Edwards Sad to See Jewell Leave - Ipswich Town News
Skipper Carlos Edwards was sad to see Paul Jewell move on but says he and the rest of the squad are right behind caretaker-boss Chris Hutchings ahead of Saturday’s game at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
Edwards told the club site: "It’s sad to see Paul leave because he’s a nice guy but unfortunately things haven’t quite worked out for us.
"But life goes on and the guys are just going to roll their sleeves up for Hutch now in preparation for the game against Sheffield Wednesday.
"We will give him all the support he needs and everybody is rallying together at this sad time. We are going out there to play for him and hopefully we can get a good result.”
Meanwhile, Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson says he doesn’t fancy being Paul Jewell’s successor: "I have no interest in the Ipswich job.
"It’s a great club obviously, but I am very happy where I am as everyone is committed to a project that I believe in completely. I was coming to work with a smile on my face even when we were losing every game.
"Paul Jewell is a good man and a good manager, but sometimes you go to a club and it just doesn’t work out for you. Something similar happened with me at Preston.”
