It strikes me that Ipswich Town have dropped a major blunder by appointing Paul Jewell as their new manager.
Jewell is a renowned firefighter but can he take the club forward - is he not a Roy Keane without the stardust?
Surely the board should have seen that the very man to take them on a step or two has just become available - in fact, he is headline news - yes, Mr Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson and Ipswich were made for each other. He always does his best work at family style clubs (think Fulham) and could have 'done a Bobby Robson' at Portman Road.
It is a big chance missed for Town. Shame.
