Simon Jordan can come across as an eloquent bully at times
A rather malcontent, well-known ex-Premier League owner has criticised the likely new Leicester City manager. Marti Cifuentes left Queens Park Rangers under particularly strange circles, it must be said. The Spaniard supposedly had his head turned by another club (said to be West Bromwich Albion), and was placed on 'gardening leave' by QPR. Cifuentes subsequently departed from Loftus Road. While the R's cleared a compensation stipulation in his agreement.

Yet footballers, along with coaches and sports staff, are somewhat commodities who technically owe no allegiance to the rich and seemingly powerful (but in reality fairly powerless and often callous) people holding their contracts. Simon Jordan knows this as well as anybody! Footballing agreements are, as we all well know, there to be broken. Though the former chairman is a chief agitator on the platform talkSPORT; the unnecessarily lively gateway to the eccentric fans among us.
In other words, one-time Crystal Palace owner Jordan is a censorious and vindictive individual desperately searching for any missing scruples to pinpoint for content. If there is nobody to chastise, he will aim his sights at anyone he believes is remotely in the wrong and blast!
Now, amidst his significant switch to Leicester, a bigger and more influential team over the previous decade than some like to admit, Cifuentes is under Jordan's unruly cosh.

So, why has Jordan lambasted Cifuentes so unfairly? Maybe the 43-year-old deserved a bit of criticism, but labelling him a "disloyal rodent" for potentially bettering himself or hearing what interested parties have to say is unnecessary, nasty and apparently incorrect.
Jordan targeted the apparent disloyalty of Cifuentes for being open to a move. But the former has no basis to say any of this, in spite of formerly being Eagles owner. That's because the 57-year-old is not privy to insider QPR relationships or arguments. Nor possible broken promises made in West London.
