Former Town boss Paul Jewell has spoken out in relation to his exit from Portman Road for the first time and has admitted that he made errors with transfer policy whilst at the club.

Speaking in a recent radio interview, the former Wigan boss admitted he approached additions to his squad in the wrong way and should have asked for more money from owner Marcus Evans: "Looking back, I think I should have pushed it a bit more in the summer for some more money to spend.

"We ended up with too many loan players because of that. It was a mistake and that was down to me. It was my job to push the owner harder because I think, if I had pushed him, he would have backed me.”
