Greg Clarke of LCFC plc has decided to take on the Football League over the Dennis Wise sorry saga.

With news coming out of the training camp that Callum Davidson will demand a transfer if Wise is reinstated, the City plc Chairman has made his strongest comments yet against the authorities and their mad decision, implying that City are willing to see the Football League in court over it.

Football Chairman Martin george is staying stum until after the appeal on Wednesday.

Clarke was speaking to radio 5 live and said,

"The reason I'm jumping up and down now is that I think it's outrageous that people who assault their team-mates and break their bones get the same fine as someone who's caught having a crafty half of lager when they shouldn't do.

"The club itself has tried to uphold reasonable standards over the years and we found ourselves in a position where one of our players had assaulted another player - and this wasn't handbags at 10 paces on the training ground, this was a premeditated assault which resulted in broken bones.

"In any other industry that I've worked in, that would be immediate dismissal, so we sacked him.''

"There's no support from within the football team for having him back, there's no support from within the fan base for having him back and there's no support from within the board for having him back. I don't think Dennis Wise wants to come back to Leicester City, I know Leicester City doesn't want Dennis Wise back.

A source in the club apparently reported today that there has been a backlash among the players, many of whom are angry their own union can have agreed to represent someone who struck a colleague. Some have even threatened to resign from the PFA.

Here's some of what the City fans have been sending in and posting on FFS....

"The F.A. inall it's glory asks before the World Cup for the Government to show its teeth in regard to the hooligan element following the National side and it's implications for Football in general and gets a positive responce. Now for reasons inexplecable to me it turns itself on it's head with it's Disciplinary panels verdict on D. Wise now as far as I am concerned this man is a hooligan with a track record, and should be treated accordingly any person who shows this kind of behavior in any other walk of life gets his just desserts so why is Football differant, Plus as far as I see it the verdict was pre-judged by the statement on T.V. by Earle that this was not a sackable offence then low and behold this man is on the panel of Judges at the tribunal. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FARCE AND DOES FOOTBALL NO GOOD AT ALL BEING SEEN IN THIS LIGHT TO SIDE WITH HOOLIGANISM"

I cannot believe the FA's decision on the sacking of Denis Wise, in any other job in the whole if the UK he would be sacked immediately, infact he should be up for GBH and put in prison for violent conduct with previous convictions, is the FA mad!

What about the club instructing Wise to attend all home games in a "meet and greet" capacity for all City fans, then to walk around the pitch at Filbert Way from 1 to 3 as a sort of deputy to Birchenall,as well as at half-times. Every time he refuses - deduct 2 weeks' salary. And if he does not refuse the consequences could of some interest to observe.

"What a surprise! One has been ex - Wimbledon team mate, a fat wan*ker of an ex Forrest manager and a fat twat of an ex high court judge spent six hours to screw our club! What the fu*k is this internal appeals panel system about. I tell you, I have spent 23 years in Personnel Management and no employment tribunal in the country would have overturned City's decision to sack the little tu*d! How on earth can they say the offence wasn't serious enough to terminate his contract? In any other industry he would be out and unemployable. Callum should have pressed criminal charges. So the club has appealed. So fu**ing what. The appeal will probably be heard by Bates, Vinnie Jones and another fat ex judge. What's the point eh? We all know what will happen. We will have to pay the little sh*t e off his £3 milliion, go bust and sink out of sight. How the f*ck are we supposed to reinstate a player who noone will play with! Christ I could smash this bloody computer I am so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"Open letter to the Football League -
I am astounded at your arbitration decision today to insist that Dennis Wise is re-instated as a Leicester City player. As a result, you probably just killed one of your clubs, and who knows, probably set the seeds for the destruction of your league as we know it.

"I know its been a bad week for Leicester City financially but its not just about the money. Its about a club's authority to sack a player for gross misconduct. Where are your principles? I know if, as a professional Engineer I hit someone, let alone broke their cheek bone while on Company business I would be sacked immediately, and rightly so.There would be no way back and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on in an unfair dismissal tribunal. In the real world, people get sacked for mildly offensive non business e-mails. In Scotland a player (Berti) was recently sacked for spitting at one of his own team during a game. So why is Wise any different? It can hardly be that he has a previously unblemished record. It would be hard to find a nastier unsporting player, and his off the field behaviour is littered with violent incidents.

"But of course the tribunal was stacked in Wise's favour. Ex players (isn't Robbie Earle ex-Wimbledon, like Wise?), a judge and Gordon Taylor. Its a shame the PFA can not give the same support to Callum Davidson. After all, he's the one with the double fracture of his cheek.

"What message is this sending out to the players, the fans and the kids hoping to make it as a professional footballer one day?

"Just how can Wise possibly play for Leicester again? His position is completely untenable. If Wise dares to show his face at Leicester again, what's to stop each player from beating him black and blue? Will the other players want to play with him? Well worth the derisory two weeks wages fine you seem to think is appropriate for punching and seriously injuring a workmate. Most people I know don't earn that much in a year, but on £30000+ a week its hardly going to hurt Wise is it? And you fine Robbie Savage £10000 for using a referee's toilet facilities. Come on. Where's the parity in your thinking?

"So you've probably managed to destroy our football club, for the sake of one selfish, violent, over-paid journeyman and his greedy agent. What about football in General? Well the Premiership seems to have set a precedent by doing nothing about Roy Keane's admission of gross intent on Haarland so maybe its not surprising you see nothing wrong with Wise punching and injuring a fellow professional after a card game on a pre-season tour. But judging by the horrified reaction of Leicester fans and other fans on website message boards, the majority will not agree with you.

"Frankly, unjust decisions like this make us very angry.How long before the fans have had enough, see through the greed of the players and the incompetence, ineptness of their governing bodies and reject football?

After all, its only a game - or used to be once.
Adrian Wright"
