Jewell pins hopes on American dream

PAUL JEWELL admits his hopes of revitalising Derby rest on whether chairman Adam Pearson can convince an American consortium to invest in the club.

Pearson is confident a multi-million euro deal can be completed around the new year, but even by then it could be too late for Jewell.

Christmas might be the time of year for miracles, but right now it is highly unlikely divine providence could spare Derby from almost certain relegation.
