Jordan’s blast at PFA

FORMER crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan was outspoken on talkSPOrT yesterday, criticising the Professional Footballers’ Association following

Sports Agenda revelations that the players’ union are set to receive £27m a year from the Premier league for another TV rights cycle next season.

Jordan fully supported this column’s belief that the PFA should be self-supporting, saying: ‘There is no justification’ for the Pl to bankroll them.

Jordan added: ‘The PFA should be funded by the players but 90 per cent wouldn’t pay anything. i have yet to meet a player who attaches any significant value to what the PFA do. They are outdated, outmoded and unnecessary.’
