Gordon Taylor PFA exit: Simon Jordan does not see the need for a players’ union in modern football
Simon Jordan does not see the need for the Professional Footballers’ Association in modern football.It was confirmed on Wednesday that chief executive of the PFA, Gordon Taylor, will be leaving the role after 38 years.The 74-year-old announced last November there would be an independent review into the organisation following criticism over Taylor’s running of the union, where its funding goes andhis reported 2.2million salary.The entire management committee and current chairman, Ben Purkiss, will also step down at the completion of the review.3

Gordon Taylor is set to leave the PFA

Former chairman, Clarke Carlisle, told talkSPORT the current PFA is not fit for purpose and it must reflect the needs of modern footballers, while ex-Crystal Palace owner Jordan was similarly critical of the union and does not see the need for it.Ive been a big critic of the PFA over the years,” Jordan told talkSPORT. “Ive been someone whos had lots of issues with Gordans attitude and outlook and also dealing with him commercially.We had an issue with Gordon this time last year over his defence of Riyad Mahraz and we had an interesting debate with him about his view on certain things.There is this sea change within the PFA where there is this need to revolutionise, modernise and evolve.3

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan

Ive always had an issue with the PFA because I did not understand why they were there in the first place.I understood that there is a union in place, it is the worlds smallest union. Ive never understood why it got funded the way it does.The league giving them 27million a year because once upon a time Gordon was able to leverage money out of the TV companies via the Premier League with the threat of strike.I look at the PFA and say: What exactly does it do?3

Taylor is the highest-paid trade union chief in the world

I talk to a lot of footballers and ex-players that have a very dim view and I look at Gordon Taylors role and I look at the fact he has used it as a personal fiefdom. He does get paid a salary of 1.5million plus bonuses and he does draw extraordinary expenses.Then the flip side of it, if you are going to have somebody on your side you want to have Gordon Taylor because if anyone is going to negotiate a deal it is Gordon Taylor, if anyone has robustness its Gordon Taylor.

I have watched this unfold with a degree of mixed emotions because I dont like a lot of the things Gordon does, I dont like a lot of things the PFA does.The Premier League is the only reason the PFA get any money, because the Premier League was able to negotiate a deal.The people who dont really need the PFA are Premier League players. It is really the League One and League Two players who get a benefit. I still think at League One and League Two level it is way beyond the salary that people get in the everyday world that we live in or most people live in.I do feel there is a lot of changes that are needed for the PFA and I do still maintain that I dont know why they are here in an industry that I dont think really require them.
