As I predicted only two days ago, Martin Jol has now parted company with struggling Tottenham Hotspur after seemingly losing the dressing room, and guiding the London club into the dark depths of the relegation zone.
Jol spent millions on new players during his spell at Tottenham, and has gone from fans hero to villain almost overnight.
Tottenham are set to replace Jol with Sevilla coach, Juande Ramos, but the news that will worry Leeds fans is the rumour that former player, and now Leeds United assistant manager, Gus Poyet will take the role as Ramos' number two!
The suprising twist in the tale may well see the formidable Wise and Poyet partnership, which has been together from their days at Swindon finally broken. More worrying is the effect this may have on Leeds United, and Dennis Wise. Losing your right-hand man is not an easy thing to deal with in the world of football, and a good replacement isn't going to be easily found. Afterall, Wise and Poyet are not just friends at work, but close friends outside it too.
Meanwhile, Gary McAllister has told Sky Sports how he would have been "very interested" in the Leeds United job last year, but was never approached by Ken Bates, despite being a favourite with the fans and bookies. If Gus does decide to leave for Tottenham, which none of us could really blame him for, maybe Dennis could give Mac a call?
