Jewell resigns

[readingbedding]

Cannot take Derby County forward.

He's been great for Derby, mind you I wanted him to stay longer.

[susieroyal]

He did say he knew how to get a team out of this division. I think at the time most people presumed he meant through promotion.

[readingbedding]

Better than Coppell was the claim.

[Vision]

Better than Coppell was the claim.

From Royalee.

[bishbosh92]

Despite being a decent manager, he wasnt going anywhere with the club so i think its the right choice for him to go.

[Tredder]

I wish he'd done this earlier, i backed Derby each way for promotion, alol at me.

[bishbosh92]

Who is favorite to replace him and get the Job?

[susieroyal]

I wouldnt be suprised to see Nigel Clough take either Derby or Forest job. Doing well at Burton.

[Mr Angry]

Aren't Burton top of the Conference by 7 points or so?

He has turned down approaches from both Derby and Forest before, and with both in better shape than they are in now; I suspect he would stay at Burton and get promotion with them before looking to move on.

[susieroyal]

Yeah Burton top by quite a bit.

That would be the sensible thing for him to do. I'd think he be daft to take either job, but wouldnt be suprised if he did. Be interesting to see how long Chris Hutchings stays in charge.

[Thomas L'Heureux]

I wish he'd done this earlier, i backed Derby each way for promotion, alol at me.

I too thought they were a good shout seeing as how Jewell kept bleating on about "building for next season" and pretty much promising to win promotion during their dire end to the last campaign.

[Tredder]

Curbishley.

From the BBC Website

Paul Jewell has resigned as manager of Championship outfit Derby County.

The decision follows Sunday's 1-0 home defeat by Ipswich, which was Jewell's 50th game in charge of the Rams.

Jewell, 44, joined Derby in November 2007 and has led them to a Carling Cup semi-final with Manchester United but the Rams are now 18th in the table.

A statement said Jewell "feels he is no longer in a position to take the club forward" and assistant boss Chris Hutchings will take temporary charge.

Derby failed to win a match in the Premier League last season after Jewell took over as manager and have won seven of their 26 Championship fixtures so far this season.

Hutchings will be at the helm for Saturday's FA Cup third round tie at Forest Green Rovers and that big clash with United in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi at Pride Park on 7 January.

Derby chairman of football Adam Pearson told BBC Radio Derby that the club had not put any pressure to quit on Jewell, who arrived at Pride Park after six months out of the game following his departure as boss of Wigan Athletic.

"It was probably one result too far for Paul," said Pearson. "He came to see me after the game and said that he felt it just wasn't working out and didn't want to club to suffer as a result.

"He just feels that the club needs a fresh impetus and a new direction.

"So we agreed a deal to go our separate ways, which is something entirely private between the club and Paul."

[Ian Royal]

Lets all LOL @ Royalee and Derby.

[rfcjoe]

LOL.

[Rex]

Also he was too honest a person all round with both the players and himself. No real surprise he chose to leave before being pushed really.

[Archie's penalty]

Good chance that Cloughie mark 2 will take over at Derby.

Would love to see it as would a lot of Derby fans I would imagine.

If he takes over cue lots of great Cloughie senior clips on the telly.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Sacked by the end of the year would probably be more likely
