A Leeds spokesperson would only confirm that Wise will be in charge of the team for Tuesday's game at Southend. </p> Wise, 41, who played for England under Keegan, has guided Leeds into play-off contention in League One despite them starting the season on minus 15 points. </p> That penalty followed their going into administration and being relegated, and money remains tight at Elland Road. </p> </p> </p> </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
