it worries me that we may go for Paul Jewell.

 

So I'm getting my nods in first.

 

JEWELL OUT!!

I'll join you in that, in fact I'm coming over all mystic Meg[son]...

 

Paul Jewell quits as Wanderers boss - Keef Lard writing for MirrorFootball.co.uk

...continued unhappy spell at the Reebok Stadium after a late Dean Windass goal handed the Trotters a sixth defeat in nine games, sparking chants of "Jewell out" at the final whistle...

Paul Jewell quits as Bolton Boss.... As managerial appointments go, this must be one of the shortest in history. As Paul Jewell walked out in front of the home crowd for the first time boos rang out around the ground followed by "Are you Megson in disguise" sounding around The Reebok like a U2 concert on steroids. At this point Paul Jewell, famed for his blunt emotions, gestured clearly using two extended fingers of his right hand to the supporters, the players and the officials, picked up the ball and took it home.

 

Peter Reid is now 5/2 favourite on the board displayed outside Nandos.

i know it's a negative thing to contribute, but please.......Not Jewell

 

I don't believe that PG will go down this route again, it's all speculation and i'm quite confident that an ambitious and popular choice of manager is just around the corner.

 

Happy new year to Birisbane!!!

Paul Jewell did a fine job at Wigan.Only a fool would argue that taking Wigan from the third tier to 10th place in the Premier League was not doing a fine job.And there was a league cup final thrown in as well after beating Arsenal in the semi final.

So what are your reasons for worrying about the appointment of Paul Jewell?

er....Derby?

er....Derby?

It's no use asking me, I don't know.

 

A few sentences explaining why Paul Jewell is not a suitable candidate for the Bolton job after his fine work at Wigan is what I would really like.The fairly attractive side he created at Wigan with power and pace is as good as Bolton are likely to get without a new, wadded owners.

If Derby is the only answer, then perhaps it could be explained why that short unsuccessful spell was more important than the longer successful spell at Wigan.

I'm with you. Jewell would be fine, he'd win the doubters over as well so wouldn't worry about that.

Derby he had no hope with the players he inherited No idea how Billy Davies got them up in the first place.

The reason I feel Jewell is not the answer is mainly due to his last managerial post which, if you recall, was to rescue a Premiership team who were in relegation trouble. Sound familiar?

What did he do? Made them a worse team by buying the likes of Robbie Savage on long-term and inflated contracts and proceeded to take them on a nightmare slide towards the old Division 3. Until they got rid...is that what you want?

 

He did indeed do a terrific job at Wigan but, then again, so did Megson at WBA.

At the end of the day, there is little use in speculating. We can't influence the decision and we will need to get behind whoever ends up as Bolton manager. I am over the moon that Megson has gone but the players need the backing of the supporters and being negative will do no good.

I tend to agree to with Sumo that Jewell took over a sinking ship at Derby,how much stick did Sammy Lee get when Bolton only drew with Billy Davies' poor side that were bottom of the table?Keeping Derby up from that position would have been not much short of miraculous and Jewell is not a miracle worker but his CV is a class above Megson's.Bradford has not been mentioned where he also did a very good job at our expense one season..

Thank you for articulating your view however.

Jewell's Derby team didn't win a single PL game between his arrival in November 2007 and the end of that season!

Sign him up!

Jewell wouldnt be fine... he'd be shit.... which is why he wont be coming... i hope....

Jewell is to Wigan, as Sam Allardyce was to Bolton. And I strongly suspect Hughes was to Blackburn.

and jewells fine job at bradford sees them currently playing in division 4, still paying benito carbone, id wager

and jewells fine job at bradford sees them currently playing in division 4, still paying benito carbone, id wager

 

nothing to do with jewell that, he got them up, kept them up and did one to sheff wed

 

it was in their second season under hutching's guidance when they went overboard with the likes of carbone and collymore

The same Hutchings that Jewell brought to the club?

The same Hutchings that Jewell brought to the club?

 

he was his coach aye, not sure what difference that makes about signing carbine

 

hutchings was his coach at Wigan too, but not derby or Wednesday if I recall correctly

 

guess the lesson here is they work well best as a pair but under no circumstances let hutchings take over when jewell does one, as Wigan and Bradford discovered

I wasn't seeking a link between Hutchings' signing of Carbone and Paul Jewell.

 

I was checking it was the same guy, before coming to the same conclusion that he'd have been better staying as an assistant, like Sammy Lee.

manager spends what the board let him

 

 

bradford was a fucking shambles.

 

to be fair they signed carbonne and at the time no one really understood the implicationj of bosman, they assumed if they went down could sell on, he was on more than beckham at the time.

pie eating bastard as player/manager obnoxious scouse git, nuff said.
