In an intriguing interview with Sky Sports, Jewell said: "I may be the only person in the world who believes this, but why don't we allow it?
"People say it is cheating, but you ask any supporter and if one of our players goes down in the box and we need a penalty to stay in the league or win a cup. Do you know what they are going to say? It will be the same as Man United fans, Liverpool fans, Chelsea fans and chairman: Go down.
"At the end of the day I might get lambasted for that, but that's the way it is. I hate diving, but if it is in the game and if you allow it it will go away on its own and people will stop talking about it."
Whether the FA agree with Jewell is up for discussion.
