at the moment with football, most people are just stating the obvious, but thankfully people like Simon are showing up more and more often
This argument was had back in the 60's when the Springboks from 'apartheid' South Africa were being rail loaded because of politics of the nation. Boring. But yeah, what has politics to do with sport?????? Actually, it is more about money than sport.
To be honest, I'm glad to be a supporter of a small but traditional swiss football club. We have great president grown up here and the owners club is also local. Not a big budget, but stable, we spend what we can afford. We just make fun about the "british" clubs throwing money around.
I think the black manager issue is that not enough footballers get a credentialed education, like say, in American college football where the system gets people educated and credentialed, and the powers that be feel confident in hiring black football coaches, because of that. A quota system would be a disaster and would be objectively racist and bigoted.

Wow wasn't expecting that to be so good. A credit to the borough of Croydon
The way that they’ve painted America is not necessarily accurate. There is a reason they say “don’t ask about the guilt of the offenders”. When they teach merit is racist, then you’ve got to ask is America really as racist as the media, sports (much owned by the CCP). There are people who believe and would have us all believe we as people of color are more oppressed today than during the 60’s civil rights. Love your channel but when Brits say “we don’t have the same racism as America” I think we have a wrong perception. Our true racism is the bigotry of low expectations, and that we have in spades.
I know nothing about football, never was interested, but loved the interview! Always nice to listen to an independent, intelligent thinker, operating with facts and logic, whatever he is talking about. Great questions, guys!
27:58 in regards to black managers, some families aren't supportive of their kids dream, the narrative that football is racist stops certain former players. However i will say i don't know. There seems to be an invisible wall.
I’d like to know how people in the UK perceive the US as institutionally racist. Often I hear them saying things like “We’re not like the US. We aren’t racist!” The only institutional racism I see is from the “anti-racists”
@@Seven_1865 No? You may well be right, but I would like you to elaborate on your claim that "the only institutional racism' is from the 'anti-racists'."
@@SacClass650 oh! Ok well proving a negative is difficult. But what I’m saying is that there is institutional racism, but the kind that sets higher standards for Asians at some schools or programs that allocate money for minorities that white people don’t have equal access to.
When leftwing politics infiltrated the sports I stopped watching. I can't stand these virtue signalling privileged millionaires. Because of wokeness the NBA is now dead. I very much enjoyed this talk. Quite refreshing and unexpected.
I quite like the patronising anti-racism message Sky Sports broadcast just before the kick off of a game. Gives me time to have a quick pee and put the kettle on without missing anything. On another note opposing all forms discrimination is not a good message. It makes total sense to discriminate against a convicted s** predator when looking for a babysitter!
His point about the self-employed and their tax declaration was on point. I heard on radio 4 a year ago some self emplyed person saying that the government support would be minimum wage and there was no way he could survive on that. Well, that support was based on his declared taxable income. If he cant live on what he declared he used to live on, wheres all that cash he didnt declare?
It can depend on timings. HMRC look at a minimum of the last 2 years declared income. If you went self employed in the last month of tax year 1, they would treat that one month's earnings as a whole years earnings when calculating your payment. In this scenario, someone who earned and declared an income of 20k a year would get around 8k ín the grant. If they made a loss in their first year, like many new businesses, they would get even less.
Another star to make it out of Chelsea & shine. (See Mo' Salah for details) Very hard to disagree with anything he said although the profiteering from a pandemic struck me as a bit frosty. He did say as much...Otherwise a great guest & clearly not a head-the-ball. Thanks.
Ideally there shouldn't be politics in sports but then you go to Rangers vs Celtic games and you have politics there... British vs Irish, Catholic vs Protestant etc.
Im a Palace supporter. Ive always liked Simon Jordan. He is out spoken and quite arrogant but He has conviction. Didnt work out at Palace, was 8 minutes away from building the club into something but we were all denied when the club was relegated.
It comes to something when I milk toast average bloke (albeit smart bloke) spouts common sense and ends up sounding like the next prophet because the Overton windows shifted in such a ludicrous way.
Having your own virtues affirmed by someone does not make them the next messiah, you've just interacted with someone who shares the same views as you. Get a grip.
@@SacClass650 Come off it mate he's sounding like a periah when all he's stating is logic. In fact the only opinion he's really spouted is a need to find causation. ...I'll grant you though the messiah thing was a bit much.
Good stuff here. +ve discrimination can work but it is rare from what I see. Locally Sol Campbell was a gifted footballer but at Macclesfield Town he quickly alienated the players and some support staff as the focus from him was on his own performance as opposed to the team. Perhaps gifted players struggle to transmit down to mere mortals. Loads of top footballers fail in management.
Simon I don't want to get it twisted but Micheal chopra is mix race he is only half Asian in this country when we go parks we see Indians bengali and Pakistanis play football strange how non of them have become footballers lol atleast there is black players as Asians there is not even one.
Simon Jordan says racism is not a serious problem in England, as if racism is the only malady that could negatively affect a society. Has England erased all its class prejudices? Maybe the coach candidates failed to attend all the correct schools. The proper response to the non-football fans complaining about non-proportional representation among coaches and owners is to ignore them. I have no doubt that if a club's real fans had an existential issue with their selection of coaches, the owners would address their concerns PDQ.
Show me the timecode on the video where he said that? As he didnt. He spoke about the claim about ‘institutionally racist’, we need to talk in these terms as this is the term the left speak in. No one would say racism doesnt exist, but ‘institutional racism’ is undefined and not allowed to be questioned as a claim. Here in lies the distinction.

Having your own virtues affirmed by someone does not make them the next messiah, you've just interacted with someone who shares the same views as you. Get a grip.
@@SacClass650 Come off it mate he's sounding like a periah when all he's stating is logic. In fact the only opinion he's really spouted is a need to find causation.
...I'll grant you though the messiah thing was a bit much.
Money makes the players soft! In China the players have to stay in camps for 5 days of the week! We should have that in the U.K.!
Good stuff here. +ve discrimination can work but it is rare from what I see. Locally Sol Campbell was a gifted footballer but at Macclesfield Town he quickly alienated the players and some support staff as the focus from him was on his own performance as opposed to the team. Perhaps gifted players struggle to transmit down to mere mortals. Loads of top footballers fail in management.
Such great comments. Came here to laud a sensible, level-headed intelligence... but I see we've done that! More leaders like this in our lives please.
I watched 6 minutes and this man is a working class genius
Is he related to Mickey Flannigan by any chance? A very strong resemblance 🙂
Must watch for football fans. Grow up England!
Simon I don't want to get it twisted but Micheal chopra is mix race he is only half Asian in this country when we go parks we see Indians bengali and Pakistanis play football strange how non of them have become footballers lol atleast there is black players as Asians there is not even one.
Simon Jordan says racism is not a serious problem in England, as if racism is the only malady that could negatively affect a society. Has England erased all its class prejudices? Maybe the coach candidates failed to attend all the correct schools. The proper response to the non-football fans complaining about non-proportional representation among coaches and owners is to ignore them. I have no doubt that if a club's real fans had an existential issue with their selection of coaches, the owners would address their concerns PDQ.
Show me the timecode on the video where he said that? As he didnt. He spoke about the claim about ‘institutionally racist’, we need to talk in these terms as this is the term the left speak in. No one would say racism doesnt exist, but ‘institutional racism’ is undefined and not allowed to be questioned as a claim. Here in lies the distinction.
Always thought Jordan was a smart guy and after watching this it has just confirmed it imo. A breath of fresh air from someone from msm.
Never heard someone talk so much clear sense
