Not only did Jordan put the financial gulf in stark terms, he pointed out a difference in attitude big English clubs have compared to domestic cup games.
Simon Jordan inists Hibs being humbled by Aston Villa wasn't a "bad advert" for Scottish football, simply an example of the vast financial gulf between top flight clubs on either side of the border being played out on the park.
He told TalkSport: "The stark reality is, and it's an inherent unfairness, if you're looking at Hibernian they have a wage bill of £3.8million. If you look at Aston Villa, they;ve got a wage bill of £120m. "You say: 'Hang on, you get cup shocks, you get League One or League Two clubs giving the Premiership clubs a bloody nose.' Yeah, but they don't take it particularly seriously and they put out depleted squads.
"it's not a bad advertisement for Scottish football. It's just inherent reality of the difference in economics between the Premier League and the Scottish Premiership.
