Simon Jordan - "Wendies Bigger club than Sheffield Utd"

[Prestonblade]

Draw your own conclusions, and in my lifetime since I started supporting United in 1987, I'd say we have been the bigger club since then. All about opinions though. UTB.

It’s always a great sign of a big club when you’ve got to keep reminding everyone you’re a big club. “We are famous, honest!!!”

I’ve always felt this to be the case.

He is a South London spiv. He often speaks quickly, liberally sprinkling unusual vocabulary - albeit, not always using the words correctly - through his monologues which seems to have created for some, a false impression that he is in some way intelligent or is some sort of sage in matters of football governance.

Whenever I hear him on one of his spiels, I can’t help but recall how another South Londoner - Dave Bassett - also used to speak with that 100mph delivery which was often laced with misplaced or simply wrong words. It is as if their brains can’t keep up with their mouths.

The difference between the two men, of course, is that Harry was a genius and excelled in his chosen vocation where as Jordan had a huge and costly failure.

Bang on

I agree with Sportbilly /Detroit Blade , that comparisons are meaningless.

It's probably true that if both clubs were doing well and on a par, they would get bigger attendances. However the main reason for that is that their rusty pile of shite ground still holds about 7,500 more than ours (assuming parts of it haven't been closed). In terms of fanbase, historically they always had more but I think this has evened out since around the year 2000 and we may even have more.

You can't really compare trophies won as apart from a League Cup, neither has won anything significant since before WW2. They will say they have 4 League wins, however we won the FA Cup 4 times and at the time that was more prestigious, just check the attendances for pre-war cup games compared to League games.

However, it's quite clear that our current standing and financial position and assets is far, far better than theirs.

After the derby ones things clear Wendy fans are far bigger primark shoppers than us

Whilst I dont agree with him on this issue ,I'd say he usually speaks a lot of sense and he's not afraid of saying it to whoever....
People do like listening to him .

They could be 10 times bigger for all I care. I still wouldn't wipe my arse on one of their shirts. Because my arse (for all it's disgusting, middle aged imperfection) still deserves better.

My nob is bigger than Leonardo Di Caprio's but he's currently shagging models and I'm not.

I'd rather be watching my club in the Prem than telling everyone how "big" we are.

1st how do you know your nob is bigger than his.anything you'd like to tell us.
