Premier League: Paul Jewell contacts lawyers over sudden departure from West Brom
Wednesday 14 January 2015 11:11, UK
Paul Jewell has told Sky Sports News HQ his sudden departure from West Brom was "not by mutual consent".
Jewell left his role as Albion's assistant head coach on Tuesday - just one week after joining Tony Pulis' backroom team.
West Brom announced his exit on their website at the same time as confirming the appointment of long-time Pulis associate Gerry Francis.
Albion's statement said Jewell "decided that he will not be continuing his recent assistance on a more formal basis", but the former Wigan manager says the matter is now in the hands of his lawyers.
Jewell does not plan to make any further comment at this time.
