Getting more money at a much bigger club is great for Wise but for Newcastle? Ashley loves the publicity and being "a fan" but he doesn't seem to know too much about football. The rest of the "medium sized 8" celebrated when Keegan was appointed. Now they can go on a 7 night binge with Wise coming in.

He was awful as a player and is not that bright. Getting more money at a much bigger club is great for Wise but for Newcastle? Ashley loves the publicity and being “a fan” but he doesn’t seem to know too much about football.

The rest of the “medium sized 8″ celebrated when Keegan was appointed. Now they can go on a 7 night binge with Wise coming in.

Wise always had a short fuse as a player and what many have called a nasty streak. He has shown absolutely no loyalty, no class and no achievement in management. I think Ashley needs to explain quickly to the Newcastle fans what he has in mind. While far more balanced and charismatic, Keegan's Achilles heel is his over emotional side and tendency to bolt when things get tough and criticism comes his way. Any question of Wise's role in any way being able to interfere with Keegan's authority and we have a powder keg ready to explode. Bizarre is the word. 10/1 it all ends in tears!

Apparently Wise will be the Executive Director. He wants to move to a boardroom role from day to day management. Bizarre! The Chairman has also said that Keegan was fully aware of what was going on, in response to King Kev saying he didn't know. In the words of the song, there may be trouble ahead! Hugo, it gets even stranger.

It is most certainly a bizarre decision. The only thing I can think of was that Wise was getting weary of the stress of managing Leeds - the expectation, the court cases and administration battles - and felt that now was a good time to leave, especially with the wheels beginning to come off somewhat after an impeccable start (they have lost their last three games, right?). It also wouldn't be a huge surprise to see someone like Beckford sold in the next week, a scenario which might have left Wise fuming. And Poyet's departure certainly won't have helped matters, either. According to Sky Sports, Keegan didn’t even know Wise was coming. It is most certainly a bizarre decision.
