If Wigan didn’t make him mentally inept, Leeds will

FORMER Wigan Athletic boss Paul Jewell is expected to be back in management by Christmas and Leeds United could be ready to target him. Reports in Yorkshire claim a wealthy business consortium considering rivalling Ken Bates for control of the Elland Road club, want Jewell as manager should they land the chance to take charge. It's understood they see Jewell as the ideal man to come in and revive Leeds' fortunes. It's a challenge Jewell may fancy - he is based in neighbouring Ilkley and has vowed to be back once he is refreshed after taking a break. (casualty)
