In fairness to PJ, he had Bognor Regis Town desperate for Tampon Shitwipes signature...... He didn't know what to do. They were offering 50 quid FFS. That's a few pints and maybe a solo dance.

Jewell might be back in football - unlikely, however, that football will be back in Jewell any time soon.

Don't know how much involvement there will be, possibly give the manager pointers and be on hand for advice but at least he's in an employment capacity. Assistant manager in "football" seems rather obscure, there won't be nowhere near the same interaction level with the players, but bottom line even when he was in a forward facing role, his 'leadership' qualities were often dubious and mixed. In retrospect I don't know why we hired him, possibly some fine work at Wigan Athletic or was provided a recommendation, but remember that era all to well. Got the club to a cup semi-final which is commendable, but the league form was invariably sub-standard.

He didn't get us to the semi final, Roy Keane did. He took over just before the arsenal away game, home game was managed by mcparland so I wont be giving him any credit for that one!

I actually don't wish him any harm, yes he was a disaster but there was no nastiness or malice in the guy unlike f**king keane the knob.

Being a Scouser he had some great one-liners. Describing Jay E-Thomas’s ability as: ‘‘on the one hand he’s a world beater, on the other he’s a panel beater”, is classic. Certainly beat Mr Keane in the sense of humour stakes - but never much of a challenge!

I agree to be honest, I just thought he was a crap manager for us. Keane on the other hand always felt we were beneath him, he was the biggest knob ive known within football. Great player but an arsehole, anyone that could fall out with Walters the way he did cannot be a manager, Walters has always been shown to be a great professional and role model.
He made some really weird signings as well considering at that time we were splashing some cash, people like Stern John and Rory Fallon, what on earth were we doing! I do think if we had MM at that time with the money we were spending (and the rest of the Championship were not spending the money they are now) he would have got us promoted

Would imagine ME’s biggest regret is that he wasn’t born with 20/20 hindsight - received some very poor advice, for which MM has picked up the subsequent tab. 10 years under ME’s ownership.

Yes, I too think exactly the same.
