In the surprise career move, Wise had been attributed as having lost interest in direct football management since the loss of his assistant Gus Poyet to Tottenham Hotspur, and considered the executive position at Newcastle an opportunity "he had to take"^[29].

In a February 2008 interview, Christopher Mort revealed that Newcastle had "heard on the grapevine" that Wise was considering a "move upstairs"^[2].
