Simon Jordan LAUNCHES RANT about Glasner as he REACTS to Crystal Palace's Conference League GLORY!

Simon Jordan expresses his pleasure for Crystal Palace fans after their Conference League win, despite his view that the tournament is lesser compared to the Champions League. He acknowledges it's a significant achievement for the club and provides a gateway to the Europa League. He highlights the success of English clubs from London in the competition.

Jordan addresses the regret surrounding Oliver Glasner's departure despite winning three trophies in 12 months. He explains that Glasner is a 'very difficult character to deal with' and that the financial well-being of the club outweighs individual demands. Jordan, having run a football club, emphasizes the tough choices owners face and praises Steve Parish's overall effectiveness for Crystal Palace.

Jordan argues that Glasner's demanding nature and potential for 'meltdowns' make it difficult to run a club by simply giving him everything he wants. He suggests that Glasner agreed to leave due to unfulfilled support. While acknowledging Glasner's success, Jordan asserts it's not a guarantee of sustained success if the club's financial stability were jeopardized. He states that Glasner is the greatest manager Crystal Palace has had in terms of achievement.

Messages from Crystal Palace fans express joy at the victory but regret Glasner's departure, fearing a regression. Jordan reiterates that Glasner knew the club's financial constraints upon joining and that his outbursts were for 'reputational enhancement.' He emphasizes the commercial realities of football, arguing that owners cannot always risk everything to satisfy a manager's demands, especially when considering the significant financial investment for player transfers.

A caller, Darren, questions Simon Jordan's seemingly angry tone and asks him to share in the fans' ecstatic mood. Jordan clarifies that he is pleased for the club and fans but is defending the ownership's decisions based on his experience running a football club, highlighting complex financial and managerial considerations. Another caller, Martin, expresses frustration over the club's history of losing managers after success due to lack of investment, a sentiment Jordan partially agrees with, acknowledging the 'commercial reality'.
