well people were banding it about at the hudds match that Wilkins had been seen (but then half the unemployed managers in the country were being said to be seen to)

But wilkins has definately visited the CG once or twice this season putting his own money in a bucket for the red army fund

didn't wise leave millwall when they told him there was no money for him to buy players even though he had spent quite a bit already?

it could be really good in some ways but i can't help feeling it could be mcmahon all over again (not the championship season of course)

OK guys, wether you beleive me or not is up to you lot- all im doing is passing on information here. I happen to liv near someone who works within the club, and they have just foned me and informed me that a deal is being hammered out that would see Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet installed as new manager and coach or summat.

Personally im still sceptical, but if this happens then it would surely be great news?

Wise is a weird one, not something I was expecting. expanding what kaufman said, I can see a Mcmahon scenario, being good when the players are up for it but pretty crap when it get's hard.

Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, May 16, 2006, 23:32:20

You'd have to be a bit fucked off though if you were Iffy right now even if it is all rumours and snippets.

I've nothing against a wise appointment but does Dennis Wise meet the criteria laid out in the quotes in today’s WDP?

When you compare the two Wise’s experience stretches not far off a season or so more games than Iffy’s. Someone like Holloway is perhaps understandable but it’s a bit of a like for like replacement in the managerial stakes except perhaps that Wise would probably prove to be a cracking to the playing squad.

The great Raymundo seems to be a viable connection in both the ‘experienced helper’ stakes and the link with Wise and Bill Power’s old club QPR. Out of all of the connections so far his seems the most viable.

Can’t complain at all mind it’s all interesting stuff and should prove to be an eventful week one way or another.

on the other hand iffy has helped to get the team relegated(not entirely his fault)oh and he got the youths to the youth cup final :roll: think i know what i would prefer..

Not sure if Ray Wilkins will be here, according to the rumours page on BBC:

Will Probably get more people throught the turnstiles on a Saturday but when things start to go pear shaped, which they inevitably will, will he have the tactical nouce and man management skills to get us back on track?

I think it's also going to be a case of how much money is avaliable to him to spend on wages etc......

I hope my doubts are ill-founded and he goes on to be an ace manager. But you can't help but wonder.........

I hope he turns out to be an ace STFC manager though.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Cookie on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:04:07

I'm not sure about this.

It will be very good to have Wise in our midfield, that's one problem position solved in the short term. Wise did take Millwall to the FA Cup final but he inherited some very good players. We don't have any good players so it's up to Wise to buy them in. Does he have good enough contacts, yes i think he does, hopefully Austin will give him the money to buy some decent players in and we could make an immediate return back to the heady heights of L1.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: janaage on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:04:55

Wise and Poyet according to the back page of the adver, not sure what to make of it at the moment, apart from the BP quote of

"whatever we do won't be behind Iffy's back"

Well unless Iffy was sitting in on the interview it seems like that's exactly what happened.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Luci on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:06:52

If Wise is coming here I'd still want Iffy very much involved, especially with the youth teamers as I think he has done a job job with them and can do well in preparing them for 1st team football.

I'd be very very sad if he left completely.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: janaage on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:09:19

But would he want to stay? If he did fair enough, but that must be a blow to your pride, from 1st team manager to youth team coach.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Tails on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:21:08

I don't think Wise will do any better than Iffy tbh. However he does have better contacts and the clubs profile will be raised a bit.

If he plays he'll become the player everyone else wants to take out.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:27:01

I really am undecided on this. I feel if we needed anyone it should be an experienced manager who has lower league knowledge. If we couldn't get one I feel Iffy should've had a good crack at the whip. Wise and Poyet maybe a good move- high profile names which may interest players here, but then again may back fire. Can both still play or are they too old. Poyet used to be ace at chelski..

Would love Wise in midfield, but that doesn't look like it'll happen.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:40:35

Jan, I don't think this has been done behind Iffy's back. Power and Devlin both commented to various fans at the Huddersfield game that Iffy was not 100% likely to be Manager, so it suggests this has been worked on for a while.

I originally took it that they were bringing in someone high profile to assist and Iffy might not like it, but it seems the talks may have taken a different route at some point.

I'd like Iffy to be given a similar job to that of Parnaby at Middlesboro, having complete control over the entire youth set-up at the club. Director of Youth Development or whatever the title is. I think the board should work hard to persaude him to stay because I'm happy he'll become a very good Manager in time.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Forza_Swindon on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 08:42:16

Like most other people have said so far, it'll be great for the club profile, they may attract some other high-profle players too - am very much undecided on the actual performance issue though...fingers crossed it works! I hope there is some way to keep Iffy involved too.

He did a god job with Milwall under difficult circumstances, and if the choice was between keeping iffy or hiring wise, then in my opinion

It worries me the amount of money that will have to be spent on wages for wise and poyet and then the other 'high profile' players be seem to think will join us, esp with the £900,000 cva thing to pay off in the near future. If Power put a mill in surely it would be best paying that off then moving on from there?

Title: Dennis Wise

Power suggested the CVA was in hand. He is also not someone to throw endless cash at things, I think his total investment at QPR was £1m. Hopefully there is enough experience of how bad things can be at this club over the past 5 years that a sensible approach to things is being taken.

to spend a bit more to get a motivator in the manager's job and get him to work with the players you've got ...

OR,

spend the money on better players and keep the average manager you've got.

I can't help but get midly excited about things at the mo. Several weeks back we were facing relegation, splits amongst fans appearing over Iffy, stories coming out about not being able to afford King's salary etc.

Regardless of the capabilities or otherwise of Wise and exactly how much Power might be chanelling our way etc, it's damned good to be talking about potential improvements rather than things getting steadily worse all the time.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Luci on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 10:10:58

In previous seasons we have built a squad capable of reaching the play-offs on a shoestring budget so it can be done providing the contacts are there.....

If the money is spent at a managerial level its a definite must to have someone with a lot of allies/aquaintances in higher leagues.

Same story as the one was taken down from thisis earlier:

Quote

A wise choice?
By Jon Ritson

EXCLUSIVE: FORMER Chelsea duo Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet are being lined up to lead Swindon Town's bid for promotion next season.

The Swindon Advertiser believes Wise has been interviewed for the manager's role at the County Ground and that he would want to bring in his former Chelsea colleague as his assistant.

And it could be that Wise, will follow in the footsteps of Lou Macari and Glenn Hoddle by combining management with playing.
continued...

There has been growing speculation surrounding Iffy Onuora's position although it is by no means certain that Wise will either accept, or has indeed been formally offered the post.

And the board have yet to formally sit down with current boss Onuora to discuss his fate.

Wise and Poyet, are thought to have met Town officials for talks yesterday and been shown training facilities.

Wise, 39, ended last season playing for Championship outfit Coventry City.

Prior to that he had been boss at Millwall, leading the Lions to the 2004 FA Cup final, where they were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United.

Before moving into management he began his career as a member of Wimbledon's Crazy Gang', helping them to Wembley glory against Liverpool in 1988 and he held aloft the famous old trophy again 12 years later as Chelsea saw off Aston Villa 1-0 in the last final to be played at the old Wembley Stadium.

He also took in Leicester City and Southampton on his travels.

A change in the boardroom at the New Den saw Wise move on, having earned plaudits for his work at the London club.

Now it seems as though he is ready for a new managerial challenge in Wiltshire, assisted by former Uruguayan international Poyet, 38.

However, it could be the end of the week before anything is finalised and the picture becomes somewhat clearer.

Town deputy chairman Mark Devlin did not wish to be drawn on the matter as the Swindon Advertiser went to press.

He said: "I have no comment to make at this time."

Strange, I thought he'd be exactly the sort of player/manager you'd like? Hmm, maybe there is more to your man kissing than I first thought.

Dennis Wise is and always has been a grade A cunt and whilst Poyet is a legend what the fuck does he know about 4 th division shit footballers?

I can't help but feel rather excited at the prospect of having dennis wise as manager. A very well known footballer that has acheived loads in the past and he could be coming here!! He could well be the man that brings us back up to league one at the end of next season.....oooooooooooooh exciting times........who knows! :D

if he does come in and does well then everyone will be happy (OBVIOULSY) but i think he is the sort of character that when things are down he will like king and more so mcmahon rub people up the wrong way and could cause a lot of problems within the club and could end up doing more harm than good but i do agree that he is the sort of person we need at the moment as long as he has someone with him who is tactically sound whether it be poyet or wilkins.

everyone should excited and welcome him but don't be suprised if he fucks off at the first opportunity to futher his career.

at least our midfield will get some good coaching for once

and i think cureton and wise would get on well

be interesting to see what i hanlon and evans do now

not sure that breaking your own team mates jaw on a pre-season trip makes you a legend. Makes you a twat in my book. Not keen at all to be honest, but rumour has it that I've been wrong before.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Doore on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:32:14

I doubt the appointment of Wise as a wise choice (hehe) as, although he enjoyed a modicum of success at Millwall, when they had to sell and had no money he couldn't cope, a situation similar to that which he would face here. I'm also unsure as to how solid his knowledge is of the lower leagues, and his ability to work with players of no real talent.

what makes me laugh is that people are slagging off iffy for not being tough enough on the players, but as soon as we get a chace to bring in a manager who would discipline the players, everyone is up in arms and against the idea.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:41:11

wise can hardly be described as disiplined.
twatted a taxi driver and a team mate in the past allegedly!

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Doore on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:49:26

I'm not sure Wise is a disciplinarian. His record on the pitch in regards to discipline is hardly exemplary, and we need not go on about his record off the pitch. Do we want a disciplined team or a team of hot-headed hooligans?

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:49:44

a little bit of passion is not neceserrily a bad thing. how many times have u seen our players not go in for 50:50 balls this seasoin, and pull out of tackles. if wise was in charge players wouldn't be aloud to do that. i no he is a bit ill-disciplined, but is that such a bad thing. you wouldnt call neil warnok the nicest man in the world, an look whats happend to sheff united this season.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:52:52

Having a little sniff around brings back the following results:

Millwall fans reckon he got the team motivated and other teams would hate playing against a side managed by him

Coventry fans seem to think he'd still be a good player next season

Millwall fans are divided, quite strikingly, about his transfer dealings. Players such as Hayles and Dichio for exampe being touted as extremely bad ones (when I'd have thought they'd be ok for a club like Millwall!). Given that he won't be able to sign stupidly expensive players here then I reckon we get to use his best quality and can cancel out any extravegence in the transfer market by having little dosh.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: Doore on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 13:53:05

Point well made Dave, but I'm still unsure about his knowledge of the lower leagues and working with no resources. Also concerned that at previous clubs his attitude has undermined team spirit rather than helped to build it - hardly a decent characteristic of a manager. I hope to be proved wrong though!

Post by: larwood on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 14:03:11

I feel a bit ambivalent about the idea at the moment.IF it does happen i think it could be good,it would certainly increase our chances of attracting players.But it could also be another false dawn a la Colin fucking Todd.I refuse to get too worked up about it until it actually happens.I'd prefer a Wilkins and Wise partnership too tbh.

Title: Dennis Wise
Post by: DMR on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 14:19:44

He'd sort the wasters out that's for sure, unlike their bum-buddy Iffy.

He's a high profile name whose likely to attract a better calibre of player than some journeyman lower league striker.

Get in.

Post by: danny121 on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 14:24:21

Hopefully hel bring in vialli and Dan petrescu and were be well on our way!

Im excited, he performed very well for conventry towards the end of the season so playingwise he has alot to offer. Great record in his first season at Millwall although hard to judge a manager on one season. I do agree hel bring some much needed dicispline to the club, maybe not so on the pitch but off it, hel ensure players not taking the piss being out every saturday night ala pook and nicks. Also heard Wilkins will be joining Peter Taylor at Charlton.

Post by: normy on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 14:25:24

Iffy turned out to a nicer guy than King, but worse tactically and selection-wise.
I had no confidence in his ability to turn things round, and was prepared for another poor season.
A new manager is always a complete unknown starting from scratch, but if Wise joins up, and with Austin's money, there will be more hope as far as I am concerned and I look forward to it.

i suppose the big question is how much did ray wilkins have to do with the success of millwall while wise was in charge?

if wilkins pretty much ran the whole coaching side as a lot of people believe then are we taking a gamble on wise without wilkins as assistant?

remember that wise left loads of the duties to wilkins as wise was on the pitch where he could motivate the players best but can he do this from just the sidelines?

ah well lets see what happens

is this even official news yet as i have yet to see a quote

I hope something comes out of this to be hoenst.

However, will Onuora stay if nothing happens? When King was manager Jan Molby and Mal Machin were interviewed by the board and Kingy stayed when nothing came of it.

[EDIT]

The above link suggest Onuora was always leaving pending success rate.

But why on earth was Onuora allowed to offer contracts etc?????

I'll be happy enough if he comes. Not particularly fond of the bloke(especially after the way he behaved in the 2004 FA cup final), still I've had good fun winding my mate up all day because he hates him so much. I've never heard the phrase 'odious little cunt' used so frequently :D If nothing else at least he'll wind opposition fans up.

i think the club have looked at past records and taking into account our success with player/managers and former top level players.

i think it'll be fucking fantastic, not a huge fan of the midget (short man syndrome = cunt) but i think it'd be a good positive move for the club, which will raise our profile and will certainly be no worse than keeping iffy.

yes the fa cup final for millwall he was an absolute cock.

he kept pulling and grabbing scholes at a free kick for which he should have been sent off for and then after the ref told him no more he did it again straight away and even worse than the last. the ref was very weak that day
