The Toon director of football has been spotted at Watford and MK Dons in recent weeks, allegedly seeing old mates rather than being on Newcastle business.
Wise, we believe, was sat with managing director Derek Llambias in the stands ... but the amazing thing is Joe Kinnear was not there.
Two weeks ago Kinnear said "I have not spoken to Dennis Wise, nor have I seen him", so perhaps that was the ideal opportunity ... IF he knew Wise was going to turn up!
