Dennis Wise has turned Leeds United around this Season and despite the deduction of fifteen points, took them to third position in the League. Unfortunately, with a late, late equaliser at Luton last week, they dropped to fifth, but it is still a miraculous feat, to have gained so many points, after deduction.
Dennis Wise has today gone to Newcastle, as Director of Football. Hah!!! Who ever heard of that title before? Is this another ploy in the dirty tricks campaign for property developers to try and get their hands on Elland Road, or plain, Bates greed again? Was Dennis doing too well for Leeds United, and needed to be shipped out? What the heck is going on there?
Are there any other Leeds United Supporters out there who give a damn? I know you'll be chanting for Dennis at Southend tonight and I wish I could be there to join in, for Wisey will surely be missed at Elland Road.

Yes, he's been traded, my friend but he's not a player. Players come and go all the time, and the team changes, but they still have each other.
Dennis Wise was Leeds' Manager, a good Manager, who turned them around and made their decline into a great ascent, after they'd been deducted 15 points at the beginning of the season. Since all this blew up, they haven't won a match, and I'm sure all the politics at the Club, don't help their plight. But, as of Wednesday, a new Manager took over, who used to play for the team in his younger days. He's a fiery Scotsman and hopefully, he'll be able to pick them up again. We can only but hope.
In the meantime, Dennis Wise will be sorely missed at Elland Road, (Leeds' Ground).
Brightest Blessings. xx

Oh Sweety you know I am not a Leeds fan but I do think it must be awful to lose Dennis after the way he has performed miracles this season - yep even I know all about that - who would have thought that when those points were deducted Leeds would be anywhere but way at the bottom of their division ( where my beloved Stirling Albion are) right now? I know it seems like maybe there are sinister motives behind this but strangely enough Director of Football is becoming more common now that more and more teams are seeing Football as more of a corporate business than a sport! xxx

Yes, he did work wonders with the team, following the points deduction, and they too are to take credit where credit is due.
I hadn't realised this was becoming such a popular post! Well done, that Stirling Albion supporter! :)
They lost tonight, at Southend, 0-1, which plonks them back down into 6th place. Had they won the game, they would have been 2nd, but never mind. Gary Macallister fronts a home match against Tranmere on Saturday, on his return as manager, and his heart is surely in the Club he played for, for a while.
Brightest Blessings my friend, and good luck Gary... we know you can do it! :)
