À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read this explosive insight into the previously unseen world of football club ownership by one of the game's most-recognisable figures.


Multimillionaire at 32

Youngest Premier League football club owner at 36

His club and a fortune lost at 42

Owning your childhood club - that's the dream, isn't it?

Simon Jordan made his fortune building a mobile phone company from scratch. When he sold it for £75 million, he bought Crystal Palace FC, the club he'd supported as a boy, and led them into the Premier League.

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.

**A finalist for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year**
**Shortlisted for the British Sports Book Award for best autobiography*

If you are a football fan and have not read this book, you are missing out (John Inverdale)
We all love the idea of owning our boyhood club but [Jordan's] memoir strips away the romance in a frequently hilarious, often alarming account
No punches pulled
A frank and brutal insight into why football and business don't mix (Theo Paphitis)
I couldn't help laughing... He can't half tell a story
Brash, flash and full of bottle-blond ambition (Simon Redfern)
One hell of a read
Bad luck and bad decisions make for a page-turning read
Ripe with detail and wincingly beliveable
An important document to have arrived in the world of football (Danny Kelly)
