Former Newcastle United chief Dennis Wise is being linked with the manager's job at Brighton.

Brighton will make a controversial move to bring Wise back into football - if boss Russell Slade does not turn things around quickly, says the Mirror.

The Seagulls had ambitious plans to get out of League One this season but a faltering start has turned into a crisis following a 7-1 thumping at Huddersfield.

Now Wise is on their radar for a surprise approach if Slade does not sort things out. The former Millwall boss and Newcastle United supremo would jump at a return to the game.
