Jimbo 133 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Dennis Wise has emerged as a shock candidate to join Kevin Keegan in Mike Ashley's Newcastle revolution. The Leeds manager is the leading contender to become director of football in a Europeanstyle management structure, working with Keegan on the recruitment of players and having authority over every aspect of the football side of the club except the first team. But Leeds chairman Ken Bates is unlikely to let his manager and close friend go quietly, with his club looking good for promotion from League One despite starting the season with a 15-point deduction for breaking insolvency rules. But a well-placed source claims Wise is the man Ashley wants, ahead of more experienced coaches like Gerard Houllier, who would appear to be a more natural choice for such a role. The job would give Wise huge responsibility at one of the country's top clubs and would provide Ashley with a capable caretaker, or replacement, if Keegan were to make a sudden departure. The key man in the Wise intrigue is Tony Jimenez, the property dealer and football Mr Fixit who first came to public attention when The Mail On Sunday revealed his crucial role in Tottenham's capture of Juande Ramos.

smoggeordie 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hmmm would be a strange appointment I reckon. It's doubtful we'd need a ready made replacement for KK because Al will be, more than likely, on the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It say's he'd be a DOF, not an assistant to the Messiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
