I am just wondering why Keegan felt the need to make this clear to the world. Do you think he's been bickering with cheeky cockerney chappie Wise about who is REALLY running things at St James's?
I bet Wise turned up on his first day and started giving Keegan orders, sending him off to make tea and pop down the newsagents' for fags etc etc.
And anyway, I think Keegan has missed a trick here. It would have been more cunning for him to get Wise in, and then leave it ambiguous as to who is in charge of the continuing fiasco on the pitch...if (when) things continued to go awry and the Toon executioner started sharpening his axe (again), Keegan could then have made out that Wise was in charge all along, and therefore responsible for all Toon's woes.

I would apply to Newcastle Utd FC and see if they have a vacancy as their "Director of Cunning", but that would involve a major relocation, and unless I was REALLY cunning, I would probably get sacked and be back here in Norwich by March, so I probably won't bother.
What made me chuckle was the brackets that accompanied Wise's job.
Executive Director (Football)
Dunno why but that makes me purr a bit.
Schmind = Executive Director (Paperclips)
Will you be applying for a job at St James's, then?
I could formulate cunning plans, and you could paperclip them to stuff.
You could also play amusing pranks on Wise and Keegan by clipping ALL of the paperclips in their paperclip holders together.
We would have a right laugh. Until things continue to go badly for Toon. When they'll sack us. In late February/early March.
Haha - it's a plan. I think the compensation package would soften the blow of the sacking too :)
We could see if we could get paperclips in Keegan's hair :) Have to be careful enraging Wise with paperclips and ensure there are no taxi drivers in the vicinity when he flies in to said rage...
Well you see that is where I come in as director of cunning. YOU get paperclips into Keegan's hair, while I cunningly arrange it so that he thinks it was Wise wot done it. And vice versa. Hilarity will ensue, which might at least improve the atmosphere around the place while the creaping malaise of DOOM and DEFEAT continues to claw icily at the souls of everyone associated with the club.
lolol - you've a wonderful turn of phrase itb :)
someone sent me a pic yesterday via email with the subject 'keegan appoints wise' with a picture of the krankies. i felt that was accurate on sooooo many levels :)
Ah poor old Newcastle...people just AREN'T taking them seriously, which is so funny because being taken seriously is ALL they want at the moment.
Newcastle are the Eastenders of football aren't they? Nobody is speaking to anyone else and disaster is just round the corner...
I was just thinking with the whole taking themselves too seriously thing, that they're like Manchester United, only without the talent.
So it's agreed:
Newcastle United are our second favourite team.
Right?
they need to parachute the chuckle brothers in from rotherham united to complete their set methinks ;)
The "Chuckle" Brothers. The biggest misnomer in British showbiz history.
Even by the standards of kids' television they are VERY VERY VERY unfunny.
They are the sort of comics who rely on whacky suits to extort laughs.
*sneers with disdain*
