Wise Wants Pay Cut
Quote:
Dennis Wise offered to take a pay cut at Leeds following their relegation.
The former Chelsea player failed to keep the Whites in the Championship last season after taking over from Kevin Blackwell and he offered to operate on a reduced salary.
Leeds have been forced to make a number of redundancies following relegation but are expected to be taken out of administration when creditors agree at a meeting today for Ken Bates to buy the club back.
Bates told the Daily Mirror: "Dennis Wise has volunteered to take a pay cut, which I think must be a first in the history of football. He is leading by example."
Wise has been suspended from making signings until Leeds come out of administration and Bates added: "Other clubs have been able to sign players since May 7 and, in fact, some players we wanted have already been signed.
"But Dennis has had a lot of discussions with players. I have now sent Dennis and Gus Poyet away on holiday and by the time we'll be able to trade again, they will be back."
