Could Jewell rejecting the Pie Eaters signal the end for them as a premiership club?

Me think so.....Not seen many worse sides thus far?

Derby

Derby

A footballing certainty that they'll be down. Worst side in the prem by a country mile.

Is that a DJS fact ?

[Nic83]

Derby will go.

Any 2 from about 7 could accompany them:

Wigan
Fulham
Boro
Bolton
Sunderland
Reading
B'ham

It might just be me but Paul Jewell isn't exactly all that is he?

He got Bradford up and they stayed up for that first season but didn't hang around after that. He got Wigan up and stayed up but were very lucky to stay up last season.

I'm not knocking his achievements but his work hasn't been sustained over any length of time.

I think there are plenty of managers out there who could take the Wigan job. As for staying up, there aren't that many good sides in the Premiership so the likes of Fulham, Boro, Reading, Bolton, Sunderland and Bolton could join Derby in the Championship next season.

They dont deserved to be in the Prem along with Boro,Bolton and Balckburn they have the support at matches that equals a pub team on a sunday morning down in the local pitch

that has **** all to do with deserving to be in the top flight.

I'd like nothing better than the likes of luton, QPR & Oxford to make it back. So they don't have an historically large fan base, so what.

If peoples idea of the PL is 20 clubs all having 30,000 + brand new all seater stadiums serving up dire try not to lose at all costs football, then it saddens me immensley.

Asside from Derby, I think it'll be quite open this year for who takes the other 2 relegation spots, might be interesting

[Gazzla]

I hope it's Middlesborough

[Joe King]

**** you Mourinho, we used to have Paul Jewellio

Not a fan of any of those teams but it's easy to knock the fans, especially Bolton and Blackburn. Look at the geography of the north-west; lots of clubs in that area.

[kopash]

apparently Steve Bruce to be their new manager!

Bruce? That doesn't make much sense.

Why would he swap one struggling Premiership club for another, especially when Birmingham have much more potential as a club in the long term?

Some of todays rags are linking Ince to the job.

[Rich]

Bruce will be out of Birmingham whatever happens by the end of the season at the latest...
