SIMON JORDAN and Forest Green owner Dale Vince traded blows in a heated row on talkSPORT.
Vince appeared on the White and Jordan radio show to launch scandalous allegations against Peterborough chief Darragh MacAnthony.
He claimed that MacAnthony approached then-Forest Green manager , who was hired by Posh earlier this month, before asking for the club’s permission.
MacAnthony denies those allegations and has previously written on X that the club’s hiring process was “100 per cent correct and proper, following all the rules”.
Governing bodies can punish tapping up, as the practice described by Vince is known, by handing out fines, transfer bans or other penalties.
But when former owner Jordan pressed Vince on what should happen to Peterborough if the allegation was proven, he said: “I have no idea.”
The spat erupted when Jordan responded with a sly dig.
He said: “I think that’s probably consistent with a lot of things in your life.
“But the point is, if you’re going to make an allegation against someone, you want someone to be consequenced, surely you must have a view of the sanction.”
On went the war of words, with Vince asking: “What’s your problem?”
Jordan replied: “I don’t have a problem, Dale. If you want to be facetious, I can be equally facetious back.”
And Vince let rip by hitting back: “Truthfully Simon, I didn’t come here to talk to you. I came here to talk to Jim. You’re an unfortunate consequence.”
TalkSPORT posted a clip of the interview in which the pair were hurling insults at one another.
At one point, Jordan told Vince, who is a climate campaigner and activist as well as a green entrepreneur, to “go back to hugging trees and funding people in and whatever else it is you do”.
Vince then referred to Jordan as “a gob with a mic trying to make a name for himself”.
Savage has won his first two games in charge of third-tier Peterborough boss, including a 3-1 triumph at on Saturday. Forest Green currently sit 16th in the National League.
