Wise quits Leeds for Magpies role
Leeds boss Dennis Wise
Wise has worked wonders this season at Leeds
Leeds United have agreed to let manager Dennis Wise join Newcastle in an as yet unspecified role.

Wise, 41, will join the club on Tuesday and will work under Kevin Keegan, who returned for a second spell as Magpies manager earlier this month.

A club statement said: "We have agreed a compensation package with Newcastle for the services of Dennis Wise.

"He will part with the club on Tuesday after completing preparations for the game at Southend on Tuesday."

The statement added: "Newcastle had approached us for permission to speak with Dennis on Friday and since then things have happened very quickly."

Newcastle great Alan Shearer held talks with Keegan last week but has made it clear he will not return to St James' Park as his number two.

Wise played for England under Keegan and has enhanced his standing at Leeds.

The former Chelsea captain has guided his team into play-off contention in League One despite them starting the season on minus 15 points.

That penalty followed their going into administration last season and being relegated, and money remains tight at Elland Road.

Keegan himself would not be drawn on the subject of Wise at a Newcastle media briefing on Monday.

"Obviously, there are going to be some moves at this club, but I think the chairman (Chris Mort) has really got to come out and say what that's all about later this week."

It is the second time this season that Leeds chairman Ken Bates has lost a member of his managerial team to a Premier League club following assistant manager Gus Poyet's move to Tottenham earlier in the season.

Did not see that one coming

Odd.

Taxi for Wise

Apparantly he's always wanted to work with Joey Barton.

lmao

Saw this today at the end of an interview with online sensation Gobboboy:

Gobboboy: I don't really have a style of play. I adapt to the table around me, because every decision you make at the table is an independent decision. Im also looking at moving into soccer management with a small team in the uk called leeds united

I am surprised tbh, but then again I don't think its necessarily a bad thing for Leeds. We need a kick start and to push on to get automatic promotion which seems no team wants to take atm.

He always was a shitster though.

Bets on when Ironside posts Leeds joke? 1/2 within 5mins.

Chelsea Scumbag.

Ok, Next Manager:

McAllister G 5/2
Allen M 16/1
Bassett D 33/1
McLaren S 6/1
Johnson Gary 20/1
Shearer A 33/1
Sheridan J 7/1
Ritchie A 25/1
O'Driscoll S 33/1
Adams M 7/1
McGhee M 25/1
Coleman C 8/1
Allardyce S 25/1
Strachan G 40/1
Davies B 8/1
O'Leary D 33/1
Ince P 8/1
Speed G 33/1
Poyet G 50/1
Royle J 14/1

Realistically, who would the Leeds fans want to "kick you on"?

Coleman I heard over the weekend when this story first leaked out. We will see.

Probably an ex Leeds player.

Lots of the names on their are a bit unrealistic tho imo.

Martin Allen sticks out at 16s.
Youd know him better i expect tighty from his time at Liecteser, but did a good job at Brentford (i think) in this league and isnt currently employed.

Coleman would be decent for you.  Garry Mac is a legend, and I'm sure you'd be happy with him?

Vinny Jones?

  rotflmfao Do they charge danger money as an "extra" on the meter ?

I like the thought of Fat Sam taking this job, not sure Leeds could afford him and his army but might be worth a little punt..

Dreary O'Leary as an outside bet.. lmao bring the good times  back..

Micky Adams will be named manager before the weekend.

you are getting neil warnock LOL

Allen is toxic/unemployable

PM if you need details


Gary McAllister? decent option?

Martin Allen I agree there is no way that man can manage players above 2nd div. Bully boy school tactics does not work in todays age of player power.

I would like someone with a decent track record, Micky Adams has proved it at this level sounds a good shout.

Very surprised, but then Newcastle have a history of employing the people they have previously slagged off to the hilt. Having said that, Leeds have done wonders this season, I'm guessing Keegan believes Wise will be his long-term replacement.

bonkers.

Billly Davies or Chris Coleman are best options imo.

Dunno if Coleman will go back to League 1 though after being at Fulham and Sociedad.

Gary Mac gets it.

Heard he's been in talks.  Is it a done deal?  You've done well there if it is.

class guy. Hope it works well

Loved seeing him play for us before he went on to Leeds and Liverpool too.

Not a done deal, but weve suspended the betting after he was backed in from 5/2 to 1/6.

And hes been in Monte Carlo with Ken Bates with talks apparently at an advanced stage.

The fans would b very happy with this appointment.

Ok, now its a done deal.

Shib It.

Just been announced on Sky Sports. 

You've landed a goodun there.

I'm no fan of Leeds but I wish Gary Mac all the best.  Really nice guy.

Are there any football fans who don't like him?  Must be one of the nicest fellas in the game.  Great player too.  Not sure how great a manager he is, but the players will certainly respect him.

I liked him better after he missed that penalty against england ;)

I don't think Everton fans were too keen on him after he pinched 15 yards to score the winning free kick in the last minute of the derby!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-2x8-TTvOc

That one?

It was genius.  He'd taken one 10 minutes earlier, and put it towards the far post and Sami Hyypia.  With that one, he again pointed to Sami to get to the far post. 

That goal made Liverpool's season that year.

Thats the one. The foul was virtually on the half way line!! Quality all the same.

So was the free kick ;)

I mean within sight of it!!

Alan Hansen would have had a field day with that, what the hell the defence was holding a line on the penalty spot - caused all the confusion.

Its a cracking appointment for Leeds. He did a great job with Coventry before having to leave.  I live and work in Leeds now and don't know anyone who is dissapointed to see Wise leave. 

My Dad's a Leeds fan (has been since he was 7 - that's over 70 years!), and he's delighted. 

He was excellent at Leeds (Gary Mac that is, not my old man!), and when he came to Liverpool it was in the twilight of his career, but his class was evident.  He also made a massive impression on Gerrard.  Apparently he is one of the biggest influences on Gerrard and the way he has decided to conduct himself and live as a professional footballer.

Was it my imagination or did Kevin Keegan not seem exactly thrilled by the news that Wise is joining him ?

Heard him on the radio this morning, and this is from the BBC site.  He didn't sound as though he was too happy with it at all, and it certainly didn't sound as though he knew Wise would be brought in.

Haven't seen him speaking about it but I wouldnt really try to shape the quotes from the BBC into anything too negative. He was aware of the Chairman's plans and took the job on in that knowledge. Seems like some press are still looking for further stories. Only time really really tell what its all about and how it'll work out - the main thing is that Wise won't be dealing with the coaching/managing.

I saw him interviewed on Sky after the game last night when Wise's appointment came up in the conversation.

It was Keegan's apparent lack of his usual enthusiasm which got me thinking that all might not be rosy....
