I've listened to Jordan a few times over the years, the last time was couple of mths ago when projectriver was on TS. Even when details of City's case were presented to him, most of which was clearly above his head, he couldn't help interjecting to try and make himself relevant with little jibes against us.
So I agree, he doesn't seem intelligent enough to have come to this conclusion himself.
I recall when the PL initially raised these charges against City, he was almost joyous. He has always had a clear agenda against us, calling us a Frankenstein club, with no acknowledgment of how in the past other clubs have also had large cash injections.
There was certainly no insight or even analysis from him at all into why the PL introduced FFP.
I realise that's how TS often operate, to create agendas and get people worked up and on opposing sides, to listen and to ring in, clearly Jordan is just an affable pawn in their strategy, often without the intellect to understand the subject or present a balanced view.
