Would he really go to a club that seems as strapped for cash as us ?

I don't know. I suppose it depends how pursuasive Ken Bates is.

I'm fearing a repeat on the Roy Evans saga here ...

GWR and are now reporting that Wise has been given permission to talk to Leeds.

At 20 past the hour, not at 11?  Is this yet more bullshit?

Alan Curbishley replaced Dennis Wise as the favourite to become the next Leeds United manager within half an hour of the book being opened, Ladbrokes said last night.

The Magic Sign had the former Charlton boss at 8/1 in their first show with Swindon Town's Wise as the 2/1 jolly.

But Curbs is now 7/2 and the combative midfielder out to 4/1, alongside former Stamford Bridge manager Glenn Hoddle.

The other major market mover has been Claudio Ranieri who was initially priced up at 33/1 before being cut to 20/1 and then 10/1.

Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "We went up with 8/1 and got knocked over, pure and simple. The phones haven't stopped ringing.

"The punters are also very keen on the Chelsea connection and Ranieri is being heavily punted. A certain amount of tinkering has been needed...."

What the hell do Ladbrokes know, I'm with GWR on this one   :wink:

ranieri's a good shout, he's out of work isn't he? surely leeds would go for someone for whom they wouldn't have to pay any compensation for?

I would think so juddie, but you can never be sure.  Would be interesting to see Wises reaction should they approach him, after his public slating of O'Hanlon.

Wise probably has a clause in his contract out in there by Bob Holt or Sandy Gray stating

"If any other football league club comes in for Dennis Wise, will we not stand in his way, he will be free to leave.  Swindon Town Football Club will not be due any compensation but Swindon Town FC will help with any removal costs for Dennis and his family and promise to buy him a five bedroom home in the surrounding area of his new football club".

Funny and true janaage.  Would probably also include a clause allowing him to take Gus, any players he thinks could make it in the championship (If he took any, he would be wrong), the floodlights, the magic roundabout and the kitchen sink.

Some bloke in the works canteen just told me that there's a press conference this afternnon where Ince will be revealed as Wise's succesor  :|

Has this fella got any evidence to back this up, or was he just bored in the queue for the chips?

It's pure unadulterated bs. I've just spoken to someone (NOT a club employee/director etc) who's at the training ground and Dennis was about four foot away from him. And he's been there all morning, erm, training the players. These wild cycles of hype of media rumours feeding off internet rumours feeding off the first lot of media rumours etc are not helping the situation.

I assume it's BS cos he looked a little bit simple.

If it is true though you heard it here first  :wink:

FUCK!  :|  :(  :shock:

hey, only passing on what I hear! that's what forums are here for, to discuss such things. thanks for clearing it up P Diddy...

Sorry juddie wasn't referring to you so much as some of the s**t-stirrers who've been on this and other forums of late (you know who you are son of Homer) and the kind of shoddy journalism (yes that's you GWR) that will just report any old drivel rumour, thus giving it some kind of "it's been on the radio/in the Sun/on the telly so it must be true" credibility.

And speaking of shoddy journalism, how's life at Prawn Cocktail News these days?  :D

ha ha, same old same old mate. Still, Sir Alex is no Kingy is he...

Why does he not think he's nearly as good as Arsene Wenger then?

GWR and shoddy journalism? How could this be true? They don't have any journos to make any shoddy journo stories. I reckon they've got the cleaner doing the news.

Wise is going I know this for fact.

How ?

Could be any time between 1 hour and 20 years from now.

if he isn't gone by 5 o clock ill be happy  :D

well like kingy he rants and raves on the phone, but he's a bit more media trained than kingy was!!

My dog's more media trained than Kingy was. Although to be fair, I'd say it's neck and neck on house-training!

bless him, Kingy loves swindon - just didn't really know what to say at certain times. But this opens up a whole new (or old) debate - he's like marmite, you love him or hate him!

im expecting Wise and Poyet to join Leeds tomorrow

im not it'll be next week after Wycombe if it happens at all
