Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Leeds United boss Dennis Wise will be offered a role as Newcastle's director of football, BBC Leeds understands. A Leeds spokesperson would only confirm that Wise will be in charge of the team for Tuesday's game at Southend. Wise, 41, who played for England under Keegan, has guided Leeds into play-off contention in League One despite them starting the season on minus 15 points. That penalty followed their going into administration and being relegated, and money remains tight at Elland Road. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/7213096.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) First we appoint KK and now possibly Wise as DOF. He's a good manager but didn't really see him as a DOF must admit. Bring it on whatever it is. Edited January 28, 2008 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Wasn't this mooted in the press recently (a couple of weeks ago)? Dismissed it as bollocks at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4002 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I could see it making sense as an assistant or coach but DOF seems a bit askew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm sure he'll just be an assistant....and a good one. Otherwise I agree completely with the sentiment, Dennis Wise isn't the sort you want overseeing all aspects of the football side of things other than than one to one work with players.

JawD 31 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ronny Gill says its on Wise would not be involved in the day-to-day first-team duties but would be employed in a similar role to Frank Arnesen at Chelsea, overseeing all other aspects of the club. Is this not just like asking Fegan (sp?) to come and look after your kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My boss is a Leeds fan and he reckons that Leeds haven't been doing too well since Poyet left for Spurs. This talk about Wise guiding them to a play-off place with a 15 point deduction wasn't down to Wise so the Leeds fans think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
