"IT'S NONE OF HIS BUSINESS!" 😡 Simon Jordan BLASTS Gareth Southgate's comments on Ivan Toney's ban 🔥



Published May 26, 2023, 9:20 p.m. by Bethany


It’s none of his business!

That was the message from former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan to England manager Gareth Southgate after he criticised the decision to ban midfielder Ivan Toney for three matches.

Toney was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Burnley’s Charlie Taylor during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Turf Moor and will now miss the Three Lions’ World Cup qualifiers against San Marino, Albania and Poland.

Southgate was quick to jump to the defence of the 24-year-old, who has been in outstanding form for Newcastle this season, and suggested that the decision was harsh.

But Jordan was having none of it and insisted that Southgate should focus on the players that are available to him rather than criticising the decision.

Speaking on talksport, Jordan said: “It’s not Gareth Southgate’s business to be talking about this.

“He’s the England manager, not the Newcastle United manager or the Crystal Palace manager.

“He should be talking about the players he’s got available to him and how he’s going to get a result against Poland.

“That’s what his focus should be on, not bemoaning the fact that one of his players is going to miss three games because he made a bad challenge.

“I’m sorry, but it’s not Gareth Southgate’s business.”

Jordan also suggested that Southgate was wrong to suggest Toney had been harshly treated and that he only has himself to blame for the situation.

He added: “He [Toney] made a bad challenge, he’s been punished for it and that’s the end of the matter.

“Gareth Southgate is the England manager and he should be concentrating on the players he’s got available to him, not the ones that are not.”

uh back here Simon overnight I was

looking at some of the coach Gareth

Southgate has questioned the terms of

the eight-month ban given to Ivan Tony

for breaching betting rules by

suggesting that uh Tony uh has been

somewhat abandoned uh Avent Tony was

suspended by the fa until January next

year is fined 50 Grand after admitting

232 breaches of betting rules he's not

allowed to return to training until

September the 17th so Ivan goodbye and

we'll see you when we see you and Gareth

has questioned that I have spoken with

him I don't know if that's allowed by

the way but if it if it isn't then they

can ban me and not add to his look the

ban is the ban it is what he is I think

he recognized and accepted the

punishment

what bothers me is we've got to look

after people and

you know he's injured at the moment what

does he do about getting fit what does

he do how do we give him some structure

over the next few months that

he can develop himself or be a better

person at the end of it or have

experiences that you might not

experience so I don't like the idea that

we just leave somebody that they're not

allowed to be a part of the football

Community I don't think that's how we

should work I don't think that's how the

best Rehabilitation programs would work

but he knows that we picked him because

we felt until there was a charge he

should be allowed to play

and when he comes back if he plays well

then it will will pick him so

um it won't have any bearing but I think

he'll have additional motivation through

what he's experiencing and I think he's

a resilient guy

with great character and we're here to

support him what do you think of that

it's Gareth Wright I mean should the

central theme of bands be about

punishment or rehabilitation

both shouldn't it it should also be

about consequences and ensuring that

people uh like Ivan and those around him

don't emulate this and find himself in a

similar position because whilst you

don't want to make someone the

cautionary tale there is no example like

the example of someone else being

consequenced to concentrate other

people's minds isn't it interesting and

I mean the fa Blazer wearing our

Southgate suddenly decided to speak out

against the people that have employed

him I would have thought the fa that

would have put this fine down the very

people to employ them won't be too

impressed by I do like the part of the

end it's quite good though I do like the

past at the end well you know I'm not an

admirer of his I admire a certain aspect

of his work but I'm not in the camp that

he's going to win anything and that's

when the manager's job should be should

be

um I'm interested in the end part which

I think is good that he is clear that he

will pick him on form and that these

things are in the past when they become

the past so I like that part

um I'm not entirely sure you know where

girl's coming from he picked Ivan Tony

last year and didn't even play him

caught him up to a squad and didn't even

play him so why is that a while all of a

sudden be his spokesman Ivan has and I

don't want it for him either because I

think he's a super player I think he's a

super young man I know he's dead I think

he's a really really decent lad and I

think he's going to be a oh he is a top

footballer but he has breached the rules

and consequences can't just be in our

sort of liberal man be pamby society

that we mustn't have people we only

focus on the rehabilitation we also have

to cut part of Rehabilitation is people

accepting the consequence for their

behavior

and that consequence in this instance is

you cannot play competitive football you

can train again in September

you can get yourself physically fit and

keep yourself ticking over in the same

way that you'd have to do once you were

covering from injury the injury that

you've done is a slightly psychological

one now because you've taken it upon

yourself to breach football rules you've

compromised your Club you've compromised

the financials of your football club put

them in a difficult position so I don't

know quite why I don't know quite why

Gareth wants to die on this particular

Hill

it's not a bad question though isn't it

you when you think of it Southgate is

basically saying I quite like the fact

you know what I've spoken to him and I

don't care if anybody knows that when

Southgate says how did we give them how

do we give them Tony some structure over

the next few months that he can develop

himself or be a better person at the end

of it what's the point what's the

medicine attorney get out and don't

darken this door until we see you again

for training in September okay what are

you doing repeat it but nobody said he

was a bad person people said that

there's a rule that you've broken it's a

very significant role in football it

underpins and underscores the Integrity

of the game it brings the game into

distribute of your betting on football

matches that you're either participant

right yeah and you're bringing the game

into a very

seriously he's sitting at home thinking

that right now maybe listening to us and

you know what's wrong with what Gareth

is saying and he knows that hell why

does he know it

well you would think because it's

because you're doing it because nothing

because it's been consequenced yeah so

when we talk about Rehabilitation what

did we mean it's very easy to throw

these examples around what would you

have them do Gareth you're very you're

suggesting that the the the the the the

resolution isn't about consequence it's

about Rehabilitation they go hand in

hand right no one's extricating him from

society no one is suggesting that he

doesn't have a welcome Place back no

one's suggesting not even Gareth is that

there's going to be a consequence for

your actions post the serving of the

consequence that you have been deemed

last week people were arguing about the

fact why is it eight months when three

months if it's during the free season

now you've got the England manager

coming out with the player that he

picked last year that he didn't even

bleed and play so wasted everybody's

time calling it up to the squad so what

are we doing this for what's wrong with

that though I mean again I said there's

none of his business that's what's wrong

with it Gareth none of his business he's

England manager so what he's one of his

players it's none of his business it's

none of his business it's Ivan Tony has

been consequence because he's broken

football rules and

so why is Gareth needing to weigh in on

this and this is ridiculous who said so

basically no one can speak to us who's

saying no one can speak to him it's a

silly analysis I haven't spoken to him

if I don't know if I am of course you

can speak speak to him because you can't

you can speak to him no one said he's

got to be mute of course they'll be

ridiculous the point of this gareth's

point is he's been chucked out the the

football Community if you like himself

he's chucked himself he's chucked

himself yeah all right but I mean what

Gareth is seeing is look we we shouldn't

really have him sit in the corner with a

dancer's hat on he hasn't he hasn't

committed you know mass murder so why

don't we help him

how do we give him some structure over

the next few months I think what he's

suggesting there is

why do we throw some kind of recognized

respected Fitness expert Ivan who can he

can he can go I don't know somewhere

abroad Spain Italy somewhere and train

with this guy for a few why don't we why

don't we enable that okay so again or

even better why why does it why is it I

got a lot to treatment I don't

understand why he's being cut off

because because those are the rules that

have been set down by the football

establishment and that is there a

consequence for your behavior now let's

let's evaluate this and say okay Ivan is

not going to suffer a single iota of

financial damage as a result of that so

if he's still getting paid 70 80 000

pounds a week he can take himself off to

the to Portugal and he can take himself

off if they were the football trainer

and keep himself fit because in the

bigger scheme of things what Ivan's

actions have done have not just hurt him

and they won't hurt him he will lose

four months of football right he'll come

back some bigger football club will

probably poach him from Brentford and

the reward will be that that's what they

do he was asked this yesterday Simon

he's either going to say uh Ivan's an

exile at the moment and he deserves to

be well he's asked the question they

don't have to answer it you can simply

say if you want to and he doesn't I mean

listen I'm having I'm having a reaction

to his action I believe that there needs

to be in society people consequence for

their behavior I am coming from the

position I really like Ivan Tony I think

he's a brilliant footballer I wish this

not for him

but I also believe that if you want

something eradicated from the game

whether it's descent on the pitch

manager's behavior on the sidelines or

this sort of things you've got to mean

it I agree and no one's sending he's got

four months he's not going off to

Alcatraz and going in solitary for 10

years he's getting consequence for four

months of his playing career most of

them hate pre-season anyway they can't

wait not to be part of it so let's have

it right

should have kept quiet Ivan's a pfa's

responsibility until September when

Brentford of decisions to me well

they've not said a bleeding word because

they're completely likely useless

because they can't defend the

indefensible in a situation look I if

I'm not suggesting the ban is right or

wrong this time last week you were

making a case that this band is long

enough and ultimately three months of it

are doing the preseason

he's been Banger raised he's admitted to

you you're over 200. of course and those

are the rules and he is a participant

and they're all saying do we think it's

the same I mean do we I mean I suppose

the evaluation can be is it critical to

of the game that players don't bet and

that the sporting Integrity of the game

never comes into Jeopardy we never have

a situation like they've had in Italy

that's an important aspect of it if

that's important then the consequences

of doing it have to be equally as

important and equally as significant but

it should his rehab not feature in this

as well what did he say about q and

trippie

I didn't even pipe up back here in

trippier when Kirin trippier was banned

look yeah but the kiss is incomparable

this this is this is a whopping well

look at it Kieran trippier lost hang on

Karen trippier lost three months of a

season

uh Ivan Tony's losing four months of a

season what is your point Ivan Tony can

keep himself fit Ivan Tony can go over

to America or any part of the world on a

huge sallow that you're still getting

paid for doing nothing and keep himself

keeping it banned for 10 weeks uh 20 is

eight months I mean they're not exactly

but they are attorneys 232 betting they

are comparable because we're talking

about 16 17 weeks in Ivan Tony's case of

live football we're talking about 10

weeks in Kieran troupiers so there is a

comp an element of an ability to be able

to compare I'm not suggesting that this

is an ideal solution but if you want to

rehabilitate someone what is the

consequence then a smack on the wrist

it's not serious it's not serious

because it's only football it's not

serious because it's only betting and

it's only the sporting Integrity of the

bleeding sport that we're debating about

maybe it could be allowed to Trend yeah

you can go and train somewhere

not until September so there's no

consequence then so what you're saying

is and I take your point which is that

and I take gareth's Point as we delve

into it which is you can't play but you

can train right and of course keeping

you in the chain gives you a sporting

chance because there is an argument

about when players get consequences they

get slung out to the academy and then

comes the trappy PFA saying you can't

send him over to the academy that's

compromising his sporting ability he

needs to train with like for like so

there is an element of that yes but but

no one is trying I don't think unless

you do

that they're trying to single Ivan Tony

out and make Ivan Tony uh a cautionary

tale it is by definition but I think

they're slapping him with the

consequence to his behavior and it's not

a case of does he need to be how Ivan is

become a better person with all due

respect to Ivan and his dad either not

who I like very much yeah what are we

talking about here is he a bad person

initially so he by continues to train

with Brentford Gareth southgate's logic

is he's going to become a better person

he's going to have become a better

person probably by accepting the

consequences of his actions and coming

back stronger

yeah I would suggest and I don't

necessarily think undoubtedly I think

you're right I mean he's got simply got

to learn from this and I do like the the

bit at the end so just get balancing

before everyone thinks it's me bashing

guy of Southgate I do like it that he

talks about the facts that he comes back

into the fold based upon his form

because we all know undeniably and

unequivocally because Gareth Southgate

only picks players on film right yeah

that's how it works I think it's a bit

here because it's guy through seeing it

you're not having it the the this this

thing there should be more thoughts

and I'll have anything from Tony believe

he won't die let's have it right oh yes

yeah okay having said that if Gareth had

said yesterday no comment don't want to

talk about it to anything you'd have

been damaged I would have said I would

have said no I wouldn't I said it's not

your place to comment on it and you work

for the fa naughty naughty naughty you

know you're a Blazer boy keep in line

get a set of balls now are we I like

that Paul the Brentford fan Simon you

know you're in dodgy ground he does he

does Jim White and Simon Jordan Monday

to Thursday morning 10 till 1. on am on
