Out of work, sat twiddling his thumbs, you would have thought Newcastle target Didier Deschamps would jump at the chance to manage (errrr ... be Mike Ashley's puppet) on Tyneside.

But, according to the Chronicle ... Newcastle could face a fight.

With favourite Gus Poyet ... Wise's right-hand man at Swindon and Leeds ... and Deschamps ... Wise's old buddy ... it seems obvious that Dennis 'The Little Shit' Wise is picking the next Toon boss!
 
Didier Deschamps is said to be second favourite to Gus Poyet for the Toon job, and the former Juventus and Monaco boss was strongly fancied to replace Sam Allardyce at St James' Park in January before Kevin Keegan's shock return to the club.
