Some Leeds United fans are so convinced the club will be relegated, they want manager Dennis Wise to start thinking about rebuilding for next season.

Supporters' Club chairman Ray Fell said: "No one will quite give up hope until it is certain we are going down but there are some fans who are beginning to say it's time to take it on the chin and look to the future.

"We are all perplexed at the turmoil at the club. Nothing is going right off the pitch and we don't look like winning a game on it."

Recently, Leeds have had an unidentified mole' leaking team news to an opponent and captain Kevin Nicholls wishing to leave the club to return to fellow relegation strugglers Luton, who Leeds next meet.

Meanwhile, chairman Ken Bates has had to apologise to former chairman Leslie Silver, who was upset because Bates had claimed to be the only director in recent years not to take money out of the club.
