Leeds clear to talk to Wise

Leeds have been given permission to ask Swindon manager Dennis Wise and his assistant Gustavo Poyet to take over at Elland Road.

The Yorkshire club, beaten 5-1 by Luton at the weekend, have been under the control of caretaker manager John Carver since Kevin Blackwell was sacked last month.

Wise and Poyet signed three-year contracts at Swindon in May but release clauses allow them to talk to clubs from the Premiership and the Championship.
