Hess rejects Bees talk

Dover Athletic player-manager Andy Hessenthaler has distanced himself from press reports suggesting he has expressed an interest in the managerial vacancy at Brentford.
The League Two side are looking for a new manager after Terry Butcher parted company with them earlier this week, although Andy Scott has taken temporary charge of first-team affairs.
Ex-Gillingham boss Hessenthaler told Dover's official website: "The story's rubbish.
"I was interviewed at Brentford a year-and-a-half ago and Leroy (Rosenior) got the post. I've not spoken to the club since and not had any burning ambition to manage there once I heard Terry left this week.
"Some journalists like to play guessing games and the Daily Mail have obviously thrown my name into the mix.
"I'm enjoying my time at Dover and want to get the club back into the Blue Square Premier in the next few years. That's my ambition."
Hessenthaler has guided Dover four points clear at the top of the Ryman First Division.
