Leaks United update

Football - After all that posturing and ranting, it seems that Dennis Wise's assertion that the 'Leeds United leak suspect' would never play for Leeds again, was slightly ahead of its time. Leeds Chief executive Shaun Harvey has suggested the player responsible for leaking their team line-up to Crystal Palace before Saturday's game may not be sacked after all as they continue to hunt for the culprit. Manager Dennis Wise vowed that the player would never play for the club again in a furious post-match outburst following Leeds' 2-1 win, but no player has owned up as yet despite several appeals from the manager. The club have now decided to soften their stance, saying a final decision on punishment would depend on the context of the culprit's actions. Harvey confirmed it was Palace manager Peter Taylor who had informed Wise that Leeds team news had been passed on to him before the game on Saturday. Taylor has since accused Wise of "badly over-reacting", while Palace chairman Simon Jordan claimed the whole episode illustrated that the former Wimbledon and Chelsea midfielder had no control over the Elland Road dressing room. What a surprise. The big question now is how much of a berk had Wise made of himself in the eyes of his own players? He might have been attempting to uphold a strongly held principle but the old addage of 'Act in haste, repent at leisure' springs to mind. The trial continues - it may not have any witnesses or evidence but it does have the benefit of an enormous, uninformed jury aided high on hearsay, conjecture and second hand information.
