Be Careful What You Wish For Author: Simon Jordan

ISBN: 9780224091824 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 416 Published: 9 May 2013 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 13.3 x 2.8 Description: An explosive insight into the previously unseen world of football club ownership by one of the game's most-recognisable figures. Ever dreamed of owning your own boyhood football club?

Simon Jordan grew up a stone's throw from Crystal Palace Football Club. As a boy he used to break into the Palace ground for a kick-about on the hallowed turf. On leaving school he entered the mobile phone business. By the age of thirty-two, he'd built a company from nothing, sold it for £75 million and bought his childhood club. By the age of forty-two Palace was in administration and Jordan had lost nigh on everything.

Be Careful What You Wish For lifts the lid on the owner's story and reveals for the first time how the national game really works. Jordan spares no one, least of all himself, as he takes us inside a world where hopes and aspirations sit alongside greed, self-interest, overpriced players, dodgy transfers and top-level incompetence. He doesn't hold back.

Breathtakingly honest, highly controversial, humorous and full of jaw-dropping anecdotes, Be Careful What You Wish For...
