Billy Davies sacked!!

[beerbantam]

It leaves the door open for Jewell or Todd!!:eek:

[Tarty]

Jewell has turned down the chance to manage Ireland, even though talks were in the final stages. I can't see him going to Derby and I very much doubt that Todd will be very high up on the list to go back to Derby......in fact I don't think the fans would want him

[beerbantam]

I was joking about Todd!

Jewell said on all 53 of his tv appearances yesterday that he would welcome 'a new challenge' but turned down Ireland because he likes the day-to-day hands on stuff!!

I reckon he could be tempted to Derby!!

[Jantje]

I can definitely see Jagger going to Derby.

Feel a bit sorry for Davies though, only last week Pearson was saying on Sky Sports what a good job he'd done getting Derby up probably a year earlier than expected and that he was 'his sort of manager' !!! Obviously the negotiations with Disney rubbed off on him!!!! Harsh sacking in my view, he's hardly spent anything by prem standards on strengthening the side

[London Bantam]

Paul Ince

[Yeadon Bantam]

Perhaps it was a difference of views, he said on MOTD investment in players was needed, perhaps it was he who walked??

[beerbantam]

With Jewell though, it looks likely that both Newcastle & Liverpool could be parting company with their managers any time soon - would he be in with a shout for either of those jobs??

Liverpool yes, but doubt Newcastle will sack big fat sam? Hasn't had much time IMO

He got the 'vote of confidence' this morning from the Geordie board!!

Ah i see, they expect big success up in geordieland they need to realise they aint one of the top 4!!:sorry:

[gravitywayne]

I cant understand why Derby would sack davies, no one can keep them up they dont have enough quality in depth. They should have rebuilt for next season and if he got Derby up again the season after thats when questions should be ask, Wigan have done the right thing in having Bruce because he can take wigan straight back up as a recognised Premier leauge side, where as Derby havn't been in years?.... Just thought Davies would have stayed!

[Parrot]

They should have took a leaf out of Watford's book and maybe next season they will be reaping the benefit like Adie Boothroyds employers ;)

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

Can't see Liverpool making any managerial change at this time.
Jewell to Derby very possible but he'd want money to spend - would they have enough?

I'm sure Mickey Mouse will have a few dollars to spare.

Paul Ince

:cool:

[Northern]

Looks like Jewell has pipped Ince to the post. Due to be confirmed Derby manager this morning. Well, he wanted a challenge and he's certainly got one now! tup:

[Jantje]

Says hes taking Chris Hutchings and Stan Ternant with him in the press. If he can manage to save them this year his managerial stock will really rise.
They look a hopeless cause despite only being a couple of points adrift

[beerbantam]

Paul Jewell has been offered the chance to take over of Premier League strugglers Derby. Chris Hucthings, who worked with Jewell at Wigan and Bradford, is expected to be Jewell's number two and there may also be a role in the coaching team for ex-Burnley boss Stan Ternant.

[tony d]

I think it will be better for Ince in the long run to take MK Dons up then move up to a Championship contender side...Wolves will be a goer by then if MM doesn't get em going...

Ince is defo one for the future...

Never keen on him as a person but i admire him for having the balls to start at Macc and work his way up the ladder.

Some ex-internationals seem to think they have a divine right to walk into a top job on reputation alone.

[tony d]

Never keen on him as a person

Why did you used to work with him or go to school with him???

Everyday is a school day on here and i learn something new all the time...

Or do you mean you didnt like his aggressive full on 100% commitment on the pitch which saw him upset most of the prima donnas from his era???

Take it you do not like Roy Keane either...Both from very simmilar moulds..

I hated Keane for his arrogance and big headedness on the pitch but i could never deny he was a massive player on the world stage..Not many better big game players than Keane.. So i do get your point i think...:rolleyes:

Let me try and elaborate Tone:rolleyes:

I never had a problem with his commitment etc on the pitch but his public persona as 'the guvnor' etc was a bit grating.

Recently though having seen him interviewed, he seems more humble and press friendly and in fact comes across well. Maybe he's learned with experience
