I’ve got an agreement at home which says it was by mutual consent and I can live with myself. “He specifically told me when I asked him before the Palace press conference that he wasn’t going to go to Charlton because of his relationship with Palace and the credibility he would lose.”There is a law in this country called misrepresentation and Iain has breached it,” Jordan added.Dowie responded that it was his desire for a “new challenge” that had led him away from SE25 and that he had never used his family as the main reason for leaving. Therefore Jordan, in a show of empathy, claims he waived his right to £1m in compensation.”My football club waived compensation because the man said he wanted to go back to the North,” Jordan said. He claims that Dowie told him he wanted to return to the North to be with his family. for fraudulent misrepresentation in the terms of leaving Crystal Palace.” The man was ejected before he could formally serve Dowie the papers, fulfilling his obligation later.
Jordan is furious. Just as Dowie and the Charlton chairman Richard Murray were getting comfortable, a court official stormed into the press room and began waving the writ, shouting: “Mr Dowie, I have a writ to serve on you on behalf of Crystal Palace Football Club…

Iain Dowie became the manager of Charlton Athletic yesterday and was immediately issued with a writ by his former employer Simon Jordan, the Crystal Palace chairman, alleging that Dowie had lied about his reasons for leaving Selhurst Park. Johnson was given leave of absence from England’s World Cup squad yesterday to have his medical with the Merseyside club, having agreed terms 24 hours earlier.The deal has been completed with the agreement of the England management, who allowed Johnson to travel to Liverpool for the medical and then were happy for Everton’s officials to drive to the Lowry Hotel in Manchester to complete the deal.Johnson’s contract will make him the club’s highest-paid player on around £40,000 a week, more than doubling his Crystal Palace wages.. Even their success in qualifying for the Champions’ League last year failed to change that general assumption.But with Moyes intent on challenging for the top four, Everton knew they needed to spend more than the £9m summer budget they had planned for.In previous seasons they had tried to sign Michael Owen, Mikael Forssell, Dirk Kuyt, Milan Baros and Craig Bellamy and failed on each occasion.But this time they have not pulled out of the bidding, the Everton source adding: “We have found the money from somewhere.”Everton confirmed that Johnson had successfully completed his medical at lunchtime, with chief executive Keith Wyness and club secretary Dave Harrison travelling to the England squad’s hotel in Manchester for the striker to sign a four-year contract.Johnson and Beattie – close friends off the pitch – will now form Everton’s new strikeforce for next season. The press all over the world has been talking about me and I don’t like that at all. I am really ashamed about all this.”Neither Navia or me were drunk and I have already explained that we were with three girls only giving them our autographs.

The press should say things how they were.”Meanwhile, Anthony Le Tallec wants Paris St-Germain to end his Liverpool nightmare after admitting he is “fed up” of being shipped out on loan. The 21-year-old French forward has failed to make an impact at Anfield, starting just 13 games for the club since joining from Le Havre four seasons ago.He has found himself on loan at St Etienne and Sunderland for the majority of the past two seasons and has become frustrated.”I want to be transferred, change air,” he said. “When you’re loaned without a view for a permanent move you know that you won’t be there anymore the following year. I want to commit myself to a club which is ready to trust me for two or three years PSG has always been the club of my heart If they make a good offer I will go.”. The transfer of Salomon Kalou to Chelsea, which was completed yesterday, looked to have concluded one of the modern game’s more shameless morality tales, but there may be a further chapter. This could result in Kalou being loaned out rather than replacing, or partnering, his Ivory Coast compatriot Didier Drogba.
