Looks like he's Director of Football, having been assistant to manager Richie Wellens at Oldham last season. How the mighty have fallen.

Is that a selfie you took and are ashamed of? You didn't have to post it.

It took four posts in before the inevitable and THAT picture.
The one saving grace; it wasn't Allardyce or Steve Evans that were caught in that 'situation'.

I don't think that's such a bad appointment actually, he was very successful at Wigan in his early days in management.
Only time will tell I guess.

He built a strong, effective team. His days of being at the cutting edge of football management are over.

Some managers and coaches seem to be able to adapt to the changing face of football, whilst others can't. Paul Jewell hasn't had a top job in football since leaving Ipswich six years ago. Maybe the break has done him good, and that he can make a go of things in League Two.

Same as Mark Hughes, also no longer at the cutting edge of football management.

Some can and some can't. There's a reason why Iain Dowie is a pundit now, and not a manager.
Forgive my ignorance, but wasn't Dowie always shit?

Yes, there is less pressure and he gets to see more of the wife!
Who knows if he could successfully manage again, the big problem though is that he has been out of the game for too long now, new managers with differing ideas have come along, and people have short memories too. Hence Iain Dowie, and too many others to mention, have become looked upon as footballing dinoaurs.

I don't know if he was ever touted as a manager for us, but Liam Brady was interested in signing him (he played in Dean Wilkins testimonial game while on trial with us).

I think you are right, although in 2011 when the Amex opened, Paul Jewell's career was on the wane.

So he did, l'd forgotten about that.
Paul Jewell applies for every job that comes up, including Barcelona, Real Madrid Juventus Bayern Munich - I am surprised he didn't get the Real Madrid job the other month when it became available
