Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has branded Gary Neville a "hypocrite" over his views on the Super League and independent regulation in English football.

Ex-Manchester United captain and Salford City director Neville has called for independent regulation to be introduced, which would include a transfer tax for Premier League clubs.

"I have to say, in equal measure, Gary Neville enthuses me and annoys me," Jordan told talkSPORT when asked about which Sky Sports pundit annoyed him the most.

"He enthuses me when he talks about the game, when he talks about the live action because he's seeing it with such an insightful set of eyes and I get to watch someone speak from real experience and give me an insight to the game that's going on.

"Then I find myself in an enraged state when I have to listen to the self-serving drivel that he comes out with when he's talking about stuff he really doesn't understand.

"He's got a massive soapbox and I understand he's been put on it and I understand he's Sky's poster-boy.

"But there is a point when you get to the scenario and you say, 'hang on a second, someone has sent you a memo somewhere along the line that your opinion is unassailable', where it isn't because a lot of what Gary says doesn't stand up.

"It doesn't stand up on independent regulation, it didn't stand up on the European Super League, it doesn't stand up about a lot of aspects and, while I think it's interesting, I do think it would be interesting if someone like Gary Neville had the b***s to come and sit on a show with someone like me, or me and Danny Kelly or me and Jim White and have someone that really questions the observations he makes.

"Because when you're talking about independent regulation, and the club you own probably doesn't comply with the regulation it's currently under when you've got vested interest in it because you want to be part of it, but yet you're spouting the world on your views on it, I find it a little bit hypocritical.

"I also don't think that what he says has any real substance behind it so I find that irritating."
