[CJ]

Guess he's too good for leeds then.

 

I think Mr. Wise is doing OK (albeit in a lower division) and therefore we don't need him

[Ian R]

Is it a knee jerk reaction by the toon. My guess is that they had lined him up before they sacked Big Sam.

I have a job for you, managing a team in the North who have high expectations. Plenty of money to work with but you need to make them brilliant in 4 games or your out

 

I really wish they would give a manager at least a season possibly 2 to get his ideas implimented before passing judgement.

 

How long is Keegan going to get ?
