We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
It's official - Dennis Wise will leave Elland Road today to join Kevin Keegan at Newcastle Utd. I was never a huge Wise fan, but I have to admit that he and Gus Poyet had formed a solid fighting unit this season. The problem is that it's hard to hang on to successful people at our level. So, first we lost Poyet to Spurs and now Wisey to Newcastle. Sad days at Leeds, indeed.

A very strange choice!!
What is going to happen at Elland Road? Any news on a successor? Ince would be a good choice. He may be going to Sotton.
How about the FA Cup!!!
MAN UTD VS ARSENAL
CHELSEA VS Huddersfield. Lucky buggers!!!
Apparently Dave 'Bloody' Bassett is the top choice...sigh....
I'd take the Guvnor in a heartbeat.
Very interesting draw. Only six Premier League clubs left and you two lot get drawn together. Who would have dreamt it?
Bassett!!! Not good! He was the assistant, right?
Did you see this coming? What relationship does Wise have with KK?
Yep, he stepped in to replace Gus when he skipped to Shite Fart Lane. And, if memory serves, he used to be the boss at the Blades. Not good is right.
I did see it coming; it's been all the chatter for the past week since King Kev took over. I don't think they have any relationship at all. Apparently there is some temptation in moving to a club that hasn't won anything since 1953.
Just read on the internet that KK had nothing to do with it and is pretty pissed!!
Wisey has tripled his salary and is going to have a London office job and is in charge of buying players.
YIKES!!!
Wisey's probably taken too steep a step up. I don't know who could solve 'Toon's issues, but I predict it's not the cheeky chappie.
Leeds needs to send out a raiding party and grab Gary Speed. I keep thinking that he's one of your old boys that would be able to perform in League One.
Bassett has left the club as well
Tony just emailed me and said that it looks like Gary McAllister is going to get the job.
Good News?
Confirmed

Yes, indeed. I like it. Gary's a former skipper and left the club on good terms. He should do well.
That is good. McAllister should be experienced enough to keep the momentum up.
You think King Kev just wanted Wisey around when he heard that GBartonH was being bailed out of stir?
Anyone following the footer?

Milner should have done better to put in Smith. Over hit.
