'''Dennis Frank Wise''' (born 16 December 1966) is an English former [[association football|football]] player and [[Coach (sport)|manager]], and former Executive Director of Football at [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].


'''HE’S A VERY SMALL MAN'''
Wise played as a [[Midfielder#Central midfielder|central midfielder]]. In a career spanning over 20 years, he played for [[Wimbledon F.C.|Wimbledon]], [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]], [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]], [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]], [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] and, most notably, [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]. During his time at [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]], Wise won two [[FA Cup]]s, a [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] and a [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]], becoming the club's most successful captain, although this has since been overtaken by [[John Terry]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/football_focus/3536501.stm |title=Wise saddened by Bates exit |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=5 March 2004 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref>

He also played at international level for much of his career, representing [[England national football team|England]] over a period of ten years. Wise won 21 [[Cap (sport)|caps]] and scored once, on his debut against [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] on 1 May 1991.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.englandstats.com/matchreport.php?mid=670|title = Turkey 0 – England 1; 1 May 1991 (Match summary) |publisher=www.englandstats.com |accessdate= 9 October 2008}}</ref> He was in the national squad for [[2000 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2000]] and played in group games against [[Germany national football team|Germany]] (won 1–0) and [[Romania national football team|Romania]] (lost 2–3).<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.englandfc.com/Profiles/php/PlayerProfileByName.php?id=1080| title= England Player Profile: Dennis Wise| publisher= www.englandfc.com| accessdate= 9 October 2008| deadurl= yes| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081202190631/http://www.englandfc.com/Profiles/php/PlayerProfileByName.php?id=1080| archivedate= 2 December 2008| df= dmy-all}}</ref>

In the latter years of his playing career, Wise gradually became involved in the managerial aspects of the game, starting at [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]], where he took on the role of [[player-manager]], taking them to the F.A. Cup final and European football for the first time ever. He was briefly [[caretaker manager]] at [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]], following the departure of [[Harry Redknapp]], before he took over the reins at [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]] on a permanent basis. In October 2006, he was appointed manager of the then-[[Football League Championship|Championship]] side [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], who found themselves in the relegation zone. Although they were ultimately relegated, Wise reshaped his side in the [[close season]] and Leeds made an excellent start to their first season in the third tier of [[Football in England|English football]].

In a surprise career move, despite their strong position and likelihood of promotion, Wise left Leeds in January 2008 to join the newly reshaped management team at [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in an executive role, tasked with travelling around Europe and further afield identifying young players and developing the academy.<ref name=themag224/> Wise left Newcastle on 1 April 2009.<ref>http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1609507,00.html {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090403051546/http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10278~1609507%2C00.html |date=3 April 2009 }}</ref> Following the situation that led to his departure, Wise admitted "It has all had a damaging effect on my career".<ref name="skysports.com">{{cite news| url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5608614,00.html | work=Sky Sports | title=Wise defends Toon role | date=5 October 2009}}</ref>

==Playing career==

===Wimbledon===
Wise started his career as an apprentice with [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]], but was left without a club after he fell out with manager [[Lawrie McMenemy]]. He moved to [[Wimbledon F.C.|Wimbledon]] on 28 March 1985 at the age of 18 on a free transfer and made his debut under manager [[Dave Bassett]].<ref name="Factfile">{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-510889/Dennis-Wise-Factfile.html |title=Dennis Wise Factfile |work=Daily Mail |date=28 January 2008 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> During autumn of 1985, Wise was loaned to Swedish non-league club [[Grebbestads IF]], where he scored 5 goals in 10 games. He returned to [[Plough Lane]] following his loan spell and helped the club gain promotion to the [[Football League First Division]] in 1986.<ref name="Factfile" /> In his first [[1986–87 Football League|season]] in the First Division, Wise scored four goals in 27 starts as the club defied the critics and finished the season in sixth place.<ref name="Factfile" />

He was a member of the Wimbledon "[[Crazy Gang]]" that reached the FA Cup final in 1988. On 12 March 1988, he provided the free-kick from which [[Brian Gayle]] headed in the clinching goal against [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] to secure passage to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.<ref name="ESPN">{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/facupstories/sport/story/181193.html |title=When Wimbledon couldn't be divided |work=ESPN |date=29 November 2012 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> In Wimbledon's semi-final match against [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] on 9 April, he scored the winner as they reached the final with a 2–1 victory.<ref name="ESPN" /> In the [[1988 FA Cup Final|final]] on 14 May, he played an influential role in defeating heavy favourites [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]], containing winger [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]] and supplying the cross from a free kick from which [[Lawrie Sanchez]] headed home the winning goal.<ref name="ESPN" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/Competitions/FACompetitions/TheFACup/History/historyofthefacup/1988wimbledonliverpool |title=Classic Cup Finals: 1988 |work=The FA |accessdate=28 September 2008}}</ref> Wimbledon were unable to compete in the [[1988–89 European Cup Winners' Cup]], due to the ongoing ban on English teams from European competitions, following the actions of a group of Liverpool supporters in the 1985 European Cup Final [[Heysel Stadium Disaster|Heysel disaster]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/31/newsid_2481000/2481723.stm |title=1985: English teams banned after Heysel |work=BBC |date=31 May 1985 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref>

===Chelsea===
He signed for [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] on 3 July 1990 for a then-club record fee of £1.6 million.<ref name="Factfile" /> In his first [[1990–91 Football League First Division|season]] with the club, he scored 13 goals in 44 matches as Chelsea finished in 11th place.<ref name="Factfile" /> Wise's former Wimbledon teammate [[Vinnie Jones]] joined Chelsea prior to the [[1991–92 Football League First Division|1991–92 season]], and the intimidating presence of his fellow Londoner in the middle of the park seemed to help him rediscover his best form. Wise was Chelsea's top scorer for the season with 14 goals from midfield, with perhaps his best performance coming in a 2–1 victory away to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on 1 February 1992; Chelsea's first league win at [[Anfield]] since 1935.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/club/liverpool/364/blog/post/1846712/50-50-challenge-liverpool-vs-chelsea |title=50-50 Challenge: Liverpool vs. Chelsea |work=ESPNFC |date=25 April 2014 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref>

Following the departure of captain [[Andy Townsend]] in 1993, and the arrival of [[Glenn Hoddle]] as manager, Wise's growing stature within the side was recognised, with Hoddle installing him as captain.<ref name="Chelsea Wise">{{cite web |url=http://www.chelseafc.com/the-club/club-history/former-players/boilerplate/dennis-wise.html |archive-url=https://archive.is/20140928222148/http://www.chelseafc.com/the-club/club-history/former-players/boilerplate/dennis-wise.html |dead-url=yes |archive-date=28 September 2014 |title=Key Former Player: Dennis Wise |work=Chelsea FC |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> Though league form was disappointing throughout the [[1993–94 FA Premier League|1993–94 season]], with the Blues finishing 14th, Wise led Chelsea to their first [[1994 FA Cup Final|FA Cup Final]] in 24 years, though he couldn't prevent the Blues crashing to a 4–0 defeat to [[Manchester United]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football--fa-cup-final-cantonas-double-take-rampant-united-realise-the-dream-after-chelsea-pay-the-penalty-for-missed-chances-1436057.html |title=Football / FA Cup Final: Cantona's Double take: Rampant United realise the dream after Chelsea pay the penalty for missed chances |work=The Independent |date=15 May 1994 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref>

In the second league match of the [[1994–95 FA Premier League|1994–95]] season, Wise scored his first goal, netting a penalty as the Blues came from 0–2 down to defeat [[Leeds United]] 3–2 on 27 August 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-chelsea-seize-the-moment-leeds-selfdestruct-1379295.html |title=Football: Chelsea seize the moment: Leeds self-destruct |work=The Independent |date=29 August 1994 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> Wise's ill-discipline began to show at the beginning of the [[1994–95 Chelsea F.C. season|1994–95 season]], picking up a red card for swearing in a 2–4 loss to [[Newcastle United]] on 10 September.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-newcastle-apply-the-frighteners-1448367.html |title=Football: Newcastle apply the frighteners |work=The Independent |date=12 September 1994 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> He scored his first goal in [[UEFA competitions|Europe]] five days later, capping off an impressive Chelsea performance as the Blues defeated [[Viktoria Žižkov]] 4–2 in the first round of the [[1994-95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/ECWC/AllTimeStatistics/season=1994/Round=142/match=51350/index.html |title=Chelsea 4–2 Viktoria Žižkov |work=UEFA |date=15 September 1994 |accessdate=28 September 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040626210420/http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/ECWC/AllTimeStatistics/season%3D1994/Round%3D142/match%3D51350/index.html |archivedate=26 June 2004 |df= }}</ref> Worse was to follow off the pitch as Wise was sentenced to a three-month prison term in March 1995 for assaulting a London taxi-driver and was ordered to pay £965 compensation to him for damage to the cab, £169 for damage to his spectacles and £100 for the shock and distress.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-wise-sentenced-to-three-months-in-jail-1611244.html |title=Wise sentenced to three months in jail |work=The Independent |date=14 March 1995 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> The prison sentence was later overturned on appeal.<ref name="Appeal">{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2290304/Dennis-Wise-is-down-to-business-at-Newcastle.html |title=Dennis Wise is down to business at Newcastle |work=The Telegraph |date=29 January 2008 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> Nonetheless he was briefly stripped of the Chelsea captaincy by Hoddle over the affair, and a long term thigh injury capped a miserable season for the midfielder.<ref name="Appeal" />

Wise [[Captain (association football)|captained]] the Chelsea team that defeated [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] 2–0 in the [[1997 FA Cup Final]], only the club's second [[FA Cup]] triumph and Wise's first trophy as Chelsea captain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1997.htm |title=Chelsea 2 Middlesbrough 0 |work=The Telegraph |date=20 May 1997 |accessdate=28 September 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717033658/http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1997.htm |archivedate=17 July 2011 }}</ref> Chelsea's success would continue in the [[1997–98 Chelsea F.C. season|1997–98 season]] as Wise first led Chelsea to victory in the [[1997-98 Football League Cup|League Cup]], another 2–0 win against Middlesbrough, the midfielder's cross for [[Frank Sinclair]]'s opener capping a superb display.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/71179.stm |title=Chelsea do it again |work=BBC Sport |date=29 March 1998 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> Wise also made a decisive contribution in the [[1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final|Cup Winners' Cup final]], a dinked pass over the [[VfB Stuttgart|Stuttgart]] defence setting up [[Gianfranco Zola]] to score the winner, moments after coming on as a substitute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/news/newsid%3D2546.html |title=1997–98: Sub Zola inspires Chelsea |work=UEFA |date=13 May 1998 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref>

Wise then captained Chelsea to victory over [[Real Madrid]] in the [[1998 UEFA Super Cup]], a late [[Gus Poyet]] strike securing a 1–0 victory in Monaco.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/history/season=1998/ |title=1998: Poyet strikes late for Chelsea |work=UEFA |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> His disciplinary issues were so severe during the [[1998–99 Chelsea F.C. season|1998–99]] season, that Wise missed no fewer than 15 matches in all competitions.<ref name="Chelsea Wise" /> He received three red cards in addition to being charged with biting the arm of [[Real Mallorca]] defender [[Elena Marcelino]] in the second half of their [[1998–99 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] semi-final first-leg 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge, though he was later cleared by [[UEFA]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-wise-escapes-punishment-by-uefa-1088512.html |title=Football: Wise escapes punishment by UEFA |work=The Independent |date=20 April 1999 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> In the [[1998–99 FA Premier League|Premier League]], he led Chelsea to their highest ever final position at the time, third, thereby securing a place in the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] for the first time in the club's history, losing only three leagues games along the way, a feat bettered by only three English champions in the 20th century.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/may/20/1999-title-man-utd-arsenal |title=On Second Thoughts: why the 98-99 title race was one of the best ever |work=The Guardian |date=20 May 2009 |accessdate=29 September 2014 }}</ref>

In Chelsea's first ever Champions League match, a third-qualifying round match against Latvian side [[Skonto FC]], Wise captained the side to a 3–0 victory, and 0–0 draw in the second leg meant that Chelsea had qualified for the group stage of the Champions League at the first time of asking.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1999/matches/round=1285/match=56892/postmatch/lineups/index.html |title=Chelsea 3-0 Skonto |work=UEFA |date=11 August 1999 |accessdate=29 September 2014 }}</ref> On 20 October 1999, he came on as a second-half substitute and scored Chelsea's fourth goal as they defeated [[Galatasaray S.K.

===Leicester City===
Wise's time at Leicester was less successful and marred by controversy. He made just 17 league appearances, scoring once against Liverpool,<ref>{{cite news

===Millwall===
Wise then signed for [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]] on 24 September 2002 and became [[player-manager]] in [[2003 in association football|2003]]. Millwall were the first team from outside the top flight to reach the FA Cup final since [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in [[1992 FA Cup Final|1992]] when Wise led them to their first ever [[FA Cup Final]] in [[2004 FA Cup Final|2004]]. The [[Football League First Division|First Division]] side lost to reigning [[Premier League|Premiership]] [[English football champions|champions]] [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] 3–0.

They were knocked out in the first round by [[Hungary|Hungarian]] champions [[Ferencvárosi Torna Club|Ferencvaros]]. He resigned at the end of the [[2004-05 in English football|2004–05]] season.

===Southampton===
Wise returned to [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] on a [[Free transfer (football)|free transfer]] on 27 June 2005 and made 12 appearances for the club. With the resignation of [[Harry Redknapp]], he was briefly joint-[[caretaker manager]] of the club with [[Dave Bassett]]. However, he left [[St Mary's Stadium|St Mary's]] on 26 December, when [[George Burley]] was appointed as the new manager.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/4558348.stm |title= Wise concludes Southampton stint |accessdate=2 November 2007 |date=26 December 2005 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> He scored once in the league for Southampton, in a 2–2 draw with [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/4232308.stm|title=Ipswich 2–2 Southampton |publisher= BBC Sport|date=13 September 2005 |accessdate=4 September 2009}}</ref>

===Coventry City===
It was not long before Wise was playing again, as he signed a six-month deal with [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] on 19 January 2006.<ref name="Coventry">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/19396381 |title=Dennis Wise and Kevin Blackwell among Coventry City applicants |work=BBC Sport |date=28 August 2012 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref> He joined up once again with [[Micky Adams]], who had been his manager whilst he was at Leicester. He made an emphatic start, beginning his spell with Coventry by scoring a goal in each of his first three games with the club, including a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the penalty area against [[Hull City]]. On 9 May, out-of-contract Wise was offered a new one-year contract at the [[Ricoh Arena]] but decided it was time to hang up the boots and go back into management. He finished his Coventry career having scored six goals in thirteen appearances.<ref name="Coventry" />

==International career==
Wise made his [[England national football team|England]] debut on 1 May 1991 and scored the game's only goal as England defeated [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] in a [[UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying Group 7|Euro 92 qualifying match]] at the [[İzmir Atatürk Stadium]].<ref name="Sporting Heroes">{{cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football/england/dennis-wise-6117/biography-of-his-england-football-career_a12465/ |title=Dennis Wise |work=Sporting Heroes |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref><ref name="UEFA Euro 92">{{cite web |url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/euro2012/history/season=1992/round=218/match=3028/index.html |title=Turkey 0-1 England |work=UEFA |date=1 May 1991 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Following a good season, Wise was expected to be included in the final squad for the [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996 European Championships]] held in England but just missed out on a place in [[Terry Venables]]' squad.<ref name="ESPNFC" /> Despite leading Chelsea to victories in the [[1998 Football League Cup Final]] and the [[1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final]], Wise was passed over by former Chelsea manager [[Glenn Hoddle]] for a place in the England squad at the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]].<ref name="Factfile" />

He earned a recall to the England team in 1999, after four years away from the national setup, playing in the match against [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]].<ref name="ESPNFC" /> He followed this up with an impressive performance against [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] on 23 February 2000, as the sides drew 0–0 at Wembley.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/654325.stm |title=Heskey shines in Wembley draw |work=BBC Sport |date=23 February 2000 |accessdate=28 September 2014 }}</ref>

==Managerial career==

===Swindon Town===
On 22 May 2006, Wise was appointed [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]] manager on a three-year contract, with ex-Chelsea teammate [[Gustavo Poyet]] as his assistant.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/4989058.stm |title= Swindon confirm Wise as manager |accessdate=2 November 2007 |date=22 May 2006 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> He made an excellent start to the season by winning 6 out of 7 games and topping the [[Football League Two|League Two]] table with 18 points after a 2–0 away win against [[Chester City F.C.|Chester City]] on 1 September. As a result of this tremendous start, Wise was awarded the Manager of the Month award.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/5294972.stm |title= Wise is handed managerial honour |accessdate=2 November 2007 |date=31 August 2006 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref>

===Leeds United===
On 20 September 2006, Wise was linked with the vacant [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] managerial post, following the sacking of [[Kevin Blackwell]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindon.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=31572 |title= Swindon Town – Wise Linked To Leeds United Job |accessdate=2 November 2007 |date=20 September 2006 |work=Vital Football}}</ref> On 21 October, Swindon gave Wise, and his assistant Poyet, permission to speak to Leeds, following their request.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916248,00.html |title=Wise/Poyet in Talks |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=23 October 2006 |work=Swindon Town |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120805193954/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916248,00.html |archivedate=5 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> However, talks broke down between the clubs when they were unable to agree a suitable financial package and on 23 October, Swindon withdrew permission for Leeds to talk with, or seek to appoint, Wise and Poyet, stating that "Dennis and Gus remain valued members of Swindon Town FC as both players and part of the management team". In a bid to keep hold of the pair, the club offered them both significantly improved terms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916582,00.html |title=Club Statement |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=23 October 2006 |work=Swindon Town |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120805155617/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916582,00.html |archivedate=5 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Later that day, Swindon confirmed that they had reached a suitable financial settlement package with Leeds for the services of Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet and that they looked set to join.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916836,00.html |title=Agreement Reached |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=23 October 2006 |work=Swindon Town |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120805171039/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~916836,00.html |archivedate=5 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Following the successful negotiation of acceptable [[Executive compensation|compensation]] in line with the expectations of Swindon Town, on 24 October, the boards of both clubs officially confirmed that Dennis Wise, Gus Poyet and Andrew Beasley had joined Leeds United as manager, assistant manager and goalkeeping coach respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~917277,00.html |title=STFC Statement |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=24 October 2006 |work=Swindon Town |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120805174430/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~917277,00.html |archivedate=5 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6076568.stm |title= Wise takes over as Leeds manager |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=24 October 2006 |work=BBC Sports}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~917276,00.html |title=Joint Statement |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=25 October 2006 |work=Swindon Town |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120805172352/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~917276,00.html |archivedate=5 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

On the evening of his arrival, Wise watched from the stands at [[Elland Road]] as he saw his new side crash to a 3–1 defeat in the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] against fellow [[Football League Championship|Championship]] side [[Southend United F.C.|Southend United]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6072634.stm |title= Leeds 1–3 Southend |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=24 October 2006 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> He received a [[standing ovation]] from fans and in a [[press conference]] unveiling him to the media, he said that he believed that it did not matter that he formerly played for Chelsea. In the interview he stated that his aim was to bring Leeds back into the [[Premier League|Premiership]]. Wise took over with the club 2nd from bottom of the championship and in a difficult financial position.

Wise's first game in charge came 4 days later, ironically against Southend at Elland Road again, though this time it was a league fixture and Leeds won the game 2–0. However, they continued to struggle for the remainder of the season under Wise and relegation was confirmed on 4 May 2007 with only one game remaining, when the [[Football League]] gave the club a 10-point penalty for going into [[administration (insolvency)|administration]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6625751.stm |title= Relegated Leeds in administration |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=4 May 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> Leeds finished bottom of the league and they were relegated into [[Football League One|League One]] for the first time in their history. Nonetheless, chairman [[Ken Bates]] retained Wise for the [[2007-08 in English football|2007–08]] season.

On 4 August, Leeds were granted their [[golden share]], but they were given another penalty, this time 15 points, after administrators [[KPMG]] refused to resurrect the [[Company Voluntary Arrangement|CVA]] for the 'old' Leeds United company.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6920103.stm |title= Leeds hit with 15-point penalty |accessdate=2 November 2007 |date=4 August 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> Despite this, they made an excellent start, winning their first 7 league games and Wise was named as [[Football League One Manager of the Month|manager of the month]] for both August and September.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6970526.stm |title= Leeds boss wins prize for August |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=30 August 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/7028103.stm |title= Manager Wise wins monthly prize |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=4 October 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> However, on 29 October 2007, Poyet left Leeds to become [[Juande Ramos]]'s assistant at [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/7064558.stm |title= Spurs pick Poyet to assist Ramos |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=29 October 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> Three days later, Wise's ex-manager at Wimbledon, Dave Bassett, became his number two.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/7072624.stm |title= Bassett named as Leeds assistant |accessdate=13 January 2008 |date=1 November 2007 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> The partnership did not start well and Leeds finally lost their unbeaten record, losing 3–1 to [[Carlisle United F.C.|Carlisle United]] at [[Brunton Park]] on 3 November.

Leeds briefly topped the table on [[Boxing Day]], after drawing 1–1 in an early kick-off against [[Hartlepool United F.C.|Hartlepool United]] at the [[Victoria Ground]] and they went into 2008 3rd in the league.
Wise left the club on 28 January 2008 in a surprise move to take up a role at [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]], his last game in charge being a 1–1 draw against [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] at [[Kenilworth Road]] on 26 January.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7215342.stm |title= Wise gets powerful Newcastle role |accessdate=29 January 2008 |date=29 January 2008 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/7197691.stm |title= Luton 1–1 Leeds |accessdate=29 January 2008 |date=29 January 2008 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref>

==Executive roles==

===Newcastle United===
On 29 January 2008 [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] announced that Wise would be joining the club as Executive Director (Football),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1227633,00.html|title=Club Confirms Senior Appointments|publisher=Newcastle United F.C.|accessdate=29 January 2008|date=29 January 2008|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080130043945/http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10278~1227633%2C00.html|archivedate=30 January 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref> an advisor to the board on footballing matters, reporting directly to the club chairman [[Chris Mort]]. Although speculated to be in the role of [[Director of Football]] or [[General Manager]], the job is thought to be more restricted, involving transfers, scouting and youth development,<ref name="Wise quits Leeds for Magpies role">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7213096.stm |title= Wise quits Leeds for Magpies role |accessdate=28 January 2008 |date=28 January 2008 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> alongside simultaneous appointment of [[Tony Jimenez]] as Vice President (Player Recruitment) and [[Jeff Vetere]] as Technical Co-ordinator, following the earlier shock return of first team manager [[Kevin Keegan]]. Keegan had previously expressed disquiet with the concept of a [[Director of Football]], both in commenting about the previous Newcastle manager [[Sam Allardyce]], and latterly the proposition of Newcastle owner [[Mike Ashley (businessman)|Mike Ashley]] appointing one during his tenure at the club.

Wise's role, as stated by Ashley, was to be a '"football-related" executive director'.<ref name=Keegan>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7593683.stm |title= Keegan resigns as Newcastle boss |accessdate=13 September 2008 |date=4 September 2008 |publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref> In a February 2008 interview, Christopher Mort revealed that Newcastle had "heard on the grapevine" that Wise was considering a "move upstairs".<ref name=themag224>The Mag Fanzine Issue 224 – 23 February 2008, Interview with Newcastle United chairman Chris Mort, p21-22</ref> Wise was selected as his relative youth and being a "bundle of energy" suited the new role that would involve "travelling around Europe and further afield".<ref name=themag224/> Wise, with Vetere, was tasked with helping identify young players for approval by first team manager Kevin Keegan.<ref name=themag224/> Wise's role would also entail him helping develop the academy.<ref name=themag224/>

The departure of Keegan from the club, on 4 September, saw Wise, Jimenez (who left the club on 9 October) and club owner Ashley come under mounting pressure from the club's supporters to quit.
