He was expected to team up again with Paul Jewell at Derby before Stan Ternent was appointed as No 2 at Pride Park.

Hutchings during his short-lived stay as Wigan manager

Breaking his silence after leaving Wigan, Hutchings said: 'We've not fallen out. I congratulated Paul on his move and wished him all the best. I know he'll do a good job at Derby.

'Some people still think I've gone to Derby. I was invited by the LMA to a one-day coaching course at Nottingham Forest and after my name on the list they'd got me down as Derby County.'

Hutchings said he did not expect to be fired by Wigan but added he was now looking to get back in the game.

'It was a shock getting the sack,' he said. 'But after a month of golf and watching other people's teams, I'm ready and willing and maybe a little bit wiser.'

CHELSEA COP TO FA CHARGE

Chelsea have admitted an FA charge that their players 'failed to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion' at Derby last month. The charge relates to the behaviour of several players towards referee Andre Marriner after he sent off Michael Essien in injury time.

Sheffield United's fury over having a late Matt Kilgallon goal disallowed at Norwich last Saturday was compounded by the players having footed half the travel bill to East Anglia.

Chairman Terry Robinson revealed the strange arrangement, saying: 'The players asked if we could fly down rather than make the long trip by road and they paid half the costs themselves.'

BERTI'S BONUS FOR ENGLISH SIDES

Nigeria boss Berti Vogts has hinted his English-based players might be available for the FA Cup third round on January 5 and 6.

The squad are due to meet for a training camp from January 4 but Vogts said: 'Although I would love to have all my players in camp for the mandatory 14 days, I will give concession to those in England. But by January 6 all players have to be there.'
