Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan could be ready to sell the club to his old adversary David Gold.

The pair fell out after manager Steve Bruce quit the Eagles to take over at Birmingham in 2001 but with Gold looking to invest in a London club after selling his stake at St Andrew's, Jordan is ready to bury the hatchet.

"All that stuff was tongue in cheek and is in the past now," Jordan told The Sun.

"The fact is David Gold is a very successful businessman. He has done very well at Birmingham and made a lot of money, so fair play to him.

"At the moment it's hypothetical. There's been no enquiry and no offer, despite the stories in the media, which have all come from his camp.

"My job is to ensure Crystal Palace continue to have a football club, which is very costly and difficult when we're getting 12,000 through the gate."
