AN ANGRY Simon Jordan responded to one fan's idea.
Simon Jordan has slammed an idea from Chelsea fans for a statue of former owner Roman Abramovich to be put up outside Stamford Bridge. The former Crystal Palace owner described fans that were in favour of the statue as “hypocrites” after the Russian billionaire was forced to sell the club when he was sanctioned by the UK Government.
American businessman Todd Boehly’s £4billion takeover of Chelsea was completed on Monday, after Abramovich spent 19 years at the helm. Despite his successful tenure at the London club, Jordan believes it is a “stupid” idea for supporters to call for a statue of Abramovich outside Stamford Bridge.
He told talkSPORT: “Hypocrites. How can you have a man sanctioned to this point where he has to leave the country and has to give up the football club, and you moron wants to put a statue outside Chelsea.
I mean I am sorry but you have got to call somebody stupid when they are being stupid. That is stupid. How can you put a statue of a man that has been sanctioned outside a football club because he did something for you?
