Looks like the little runt is off ..
BREAKING Dennis Wise's future as Leeds United manager
was in serious doubt today with Newcastle United
fighting to lure the 41-year-old to St James' Park.
The Premiership club are understood to have offered
Wise a position within Kevin Keegan's regime, and
sources on Tyneside suggest Newcastle officials are
confident of completing a deal subject to agreeing
compensation with Leeds.
Wise's roll at St James' Park would equate to that of
a director of football, providing him with influence
over most aspects of the Newcastle's operations but
giving the former Chelsea midfielder no input into the
day-to-day running of the club's squad. Keegan is not
believed to be interested in recruiting Wise as his
assistant manager.
Leeds were indicating today that they still expect
Wise to be in charge of the Elland Road club for
tomorrow night's League One clash with Southend United
at Roots Hall, but it is believed that Newcastle have
made United's manager aware of their interest, and
they are waiting to discover whether he will accept a
move to Tyneside.
United have already lost former assistant manager
Gustavo Poyet to Tottenham Hotspur this season, and
Wise's departure would disrupt the club at a crucial
time with 18 league matches remaining.
Leeds climbed to within a point of second position in
the League One table after their 1-1 draw with Luton
Town on Saturday.
