Wise to assist KK.. It should be the other way around. I mean if Wise would accept KK as his assistant.

He'd be mad to walk out on Leeds to play 2nd fiddle to someone who's entire prematch team talk against Arsenal consisted on ' Lets pass it better than them''

He's best off learning his trade where he is, Keegan has nothing to teach him cos he already knows how to motivate people.

Keegan - Played 2 scored none - what a comeback! Hail King Kev

Why would Wise want to quit as a manager to become a director of football? Even if it's for a Premiership club...(?)

I mean, he's doing a pretty good job this season. Despite Leeds being docked points, they're still looking like they should be able to make their way to the promotion play offs and without the points penalty, they would be on top of League One. I'd be very surprised if Wise makes the switch.

Didn't Mr Clarke cut his assitant mangerial teeth as a Newcastle ?

Maybe Dennis is on his way back

I think it would be a good move for Wisey, not if he was to be assistant manager but as a director of football. He's proved that he can coach and motivate players but proving that he can buy players at the top end of the game would be a great asset to him in looking for the big job. And besides that how often does the director of football stab the manager in the back and take over!!! He'd also get to make some really good contacts.

Being an assistant manager and a director of football are hardly the same thing, are they?

Well no, as Directore of Football you get promoted as manager when the manager in place get's on the nerves of the owner....

So Wise would be the Newcastle manager around mid February...

Thats him gone.

It's just been announced that Newcastle and Leeds have agreed compensation. He's off.

Wise went up- to help out old Batesy - he's got them into a play off position after a 17 point deduction at the start of the season, and Bates get's cash strapped Leeds a compensation package. Everyone's a winner.

This is gonna be fun. there's a Leeds supporter in my class at college who's always going on about how Dennis would turn down any one including Chelsea to stay at Leeds , and with the first chance he gets, he's gone

Bad move...I can't believe I'm saying it, but he should've stayed at Leeds.

Money talks mate

Good timing though

Leeds ascendency seems to have slowed - if they get promoted Wise will still take most of the credit - if they dont it will all be someone elses fault.

Shows zero loyalty to Leeds though -

thats the best bit

I miss Dennis!!

It is a blocker - some sites stop people linking to their pictures. Sites like this one!! Yes we do it to but Mod sets up more rude pictures than that one!

Intersting to see KK's reponse now - appears he had no input in Wise's appointment and he has gone on record as saying in the past that he doesn't like this type of arrangement

Already? There were never more than three on their particular wagon .. which goes a long way to explaining the Geordies tendency to move in ever decreasing circles

So True Lofty
