Wise was never accepted at Leeds, like Bates the Chelsea connection stuck with them.
Todays Leeds fans might hate Scum but for fans of my generation the real hatred and rivalry was always Chelsea. Fulham Broadway tube station holds some very vivid memories of my youth.
While ever they are winning that connection will be tolerated but if it goes tits up the crowd will turn on Bates just like they turned on Wise in the last few games.
Wises big mistake was bringing Dave Bassett in when Poyet left. Since then the wheels have fallen of the charabanc.
