Manager Dennis Wise said a Leeds United player who gave opponents Crystal Palace his team lineup hours before Saturday's second division match at Elland Road would never play for the Yorkshire club again

"It was a fantastic result for us but unfortunately I'm very disappointed," former England midfielder Wise told a post-match news conference after the bottom club's 2-1 win over Palace.

"One player gave my team to the opposition at my football club and I found that out. It disappoints me immensely and he won't be playing for this football club again.

"The player in question said a couple of other things and it's not acceptable. I found this out at about 1pm.

"I don't want to go into it any more."


* Gus Hiddink has said that he is not interested in the Chelsea job:

"I have definitely not spoken to Roman Abramovich about moving to Chelsea this summer. I am coach of the Russian national team and will continue in that job until the summer of 2008.

"I am satisfied with my current job and very busy at the moment. I have other things to concentrate on. How do you think it would go down if I were to leave this job after a year and join Chelsea?"
