Cork City signing O’Connor in Twitter row with Jewell

Cork City’s latest signing, Shane O’Connor, has become embroiled in a Twitter controversy with former manager Paul Jewell.

After leaving Ipswich to join his hometown club, O’Connor tweeted: “Can’t wait to get started now, hopefully be successful, get back to England and prove all them doubters wrong #c**tjewell!Ill be back ha :-).”

He later said the reference to Jewell had been created by mistake and while his former manager was not his favourite person, he had respect for him.
