By the age of thirty-two, he''d built a company from nothing, sold it for £75 million and bought his childhood club. By the age of forty-two Palace was in administration and Jordan had lost nigh on everything.Be Careful What You Wish For lifts the lid on the owner''s story and reveals for the first time how the national game really works.
