TAKEN FROM A FORUM: It was posted by someone who has connections in the club (friends) but wouldnt reveal who they were and what they did:
I was talking to my mate who is involved in the club who i speak to at most of the games before hand (im not revealing who he is or what he does at Leeds United - it wouldnt be right of me) and he told me it all kicked off on Wednesday morning. As you may or may not know, ex Leeds United coach Alan Sutton held a charity raising night at the exhibiton centre over the road from Elland Road to celebrate Gary's 16 years at the club (it was fantastic well worth the 50 notes ). In the morning at Thorp Arch Dennis Wise called an emergency meeting with all the staff and the players who were due to attend the "doo" that Wednesday. He stood Gary Kelly at the front of the room and demanded to know why all of his players were going to Gary's night, also labelling him a "parasite" sponging £28,000 a week off the club, and blaming Kells for the position we are in now financially - testiment to Gary he simply laughed it off and walked out of the room - the right attitude to take. He said that the reason Kells was not playing was because he refused to take a pay cut when Mr Bates called him over to Monacco in November 2006 and refused to take the bonus clause out of his contract. Well the **** hit the fan big time! David Healy was furious with Wise, disgusted by his actions to try and be-little Kells on the eve of his celebrations, he also told Dennis he was the captain and he would make sure every single player attended the night (which they all did to be fair apart from Shaun Derry?? - strange) this being the reason Healy was dropped yesterday. Also Richard Cresswell had been a victim earlier in the week for his shirt antics in the Ipswich game. If you dont remember Cress had on his shirt KELLY 2 LEGEND, this didnt settle well with Wise, and he told him if Tom Elliot was fully fit he would not play another game for Leeds United. When i was speaking to my mate yesterday who travelled down with the team Saturday, he said the atmosphere in the camp was silent, many of the players refusing to interact with Dennis and instead communicating with Gus. All this **** needs sorting otherwise we are up **** creek next season!! also forgot to mention, Wise had the players out on the pitch after the game on Sunday telling the players who will be staying and who will not be staying - i know this because Ian Moore rang Adam Pope and Eddie Gray on BBC Radio Leeds to tell them the situation that he was not chosen to stay and he thanked all the Leeds fans for their support during his time at the club! Make of it what you like ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Before I start I'm not going to grass up my sources so if you don't want to believe this then turn away NOW. The story posted elswhere about the bust up last Wednesday is TRUE. One of my sources has confirmed this. All the players kicked off against Wise and he's blown it with anyone who might want to stay next season. With regards to this it's ok for Wise to hassle Kelly about not taking a wage cut but as my wife has just rightly pointed out Wise took responsibility for our relegation in the media last week. Will little Dennis take a pay cut next season? I think not. As for Nicholls; the whole deal with Kelly was that he WANTED to play for most of the season. Wise was acting the big I am and saying no. Nicholls, as Captain fronted to Wise that he wanted Kelly back in the team as we needed him. Next thing Wise is on the phone to QPR offering Nicholls on loan. The whole Luton thing was crap, it was Wise's petulant get out clause. Molegate was a farce. One of our players was in the CP tem hotel the night before the match. He mentioned that Thompson would be missing from the team. That was the extent of molegate. Again Wise shot his mouth off without establishing the facts. Why do you think he quickly stopped talking about it. Now that Stack, who was Wise's insode with the squad, has gone back to to his club Wise is going to have a tough time working any established players next season. ______________________________________________________ Still on dial-up?
