Wise leaves Leeds for Newcastle
Wise, a key member of the Wimbledon "Crazy Gang" who won the FA Cup in 1988, took over at Leeds from Kevin Blackwell in October 2006 but could not prevent the club being relegated to the third tier of English football for the first time. However, he has won the fans over by guiding Leeds to fifth in the table despite starting with a 15-point deficit after they went into administration at the end of last season. Last October, Wise's assistant Gus Poyet left Leeds to become Juande Ramos's number two at Tottenham Hotspur. (Writing by Mitch Phillips, editing by Alison Wildey) .
Two more leave after Merrill Lynch writedowns
The bank confirmed late last night that Mr Fakahany, who oversaw bond risk management between March 2005 and May 2007, would step down on Friday. John Thain, who in December replaced Stan O’Neal, the first leading Wall Street chief executive to resign because of the credit crunch, has been tightening Merrill’s risk management as he seeks to restore the bank’s reputation and to minimise further losses. Mr Gibson was director of research for collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), the complex pools of bonds and other mortgage-backed securities that have accounted for the bulk of the industry’s sub-prime losses. .
