Raconteur Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Now, don't section me just yet As was said in the Venables thread and I'm sure many others, we really are scraping the bottom of the barrell. O'Leary is taking the piss - and I say that having defended Ashley for a lot longer than others. I know there are several impediments to the idea such as: Half of Tyneside want to string him up (no one ever told me why though, but that's a different argument) The players might have similar opinions He quit Leeds because he wasn't interested in the day-to-day responsibilities of management These are valid arguments. But as we all know, this is the Toon, with extra Ashley wackiness. Anything is possible. And "anything" includes the possibility of Wise taking over first team affairs until the club is sold. The "pros" such as they are include: He's half a step away from the job anyway, no matter your perspective on the rights and wrongs of it all He is available He is out on his ass the second the club is sold (again, right or wrong) He's has experience, obviously not the resume of Hitzfeld, but experience He can't say he doesn't know what he's getting himself in for! Anyway, when I saw O'Leary was the serious number two option after Venables, my first thought was "Fuck, I'd rather have Wise". And then I laughed and wondered what the folk of N-O would think of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hmmm... I guess never now that Kinnear has been appointed! I'd lock the thread but it will sink like a stone anyway It could just be part of the grand plan. Get rid of Keegan, thrash around looking like no one wants the job, hire someone totally incompetent to make Wise look good and then have Wise ride in like a knight in shining armor.
