Fired & Tired

It wasn't that long ago that Stuart Pearce and Paul Jewell were being brought up in conversations regarding the next manager of the England National Team. The dynamic duo of Fired & Tired would have made quite the pair on the touchline during Euro '08 qualifiers. Pearce can still fall back on his U-21 coaching job and hopefully players like David Bentley and Gabriel Agbonlahor can be given a senior squad promotion before Psycho can bring out the truly mediocre in a couple of England's most promising young players.

I have no idea where Paul Jewell will go after he gets a good night's sleep. He deserves credit for keeping a side a lackluster as Wigan in the Premiership for two seasons now. However, I don't know if the neutral fan will really benefit from watching Wigan matches next season. Hell, Wigan fans don't even watch Wigan matches. If he can't handle a couple seasons fighting it out in the most popular league in the world, how can anyone consider him in the future? Certainly none of the bigger clubs in England will take him serious.
