Scottish Mag 3 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Former Wigan boss Paul Jewell is set to be named as the new manager of Derby County, BBC Sport understands. The Premier League's bottom club have called a 0930 GMT news conference at which Jewell's appointment looks certain to be confirmed. MK Dons boss Paul Ince had also been linked with the Derby vacancy after Billy Davies left the club on Monday. The Rams have collected just six points from their opening 14 matches to lie four points adrift of safety. Jewell quit Wigan after securing their Premier League safety on the final day of last season. Since leaving the Latics he has turned down an approach from the Republic of Ireland and also rejected the chance to return to the Latics after Chris Hutchings was sacked. He was also linked with Bolton and Birmingham. Derby face a hard task of presering their Premier League status after winning promotion under Davies last season. They have just one win so far this season, which came against Newcastle, and have conceded 33 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
