Strange news from the Premiership
You buy a bankrupt soccer club, bring in some players, and finally restore belief in a once moribund organization. Promotion to the Premier League is achieved with a late season surge. Your response? "I don't enjoy football anymore," stated Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan. The club is for sale. Waiting in the wings to take control: Libya's Colonel Gadafy, according to this story in the Guardian. Very strange.
