Daily Mail bekrefter saken nå

Mulig det! En eller annen kilde i tillegg til Mail - som er sterke på fotball-dekninga si, men som ikke alltid er like etterrettelig.

Fra dagens The Sun:

RAY WILKINS is set for a return to management after being offered the job as Dennis Wise’s assistant at Leeds.
Wilkins worked with Wise at Millwall and may move in the wake of Gus Poyet’s switch to Tottenham.

Wise Chooses 'Harry'
Dennis Wise has gone back to his 'Crazy Gang' days at Wimbledon to recruit former boss Dave 'Harry' Bassett as his new assistant at Leeds. 
Wise saw Gus Poyet join up with Spurs this week and immediately phoned Bassett, 63, to ask if he would give his experience of 25 years in football management to the Whites' cause in League One. 
Bassett agreed to take on the role until the end of the season and will join up with the team tomorrow ahead of Saturday's trip to leaders Carlisle.
Bassett signed Wise as an 18-year-old for Wimbledon in 1985 and the two have remained close since.
The former Crystal Palace, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest, Barnsley and Leicester City manager briefly helped Wise out at Millwall three seasons ago.

'Arry 'elps Den
Dennis Wise has made a surprise choice as his replacement assistant at Leeds United. He has stepped back to the start of his playing career to bring in his former Wimbledon boss Dave 'Arry Bassett to replace Gus Poyet until the end of the season.
Dave Bassett is now 63 and has a wealth of lower division football management experience to draw upon; nearly 1000 games as a manager!
He has also managed Crystal Palace (for just four days), Watford, local Leeds United rivals Sheffield United (for eight years), current League One rivals Nottingham Forest, Barnsley, Leicester City and was last in charge at a club just under two years ago when he temporarily managed Southampton for three games. Despite his later travels he was never more successful than in his first job at Wimbledon (now MK Dons).
It is not the first time Wise has called upon Dave Bassett to give him support, he did so three years ago at Millwall.

Dave Bassett bound for Leeds United

DAVE BASSETT was today on the brink of becoming Leeds United's new assistant manager.
The 63-year-old has been identified as Leeds' first-choice replacement for Gustavo Poyet, and United were working today to reach a deal which would bring Bassett to Elland Road for the rest of this season.

Dennis Wise had other alternatives available to him - notably Ray Wilkins, his managerial colleague at Millwall - but he has turned instead to the man who launched his playing career at Wimbledon back in 1985.
Ex-Wimbledon boss Bassett signed Wise from Southampton when the midfielder was 18 years of age, and a five-year stint at Plough Lane was the making of Wise, who went on to join Chelsea for £1.6million in 1990.
Bassett also worked with Wise at Leicester six years ago, and the pair were reunited briefly as joint-caretakers of Southampton in 2005 following Harry Redknapp's exit from St Mary's.
They are now poised to come together for a fourth time as Leeds prepare for life after Poyet, who stepped down as assistant at Elland Road to take up the position of first-team coach with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday.
United were in no urgent rush to fill the vacancy, but Wise has singled out Bassett as his favoured candidate and it seemed likely today that his long-time mentor would accept the opportunity to work with Leeds.
Bassett could be in place in time for Saturday's visit to Carlisle, but of greater concern to Wise was securing a number two before his three-match touchline ban begins ahead of United's FA Cup first-round tie at Hereford United on November 9.
Wise will also watch from the stands during the
Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Bury and the forthcoming league match at home to his former club Swindon Town, and Poyet's departure was threatening to leave Leeds short of numbers in the dug-out next month.
Alan Thompson acted as Wise's assistant against Millwall last weekend but was not a candidate to assume the role permanently, and Bassett's arrival would add an experienced campaigner to United's ranks.
Bassett has worked with eight different clubs including Barnsley and Sheffield United, where he took charge of almost 400 matches between 1988 and 1995.
He has been absent from football management since leaving Southampton in 2005, but he now appears ready to resume his career.
He would join United with the club creeping ever closer to the top of League One and only four points behind league leaders Carlisle.
Leeds have not commented on the possibility of Bassett's arrival, and it is understood that an agreement was still to be confirmed this morning.
Another potential bonus for Wise was due to be delivered this afternoon, with midfielder Shaun Derry lined up for his first competitive outing for more than 10 months during United's reserve clash with Hartlepool at Elland Road. Derry looks set to leave Leeds on loan next month after a long spell on the sidelines with a heel injury.
But a successful outing would give Wise another available midfielder within his squad.
Thompson, Andrew Hughes and Radostin Kishishev were all absent through injury during Saturday's 4-2 win over Millwall, and Wise has previously admitted that selection problems could offer Derry a way back into United's first team.
Portuguese winger Filipe Da Costa was also expected to receive a run-out during this afternoon's second-string clash.
