Crewe Boss Yet to Hear From Jewell
at 22:02:43

Crewe fan here in peace guys.
Having read through all the comments, there are a few of you slating our manager and a few considered comments.
As one of your guys said he only said what any manager in his position would.
He has said he has heard nothing from Ipswich with regards to a bid - on our website he also said that he is in daily contact with the Chairman, something missing from your story.
Did not see the ' don't think that Ipswich would have enough money', so not sure if your journo has added that bit in, but he did question whether he would be the right signing for a team in your position - a 17 yo with potential??
From reading your comments, a few of you are unhappy with Jewell and maybe he is playing mind games with talk of signings??
Personally I think Powell will stay at Crewe until at least the summer, where he probably go to one of the big guns, who will probably loan him out to probably a Championship team next season, so you never know.
Probably go for a lot more than 2m too - Oxlade Chamberlain went for 11m, so on that line we should be looking to get 4-5m minimum with add on's.
For the record, I've been a Crewe fan for over 40 years including the 8 seasons in the Championship between 97-06 and Powell is definately of that standard now and will be a future England player bar injuries.
In other circumstances a move to you guys would be a good stepping stone for him, but we do harbour hopes of a playoff place ourselves this season and you are hovering above the drop zone- doubtful, but we could both end up in league 1 next season?
Also Davis is a new mangager for us with only 10 games in charge so far with 20 points from them - and we love him - he is everything that our previous manager wasn't - Dario Gradi, who btw is our Director of Football/Academy Director now, with our academy being of a very high standard - we are aiming for category B status- not sure where that compares to your academy, but that is where we spend all our money, so while Powell is still at Crewe he will not stop improving due to any training ground/facility issues.
Really do hope you finish the season well as always liked you guys - a proper football club.
Just watched Escape to Victory which I had forgot was full of your old legends too :)
