Wise anyone?

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I don't understand it at all, despite Bobo's help and Dibble's incisiveness.

Feck it, I'm off work ill, I don't like either club and I don't like the man. So, as with baseball, I don't HAVE to understand it.

But isn't it great when a club with infinitely more potential than us is run like a fairground stall? :hang:

I wallow in the schadenfreude of it all. :lmfao:

Don't try to understand - just love it, absolutely love it....

In a private room ? ... in a car ? ... at a bus stop or a park bench ? No, in a pub on Briggate in the city centre.

There choices for manager? Jose (wonderland), Lucas Radebe, Alan Thompson (!!), Shearer(!!), David O Leary (:lol:), Jiohn Sheridan (bit more sensible), Andy Ritchie, Martinez....and of course...Fat Sam. Job could well be his....sh*t big team, money to spend, lower league football...and he aint harry basset so maybe. With Speed as asistant?
Gary McAllister's odds-on. Meanwhile, up in ToonWorld, one walking GCSE tells the camera: "It might make things better - they can't get much worse." Whither the Messiah?

Breaking news that Wise's title is Executive Director (Football). Will assist the board on football-related matters including the development of the academy and player recruitment. They've also appointed a Vice-President (Player Recruitment) and a Technical Co-Ordinator. Keegan will apparently be responsible for all matters relating to the first team.

So they've Keegan in as manager, then possibly asked him whether he'd like Shearer as a replacement-in-waiting, then appointed a much younger hungrier manager to a quasi-board position in which he chooses new players and directs the flowering of Newcastle's hardly failing youth academy, plus some other bods to close the transfer deals and organise the training of squad members old and new. Presumably Kevin's job is to look chipper and tell them they're great. Pity that some of the players are already wondering precisely how he does that.

Anyone get the feeling Keegan was brought in as a figurehead to appease the charlies, while Ashley has gone out looking for who he thinks is the best manager he can get?

Mind, if that's Wise, then you've still got to qestion his decision. Seems to be a school of thought, that Poyet was the brains behind the Leeds revival, their results have certainly dipped since he went.

More hilarious still, they didn't even tell Keegan that Wise was coming. Just moved him in without any messiah consultation. Right hand,left-hand? :mrgreen:

They probably figured that, as Little Kev was the Son of God, he knows all things so doesn't need telling. I hope the Geordie gobshites wriggle for months on this one! :mrgreen:

According to Mr Keggle, "I was involved in the decision ... I have been involved all along" ... from before he took the job, by all accounts. From even before Rednapp declined the job.

Bllx, you permed-haired knob. You had no idea whatsoever, as shown in the original interview.

much as it worries me, I was thinking the same. KK as a figurehead (don't worry kev you don't need to do anything too difficult, no risk of another breakdown, just smile at the cameras) and the taxi-twatter as the real manager.

His arrival at Spurs also sparked their recent upturn. Maybe the man's a managerial genius.

Always liked Poyet to be honest.

Aye, those who've interviewed him speak highly of him too. Very astute first signing from Ramos.
