It's been revealed that Dave Bassett will succeed Gus Poyet as the new Leeds number two, at least until the end of the season. Personally, i aren't Bassett's biggest fan and would have preferred someone a hell of alot younger, but he's done a decent job in managing lower league clubs and will bring a little humour to the Elland Road press conferences if nothing else.
Bassett originally signed Wise to play for Wimbledons notorious "Crazy Gang" when he was just 18 years old, and the pair have remained close ever since, with Bassett helping Dennis out a few years back at Swindon in a similar role.
The deal will see Bassett in the assistants role uptil the end of the current season, at which point i'm expecting Alan Thompson - who's currently learning his coaching badges - to take the number two spot, having worked alongside Dennis at the weekend.
Bassett will need to bond with the players as quickly as possible, before Dennis' 3 match touchline ban comes into effect.
