Be Careful What You Wish For

Product Information

Alias Grace also concerns itself with the life and experiences of Dr. Simon Jordan, an American doctor with an interest in cerebral diseases and nervous afflictions. Though trained as a medical doctor, Dr. Jordan turned to research on mental illness due to his fascination with the mysteries of the human mind. He has traveled widely to study so-called “lunatics” and “hysterics,” and he hopes to establish his own asylum, where he can develop and test his psychological theories. Dr. Jordan considers himself a scientist. As such, he seeks rational explanations for phenomena that many people in his time still explain in terms of religion and occult superstition. He believes that with enough information, the emerging field of psychology will be able to understand how the human mind works and find the means to cure a range of mental afflictions. Dr. Jordan has committed so fully to his research that he struggles with the idea of starting a family. Despite his mother’s encouragement for him to find a suitable woman, Dr. Jordan pushes on with his work. 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. Iain Dowie was appointed in December 2003 and the club bounded up the table from the relegation zone to win promotion in May 2004, beating West Ham United at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in the play-off final, fulfilling Jordan’s promise of promotion within five years. And so the likelihood is I'll be involved with somebody's business.Whether that means I go in as the chairman of a business, whether it means I go in as a funder and buy someone's equity, but yes there's an ambition for me to do it,"Jordan said. His passion for Crystal Palace shines through, yet he certainly seemed to be saddled with a thankless task, fraught with obstacles, arguments, and disputes at every turn.

Jordan also used the column to highlight the inconsistencies in the F.A. disciplinary panel. The same panel decided no disciplinary action would be taken against Paul Jewell, manager of Wigan, who had been charged on the basis of making comments similar to Jordan’s. Jordan described the compliance process as being “based on mood”, noting: “There’s no frame of reference, no consistency – and, yes, it’s personal. It amounts to me not being able to say a referee is incompetent while others can, using the same language.” But in truth this gripped me all the way and wouldn’t allow me to ever let distractions interfere and accept missing a second of SJ’s accounts. Jordan stopped writing for The Observer in the 2006–07 season. He started writing again with his own column entitled “Simon Jordan’s Big opinion” in The Sun from August 2019 to November 2020. Television and radio Jordan has mastered the withering, comical put-down, and there are some hilarious passages and lines in here. The books flows at a nice pace, and the writing style reflects Jordan's brash, engaging style.He can be blunt, forthright, and uncompromising. While these are not qualities I normally find particularly endearing in a person, I really admire Jordan for his tenacity and bravery in lifting the lid on some of the ills of modern-day football. Agents are painted in a particularly treacherous light, but then again their reptilian practices are by now well known to the majority of us who follow the game. Jordan also vowed that the club would be promoted to the Premiership, within five years. In fact, they achieved this in four years. Despite owning the club, Jordan did not own the ground, which belonged to Ron Noades, who had been chairman until 1998. Aside from appearances in football-related programs, Jordan’s first major TV appearance was in early 2007, appearing in Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway for ITV along with fellow millionaires the Ann Summers managing director Jacqueline Gold (daughter of West Ham chairman David Gold; entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne; MOBO Awards founder Kanya King; and former Conservative Member of Parliament-turned-novelist Jeffrey Archer). In May 2019, Jordan appeared on BBC’s Question Time.

Ten years later, Palace was in administration and Jordan had lost nigh on everything. Be Careful What You Wish For lifts the lid on being the owner of a football club and how the game really works. Hopes and dreams sit alongside greed, self-interest, dodgy transfers, boardroom fights and dressing room dressing downs. Throughout no one is spared, least of all Jordan himself. In 2002, he again co-founded a business. Jordan became a 50% shareholder of a car magazine called 'Octane', however, after four sucessful years, the serial entrepreneur decided to sell his share. He is currently single. He is not dating anyone. We don't have much information about He's past relationship and any previous engaged. According to our Database, He has no children. FamilySimon Jordan was born on September 24, 1967 (age 55 years) in Thornton, United Kingdom. His father is Peter Jordan. Simon Jordan was an accomplished young footballer signing schoolboy forms with both Chelsea and Crystal Palace. 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.” All this happened whilst he was at Purley High School for Boys in Old Coulsdon. His father Peter Jordan used to play for Crystal Palace F.C., although never appeared for the first team. Crystal Palace now, 10 years on, sit 11th in the Premier League table...& are owned, managed & supported by locals....and you can't say that about any other club in the world, can you? Simon Jordan set the benchmark for aspiring football clubs to take on the giants in their flashy theatres of dreams...& ultimately failed.But he went down with a bang!! I'm spending a bit of time making sure that I understand the boxing world and that I align myself with the right people. I either buy somebody's business, I invest in somebody's business, or I start my own business.
