I'd say there has to be a massive bonus for him - a few million would be my guess - if he keeps them up. Why else would he turn down a massive salary from Wigan to go to the shambles of a side that is Derby??Originally Posted by btid1
It's a no lose situation. Everyone has Derby relegated and if he keeps them up, he is the miracle man, but if they go down, no one is surprised. The challenge is then to get them back up. If he doesn't and they struggle, he gets the sack with another nice pay off. As I say (sounding like Dave O'Leary), he can't lose financially.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Jewell needs 60 million to keep Derby up! Why won't somebody give O'Leary a job? That way we'll never have to approach him.

He's mates with Adam Pearson, the chairman. He was trying to buy Leeds during the summer and had Jewell lined uop to manage there had he been sucessful, it was always on that he'd go to Derby.
Way more money I'd imagine. Owls Fan's assessment is spot on.

It may have as much to do with wanting a new challenge as anything else.

Didn't make sense at the time .. sort of does now .. I think he must have got wind of US owners and a big budget for buying new players.

Said at the time, he's mates with Adam Pearson and would have been well awar eof what might be happening Derby, Pearson's an astute businessman, he had this plan in place for Leeds only Ken Bates and KPMG had that administration sown up so he's just implemented it at Derby instead....
Beaten at home 1-4 by Preston North End (and unable to beat lowly Sheffield Wednesday in two attempts in 90 minutes). This is the man Mutt and Jeff on RTE were advocating should take the Irish job.

Hodgson has struggled since moving to Fulham and most of us wanted him in charge. I reckon if Jewell is given time at Derby they'll bounce back next year.Beaten at home 1-4 by Preston North End (and unable to beat lowly Sheffield Wednesday in two attempts in 90 minutes).

If ye think that appointing Trappatoni was a mistake following his side's 7-0 hammering at the weekend, the imagine if we had appointed Paul Jewell??
Pictures of him in the NOTW on Sunday from a video tape he made a woman other than his wife. How embarassing would that be for the FAI??
I don't care about Jewell any more now that we have a new manager, but I personally couldn't care less what our manager does in his spare time (so long as it's not illegal).
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
Plus all this NOTW sh*te was from SIX YEARS AGO!!......who cares
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
his wife?!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
