Paul Jewell @ Sheffield Wednesday...Hmmm....
From Wikipedia...
Sheffield Wednesday
Jewell had been hoping to mount a promotion challenge in 2000-01 with Wednesday but after enduring a torrid eight months in charge was sacked in February 2001 with the debt-ridden Hillsborough club struggling near the foot of Division One. He struggled with big-earning players not producing on the pitch with one international (Wim Jonk) guaranteed £5,000 per match whether he played or not and another (Gilles De Bilde) refusing to go out on loan because he would have no-one to look after his dogs. Jewell should have seen the writing on the wall when goalkeeper Kevin Pressman was sent off after 13 seconds of his first match in charge at Wolverhampton Wanderers. His undoubted highlight was the 2-1 League Cup victory over local rivals Sheffield United and victory over Premier League West Ham United.
*Struggled with a "debt ridden" club?
*Club at the wrong end of table?
*Big name players "not producing on the pitch"?
Oh deary!
