Wilkins: I don't want Wise's job

Ray Wilkins would reject the chance to take over from Dennis Wise if the Millwall manager is sacked.

Relations with the club's board have become increasingly strained due to the directors' reluctance to invest in the new players Wise believes would help the club into the Championship play-offs.

But assistant manager Wilkins said: "I assure all Millwall fans that, were Dennis to be sacked, I would not seek to replace him. I came here to assist Dennis, not to take his job, and were it to be offered I would not accept."

After Sunday's 3-0 win over Plymouth, Wise criticised club officials for failing to support his play-off bid, saying: "I can't keep quiet much longer. I don't think certain people believe in me enough."

Wilkins also hit back at former chairman Reg Burr for criticising the team as "boring". Wilkins said: "He has done everything he can to slaughter in the most vindictive fashion many people who have worked hard to make Millwall a better place."
