Wise has had success as manager of Millwall

The Employment Appeals Tribunal overturned a ruling that Leicester were right to sack him in August 2002 after he punched Callum Davidson on tour.

However Wise's claim is against the company that went into administration.

With Leicester having reformed since then, it is not clear whether the new company will be liable - a civil claim for �2m was made in October 2002.

It is thought unlikely Leicester will take the case to the Court of Appeal but Wise may decide to pursue a claim against the new company New Fox.
