Wise vows to fight on

Leeds United boss Dennis Wise claims the experiences of last season have made him more determined to turn around the fortunes of the ailing club.
The Whites dropped into the third tier of English football for the first time in their history last season and were plunged into further crisis in May when they were placed in administration.
But rather than walk away from Elland Road, Wise wants to stay at the helm and return Leeds to the big time.
"Last season was the toughest season I've ever had," he told the club's official website.
"I was disappointed with the way that certain things went, but it's dead and buried now and out of the way.
"It didn't take its toll on me. I'm not sitting on the floor - I'm not that type of person. You dust yourself down and get on with it.
"There's a lot of new things going to happen at this club and we're going to make sure they do.
"I'm sure players will be coming and going, and it's a new start for the club.
"What happens is very important to all of us. It's a fantastic club with a fantastic support."
