If SD does go, only one man for the job.

If SD does go only one man for the job, Paul Jewell ticks all the right box's.
He did a fantastic job at Wigan and Bradford on budgets similar to ours and he's available. Ok he didn't do as well at Wednesday or Derby but is there anyone out there with better credentials and experience.

Personally I think he'll be given a chance to keep his job for a couple of months.

 

Wigan? Budget similar to ours?

I think not...

 

Wigan had a similar budget to us?

Really?
Thought Whelan was loaded and pumped millions in to the club

 

RE: Wigan had a similar budget to us?

Name any of there big money signings while they were in the championship. Whelan pumped millions into the club when they got into the premier league and even then the were astute singings.

 

They spent big money on wages etc

whilst in the current League One, mainly on players from the Championship or even Premiership to enable them to go up the leagues.

 

Here you go - for starters

Geoff Horsfield £1m
Jason Roberts approx £2m
Per Frandsen free but £15k per week
Emerson Thome can't remember

And that's off the top of my head

 

Wigan signed players off the top of your head?

You got any other gems on there?

Steven Taylor's available from Notts County for £1.76m.

 

RE: Here you go - for starters

WOW that's massive money, I take it all back. Paul Jewell's a Wa**er as he bought his way out of the championship.

 

RE: Wigan had a similar budget to us?

Wigan had the highest wage bill per supporter outside of the Premiership. A proper "Pimp my side" club.

 

I agree with you, thinkhe'd be a good man for the job, he spent just over £2million in 2 seasons in the championship and got promoted to the prem, don't think it owuld be a bad thing to bring in somene with some experience.

 

Has anybody mentioned Derby

What an absolute mess he made of this club early season. With him they would be relegated. I know they were near but they survived because he left.
