Isegrim 8862 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Whilst the bloke is clearly a bellend and I think that he shouldn't have been anywhere near the first team, I think he has done a good job bringing youngsters to the club. Whilst Bassong is clearly an outstanding find, it might be that the likes of Adjei, Spear, Ranger, Vuckic and Soderburg are equally good. We also seem to be bringing in a lot more players for trials than in the past. I just hope that this doesn't end, beacuse as a model it is the right way to run a football club. It was KK that brought him in... Same as all those youngsters were more than likely spotted by scouts and recommended to the club with Wise having the job to convince them to sign (which he failed with a couple of promising youngsters, like Vokes). I think Volkes is a different case, he's played 30 times for Wolves this season, he'd have been lucky to make the bench at the toon. He'd been unlucky not to make the bench this season tbh... As much as I agree with the policy of acquiriny young talents from all over the world. How successfull this approach is going to be we will only see in a couple of years time as normally only few players actually turn good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all being talked up as world beaters, who we are pipping Real Madrid to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The Sun Shearer moves to dump Wise NEWCASTLE boss Alan Shearer is wielding the axe at St James' Park — with Dennis Wise the first casualty. SunSport understands the Toon legend will move swiftly to get the club in order by removing the unpopular executive director. Wise, 42, joined the club in January last year for a role in player transfers, scouting and youth development. But the relationship with the Toon Army turned sour as they dubbed him, along with vice president Tony Jiminez, part of a 'cockney mafia' under club owner Mike Ashley. Jiminez left Toon last October, while Wise stayed behind to work with new manager Joe Kinnear. But with Kinnear now recovering from a quadruple heart bypass, Shearer has stepped in to the Newcastle hot seat and instantly rung the changes. Wise's departure coincides with the appointment of former Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie, who is set to join Shearer's coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a policy that only works when you add them to a succesful first team. Adding a few drops of red wine to a bucket of anti-freeze, just dilutes and ruins the wine.

Its not like Wise being here or not will make a difference to the performances in the last 8 games. Hopefully (although who knows what his influence is?). Still it's not a good thing for the future, nor necessarily a good thing for Shearer and results if he's going to be awkward for a pay off/to keep his job.

Guest alex Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't think it matters in the short-term and the whole future of the club in the medium to long term depends on these 8 games anyway. Shearer will just chin Wise if he tries to get involved in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3954 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If it wasn't the plan for him to go and it is at Shearer's request then that for me shows that Ashley has finally realised what shit we are in in having to change his plans. It also suggests they want Shearer for longer than this rescue mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
