Wise Says: I'm No Vulture!

Wise: "A lot of people have got a little mixed up with the reason I am here, and we need to straighten that out quite quickly.

"I am not here to be involved in the first team; I am not here to manage.

"I am here to help Kevin as much as possible with bringing young players through, and also recommending certain players to him.

"He will say yes or no. He has the final word. No-one else.

"I am not going to do things like bring players in behind his back. I am not into that.

"Everything that happens will be run past him and he will say yes or no."

So what does Keegan think about i? One this is certain ... he waffled at the press conference and he sure as hell is not going to tell us what he REALLY thinks about it.

Keegan: "It was a very good meeting. Although it shocked a lot of people, the announcement, I knew what was coming.

"I have been fully informed and completely in favour of it.

"It's something that needed to be put in place at this football club. Nobody from outside, and certainly the fans, should look on it as anything other than a good thing.

"Dennis knows the game. Sometimes, the person you see on the football pitch and the person off it are totally different.

"Most of the guys in my day who would frighten you to death on a football pitch were so meek and mild off it, it was frightening.

"Too many people think the guy they see on the pitch is that guy. A lot of players change character when they go on to the pitch.

"As far as Dennis' appointment at this club, it is a major plus. It's an interesting role for him, something really to get his teeth into.

"If we can get it right at the top end of this club and they can start to make the foundations better and we meet somewhere in the middle, it would be fantastic for this club."
