The book is interesting because it opens up some of the behind the scenes machinations of the game, which it has to be said are far from appealing. Just like Ian Ridley's Floodlit Dreams, about that author's time as owner of Weymouth FC, Jordan's offering does not make you want to own a club yourself with all the politics, pettiness and egos that go with it. Despite Newcastle's recent woes, Jordan also questioned why some sections of the club's supporters are so 'toxic' towards their manager. In 2012 Jordan published an account of his life, an autobiography Be Careful What You Wish For. The book recounts his business success in the cellular phone business, but mostly focuses on his time as the youngest ever owner of a professional football club as chairman of Crystal Palace Football Club.

Be Careful What You Wish For by Simon Jordan | Goodreads

He has described himself as being "good enough to be a professional, but mentally I wasn't interested. You often get players who have bags of talent, but not the required application. I was one of them." [2] His father Peter Jordan played for the Palace youth team, but never made an appearance for the first team. Very enjoyable and interesting read for anyone who loves the game. You don't have to be a Palace fan to enjoy it, nor do you have to be particularly fond of Simon Jordan. While we do get to learn about how he built his multi-million pound fortune, the majority of the book is based on his work in football, and only briefly touches on more personal issues - which is good. Breathtakingly honest, highly controversial, humorous and full of jaw-dropping anecdotes, Be Careful What You Wish For is far more than a football book. It is a social commentary on the culture of great wealth and ambition; a Shakespearean tragedy that exposes the dark side of chasing a dream. The perfect Christmas gift for all football fans.
