BBC Five Live

Free Kick to Arsenal. Hold on PLEASE

Hanging on!!!!!

Smith helping Arsenal out by the sound of things

Its on Five Live for anyone who doesnt have Newcastle World

Nearly 1 on 1 with Given then. We got a bit lucky

Is Enrique injured? or dropped?

Sir John Hall is president isn't he? I seem to remember him being made life president when Ashley bought him out. yea i thought that as well

Tbf it sounds like Woody had already agreed terms with Spurs before we even come in for him. Its sounds like Boro tried creating a bidding war but by the time we entered Woody was 90% a spurs player already.

to me it means they will help in the assessing and acquisition of players with keegan. to be fair you could take it either way, depending on if your positive or negative about the idea. Didn't Keegan say he was against the idea when he was suggested as Director of football under Allardyce? That's what worries me. do you honestly think, when Keegan was appointed that any of this was not mentioned to him? I asked a question, Keegan said that a director of football puts the manager under unnecessary pressure only 4 months ago? Do you honestly think he's changed his mind since then? Assisting the board with football matters. Helping them get the players in which "KK" wants and helping get young players for the academy.

Newcastle seem to be moving in the right direction and KK wanted to be part of it.

It all depends where SA ends up, if he gets an international job then i cant see them joining him.

Interesting. Very interesting. Hope we get them, Its obvious Newcastle have trying to base the club on Arsenals set up.

Nevermind didnt notice it in the 1st post

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article3267400.ece Newcastle United’s attempt to restructure the club means that a new team will be in place behind the scenes at St James’ Park. One is a familiar face, but the other two newcomers are less well known. Dennis Wise St James’ Park, it seems, has an eternal fascination for football’s bad boys. Wise would point out that he is a different person from the snarling character who was adored by Chelsea fans and loathed by just about everyone else. He has overcome scepticism from Leeds United fans, as well as a 15-point deduction, to hoist the club into a strong position in Coca-Cola League One. Yet the 41-year-old is understood to be pining for a break from management - he has also had spells at Millwall, Southampton (as caretaker) and Swindon Town. His family have not settled in Yorkshire and his new role – which can be filed under the bracket of general manager – should allow him to spend two or three days a week at his Buckinghamshire home. Duties beckoning for Wise will include scouting, but Kevin Keegan, the manager, will have the final say on acquisitions. Chris Mort, the chairman, has also placed great emphasis on developing the club’s academy. Tony Jimenez Set to be named Newcastle’s new vice-president today, he is a friend of Paul Kemsley, the former Tottenham Hotspur vice-chairman. In turn, Kemsley is tight with Mike Ashley, the Newcastle owner, while Jimenez has a long association with Wise, having established a wide network of contacts in football through his background in property development. So the circle is squared. Related Links Wise quits Leeds to join Newcastle revolution Wise’s departure another hurdle for Leeds Jimenez has a reputation as a Mr Fixit, having played a significant role in Tottenham’s capture of Juande Ramos. He was also instrumental in Keegan’s return to Tyneside. He will grease the wheels for transfer deals to be finalised. The model being established is a continental one, where young, talented players are targeted and either integrated into the first team or sold at a profit. Keegan, who knew about the plans before returning to Newcastle, is said to be satisfied that there will be no interference in his domain. A former director of Casa Sports Holdings Ltd, an agency whose clients included Celestine Babayaro, who had an ill-fated period at Newcastle, Jiminez was in Spain last night, scouting for youth-team players. Jeff Vetere A former apprentice at Luton Town, he rose from a youth coaching role at Rushden & Diamonds to become Charlton Athletic’s overseas scouting co-ordinator. Fluent in Italian and Spanish, he has since worked for Real Madrid but will take the title of technical director, which will mean an international scouting role. Credited with an encyclopaedic knowledge of footballers, Vetere will be expected to use his broad range of skills to help Newcastle to restock their youth and reserve ranks with exciting prospects. not sure if this had been posted

No. Then that is a disgrace

You dont know anything tbh. What exactly prompted that response? Firstly, I gave my opinion on the DOF role which is imo true. Seville have had great success at selling their best players ie baptista and ramos and then replacing them with players who are equally as good for less money. That was down to Monchi not Ramos. I then relayed what Leeds fans had told me. Not what I think myself, but what the fans who follow the team told me. Finally, my final sentence is actually a question. I dont know the situation, hence why im asking. Obviously, you disagree with me. But at least you could tell me what you disagree with, so we can discuss, rather than giving me no chance to reply. Quite convient you think Poyet (who is at Spurs) was the brains and Wise (on his way to Newcastle) was utter shite End of the day no fucker on here knows what Wise job is, its funny reading people saying "we are a disgrace" because our owners are trying to make our club better. If Wise was appointed manager i would agree but he hasnt and wont be manager.

why are we?

FFS who said he was KK number 2? Or anything to do with KK and the 1st team?

Before people start stressing out why not wait until his job title is announced

i wasnt far off.

Fucking hope not... I may be wrong but it had KK giving his interview saying "other managers had 5 weeks to prepare for transfers but he came in at a time where he had 2 weeks and that Woody had already gave his word to another team" it then went back to the presenters and they said "one person who could be going is Wise" then it had KK back on saying "I know nothing about this, you will have to speak to Chris Mort"

KK knows nothing of the appointment. He said you will have to ask Mort, Im pretty sure thats what i just heard on Setanta

2-1 Arsenal. We'll score 1st but Arsenal will prove to be to strong for us. It will be another promising 1st half in which we pass it about good and string a few good attacks but 2nd half we will tire and Arsenal will punish us.
