Anyone believe a word Wise had to say?

Wise speaks

Sunday saw SkySports continue their one-eyed coverage of the NUFC/Kevin Keegan litigation, as the club's former Executive Director (football) Dennis Wise appeared on punditry duties and spoke about his time @ SJP:

Wise had appeared in a similar role earlier in the week, backing Chris Hughton to be given the United job on a permanent basis.

And interviewed by Richard Keys on Sunday, Wise took the opportunity to repeat previous propaganda from the Ashley camp - as well as offer a counter view to the claims made in Kevin Keegan's post-verdict statement.

Most notably, Wise claimed that a settlement offer was made to KK in advance of the tribunal:

"There was an offer put in by Mike I believe, and it was probably more than what Kevin got.....to settle it, yes....for more than the two million yes."

He also reinforced the line about the inflated sums that KK's legal team had gone looking for:

"Mike was worried....when someone is suing you for £26m..."

And the A word almost inevitably made an appearance when Wise was asked what would have happened to his former employers had KK received a larger award:

"Maybe administration"

As for his own relations with KK, Wise ventured that:

"It was a difficult situation."

Wise also confirming that Ashley sacked him when Alan Shearer was brought in as Newcastle manager, but still referred to the club owner constantly as "Mike" and appeared ultra-sympathetic to him.

That's hardly the stance of a disgruntled former employee, but there again being paid to pick out signings by watching YouTube is hardly the most taxing of roles....

Wise attempted to downplay the impact of the Nacho Gonzalez deal, claiming that it was for the greater good:

"The long-term idea of the relationship (with two agents) was we were going to get first option on the best South American kids.

"That was important to Newcastle. Mike knew everything about it. He was fine with it. Every deal that went through the football club he knew. It's his money and no one else's. It was all done the right way."

When Wise was asked for his opinion of what Mike Ashley's next move at SJP would be:

"I think he will hold onto the club until they are promoted. I think they'll go up this year, I genuinely hope they do, then Mike will take a decision next summer."

So, still no mention of the other signings of interest that took place, such as Xisco and Fabio Zamblera - or indeed why the list of transfer targets KK prepared including the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger wasn't acted upon.

After Sky's coverage of the tribunal verdict when they appeared to do little more than push the club line, their cozy chats with Wise look to be more of the same thing.

It's little wonder that the club feel no need to comment on the matter, when others are happy to do it for them.

If that's true the links to the South American young players could have been good. Not that I trust a word ferret face says.
