Wise fury over choice of referee

Wise was involved in a high-profile row with Miller last season when he was sent off and later fined £1,500 by the FA after a 1-1 draw with Southend.

Wise told the Yorkshire Post: "I can't believe that the Football League have given us Nigel Miller.

"People know the situation we had with him at Southend. I got into trouble."

He added: "I am very disappointed that we have got him, but that is the way it is sometimes. Hopefully, he will do a good job.

"I hope he doesn't hold grudges and I hope he referees very professionally and does the right thing."

The Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) board rejected Wise's plea to change the official.

A spokesman said: "The appointment process is run independently of clubs and appointments are only changed in instances where a referee is ill, injured, or there is a disciplinary case pending."
