Hes an executive director, no matter which way you look at it, its a senior role. KK is your team manager / head coach. Those of you who work. How many of your companies have managers that dont report to a director?

Wiki, the font of all knowledge. Written by the fans for the fans. Why dont you drop an email to the club PR department and aske what your Executive Director (Football) role entails in relation to signing players. I am sure they will give you an answer (similar to the one I have given you) It's a direct lift from the BBC report.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...ted/7213096.stm

As the saying goes, for that price I'll drive him there myself. Bring on the new blood.

Really? Am I? Would you prefer it if I sugared the pill for you? Look it doesnt matter what Wise's role is at NUFC, Ashley knows where he wants his business to be 2 years down the line and it isnt with a squad full of players on 100K/week contracts. Wise / KK know what kind of player they can afford / attract. I can absolutely guarantee you that you wont be buying any big names this summer, that was a FFS trick to keep the fans onside. Get sensible, good quality players in on sensible wages and build up slowly.

Danny if he was DoF, he'd be called DoF, surely you can understand that? It's not as if Prince owns the copyright And allegedly, yes it was all laid at Gus's door. Executive Director in Charge of Football. Its like calling an ice cream a cornetto, it still keeps you cool in summer, but affectively, its just an ice cream.

Shows how much you know about the game. What, so he didn't move to PL and he took a job for less money did he? Aye, I reckon you're right. No he moved for a directors role at Newcastle. Im sorry but no one can tell me they would leave the hot seat at a massive club at Leeds to be a scout at NUFC no matter what the pay off. There's more to his role than just being a scout though, which is what people are actually telling you. That's ignoring the situation at Leeds which mitigates somewhat against the fact it's such a 'massive club' as you put it. He's also based in London and I would imagine it's a much less stressful job. I'm speculating here of course, but so are you. Exactly he is, he is the director of football, all signings have to go through him. Don't wrote him off until you see what he can do. Danny yet again you keep calling Wise DoF, he's not as others have told you. If you honestly don't wish to be seen as a WUM don't keep trying it on with comments you know aren't true. And why did he leave Leeds? I think you might find one of the major factors now sits on Spurs bench and Wise knew he wasn't up to the job of manager. His job title in executive director in charge of Football. Call it what you like but to me thats a DOF. Gus is a good coach but surely Leeds success couldnt be laid all at his door could it?

Wise isn't a scout. Chief scout then. Either way its hardly the same as being the main man at a club. I know what I would rather.

Then the question you have to ask yourself is: If Wise is nothing more than a scout, why did he leave the number one job at Leeds?

All well and good and I think we know what a dof does mate. But the the question here is does Wise have the right profile for such a role? Lots of eyebrows raised I must admit. Has he been in the game long enough to set up a scouting network? Maybe he has an innovative vision for the club that Ashley liked? Maybe he is just there as a buffer to stop KK and MA falling out. Or maybe its jobs for the boys. Time will tell. My feeling is MA has a plan for NUFC and until that is realised your spening will be nominal, after which you may then see what Wise can do.

The principle of the DOF role is to provide alevel of continuity within the clubs in these days when management posts are rarely long term. The DOF has a vision for the club that doesnt change no matter who coaches the team. KK will have input on positions he needs filling and players he fancies, Wise will also have players that fit with his vision. If both agree on a player they will approach MA for funding. Thats the way it works. KK will be coaching / picking the team / motivating the players.

aye martin o'neils good at getting average players to play well Average is a step up on most people opinions of him on here.

Coloccini is a great player. Will he fit into the wage structure though

Looks like (many peoples pick for the best manager outside the top four) Martin O'neil has raised his bid. Let the bidding war begin.

life expectancy in Nigeria is only 47. Puts things into perspective. RIP.

Check out Vidukas beer gut. Good lad.

No offence Billy but you think Arsenal fans are knowledgeable? Most don't know football even existed prior to 2000. Maybe it just because they agree blindly with the tripe you lot feed them on a daily basis. Where as we pull you up on what your peddling. The self proclaimed "best fans in the world". Toot toot, sponge fingers, jester hats and airhorns all round.

Spot on about Alan Green, the miserable closet scouse.

Of course you could have gone down the other route and not bothered reading it.

Every team should have a Kuyt. Think of him as a Joey Jones type of player, no great skill but gives his all and more for the team, is supremely loyal and fulfilled his role on the right superbly well in the second half of the season. Even does a bit of tapping up for you on the side. Please elucidate. I would love to play with Keano story in the press today. Fucking carthorse. Doesn't look as though he needs any encouragement. Well done, you've turned his head. Enjoy the bottled tackles / headers, the blaming of team mates whe he is at fault, the roller coaster form, the strops when subbed and the step overs and flicks that never come off. Keane joining Liverpool wont benefit either of us. I don't care whether we get him or not Danny, although I do like him as a player. One things for sure, if he doesn't pull his weight Rafa will ship him, he wastes no time when a player he's bought doesn't work out. I doubt he'll throw strops, no offence meant but he'll be a small cog in a big wheel. He'll either grab the chance with all he's got or he'll be gone. Along with 20mil. Lets face it you haven't exactly got that to burn at the moment.

What, you didn't expect this? Seriously, if you are not a WUM then you are totally dumb. Pick your choice... Thick as two short planks mate.
