Earnshaw out if the price is right

Derby manager Paul Jewell would be prepared to sell Rob Earnshaw this summer - but only for the right price.

The Wales striker was was signed for a club record £3.5million from Norwich last summer but the diminutive forward has proved to be an expensive flop at Pride Park, scoring just once in a miserable campaign for the relegated Rams - a consolation in the 4-1 FA Cup drubbing by Preston.

Jewell said: "If there's takers and they put offers on the table and Rob wants to go and it's acceptable to the club, then there's no harm done."

He added: "If Rob doesn't want to go and the money's right, the deal won't happen.

"If Rob does want to go and the money's not right then the deal won't happen.

"The deal will only happen if the player wants to leave, I want it to happen and the money's right. It's as simple as that, and that goes for every player."

Meanwhile, the Rams have confirmed the appointment of Chris Hutchings as assistant manager.

The 50-year-old, who replaces Stan Ternent, has previously worked under Jewell at Bradford and Wigan, succeeding the Liverpudlian on both occasions as manager.

"We have been successful in the past and I want to make sure that we are successful in the future," Hutchings said.

"This is a massive club in terms of tradition. It wants to play a certain type of football that we all know the public want."
