Cascarino not so Wise

I have no objection to ex-footballers writing about football per se, but stuff like this makes you wonder why some of them get paid.

If you're in his camp, you love him, if you're on the outside, the chances are you hate him. That's how it's always been for Dennis Wise and he couldn't care less.

I think perhaps Calum Davidson may disagree with the start of this article, although of course it would have been difficult for him to voice those concerns after 20th July 2002 when his then team mate Dennis Wise broke his jaw on a pre-season tour of Finland. Davidson you may remember tried to break up a fight between rat face and another team mate.

Why anyone would want to break it up when they could've joined in the shoeing on Wise is another matter entirely.

You'll rarely meet anyone as brave or as thick-skinned.

A man who uses violence to achieve his goals is a coward. Wise is such a man. I wouldn't be suprised if Keegan quit due to Wise biting his nose off or spitting on him during a board meeting...

MA: So Kevin have you thought of any key transfer targets over the Summer?
KK: Well the targets for me to take this club forward need to be truly world class. Frank Lampard, Ronaldinho for starters then...
DW: (jumps on the table of the boardroom in Gollum-esque fashion, coughs up a big greenie and launches at KK) You shall not have the precious. (turns to MA) Take Xisco and Danny Guthrie instead master.

I recall when my name was booed by Chelsea fans when it was announced to the crowd. It left me feeling, well, about as big as Dennis. But he ran over from 30 yards away to tell me: “They really hate you, don't they!” Cheers.

And I quote: "If you're in his camp, you love him". If I was in Cascarino's shoes here I would have waited until after the game and then locked Wise in a room with a bunch of irate taxi drivers.

Another time at Chelsea, he stuck two fingers up at his own supporters when they jeered him.

And I quote: "If you're in his camp, you love him".

Dennis walked away from the Millwall job because he wanted transfer funds to push for promotion and the board wouldn't give him the money. Sounds similar to Keegan, but the difference is that if he doesn't get what he wants, Dennis will roll up his sleeves and prepare for battle. He'd have no sympathy for the sort of cry-baby, toys-out-of-the-pram attitude that Keegan has been often accused of.

What the fuck is this paragraph all about. Wise walked away from Millwall when he didn't get what he wanted but he will roll his sleeves up if he doesn't get what he wants?
No he won't you thick "Irish" bastard you just said so in the last fucking sentence. YOU fucking said it yourself! Monumentally stupid writing.
I can't figure out if he is really just that thick or if he was drunk when he wrote this article, either way it's horrible.

Also: Dennis Wise has quit Millwall, Swindon and Leeds Utd manager jobs and now has gone behind the scenes at Newcastle. What a battler!

Wise sums up all that is wrong in football today. He is a convicted criminal without any loyalty to team mates or employers and yet people continue to employ him. I cannot for the life of me figure out why but perhaps it is because people like Cascarino exists that people like Wise still hold positions of power at football clubs.
