But Mick solved that
Mick then built up a solid foundation, worked with it over years and left the club in probably it's best position since Big Joe's days. ( Poss Jims)

Jewell is a minor footnote of the Banter Era, although he is responsible for some of the funnier bits such as 7-1 at Posh and signing more loans than we could play and letting Delaney leave because he told him he was going to live in New York before rocking up at Palace 4 weeks later.

You mean Keane. Jewell was not good but we owe him some gratitude. He not only realised he couldn't keep us up and resigned but he also recommended the man who saved us.

Keane squandered Evans's initial investment and that made him wary of giving managers a decent playing budget. He also turned the squad inside out after initially observing - correctly - that Town were only 2 or 3 players away from being a decent side.
Without doubt the worst Town manager in my 46 years of supporting Town.

Jewell was worse.

Far more experienced, far worse football, far more clueless, far better at watching videos and giving it the puppy dog eyes when you compare their lowest ebbs.

Disagree. Keane inherited a squad that had just missed the play-offs, spent a huge amount of money in Championship terms for that time & turned the squad into relegation candidates.
Jewell inherited a relegation threatened team, took it to safety & then mid table obscurity before crashing & burning in spectacular style. But hard to say that worse a worse effort than Keane's.

It's like saying Pim Balkenstein was or Freddie Veseli were worse than Mark Fish.

Jewell made us a gutless mob, ran by blokes we didn't own who took the piss out of the club and us. Never have I seen an Ipswich side so nonplussed by wearing the shirt and getting dicked regularly.

Horsesh1t frankly Mullers. Jewell was *just* incompetent. Keane gutted the competent-but-unspectacular team that Magilton had put together, spunked millions on the players the Mick would have been embarrassed to sign for free, sold off or let go a number of hugely promising youth team players, sidelined Klug to the point he left and completely destroyed team morale.

But he DID give very good pressers.

Nope. As with Mick, confusing the man and the manager is a common flaw.

Regardless of fees and if we believe him over Priskin and what is supposed to have been said and done by Clegg. In terms of management, Jewell was far older, far more experienced and did a far worse job.

Keane might have dismantled a team, he might have put an inferior one in its place, but he never left us with 13 senior pros including kids, and Bilel Moshni as the great sh1te hope. He never put in a managerial performance like the 4-0 defeat at Turf Moor.

Also the Klug situation was down to him being superfluous when Keane got here after stepping up to be Jim's assistant. That's the sort of misguided criticism which only demonstrates the point further.

If you look dispassionately at both, Jewell was worse. He might just have been a bit more likeable so people overlook it.

Give over. Given the points they started at, Keane did demonstrably the worse job. The time Jewell hit his second season Evans was pulling the plug on financial support for the team and was starting for a far, far lower point.

Keane was destructive and toxic at all levels of the club and I am genuinely astonished by the blind spot you STILL have over him.

So? That's got nothing to do with competency, especially when you actually look at both. It's like arguing Duncan was in the same bracket.

Jewell literally couldn't put together anything resembling a team most weeks by the end, and rarely even an inept one at best.

He couldn't decide where to buy and where to sell, balance a squad or instil any kind of leadership and discipline. He provided a shop window for pros to earn decent money and fcuk off as soon as they could at best, whilst freezing out the youths and being thoroughly un-Ipswich in everyway.

Keane couldn't even do half of that, such was his inability to be as sh1te.

The boring football from Keane comes mostly from the last 3 months of his tenure when he started playing with 4 centre backs and four central midfielders. It was dire.

But we played some decent stuff in his first season and the first few months of his second when he had us in the top six.

...and the first season, when it took him months to work out what we could all see, which was that Damian Delaney was in now, shape or form suited to playing left back, for example.

Keane's teams of 4 CBs were equally as bad. Sometimes IIRC 4 CMs as well.

As I said earlier, Jewell redeemed himself with his honesty that he couldn't turn it around and by recommending the man who saved us. Keane would have taken us down with his arrogance and walked away without a care if he was in that situation.

This is a bloke I slate for for walking out on his country, so that doesn't work. Although as a player he was of course one of the greatest of his generation.

The overarching factor is of course Evans' ineptitude. But as a manager to say he ever just curled up died whilst pleading for everyone to pity him because he'd sh1t himself and let us smell it whilst the world beat him down, like Jewell did is nonsense.

From the vantage point of the dug out Jewell is buried somewhere under the turf and Keane is rolling amongst Lucozade bottles trying to pick a fight with some bibs.

People also forget what a job Mick did with those same players Jewell left, notching up promotion form almost right off the bat. It colours just how badly he was doing to be there in the first place.

I think he switched DD to the centre after about 8 or 9 games of the season fwir

Totally. It's telling that Jewell tried to resign whilst Keane had to be sacked. Utterly without a club how badly he was performing.
