NEW YORK (Reuters) - Back in March, Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) Chairman Dick Kovacevich scoffed at being pressured into taking $25 billion of taxpayer money from the government, saying his bank was healthy and didn't need it.

Now, the fourth-largest U.S. bank may find itself unable to get free of the government's clutches for some time.

The bank said on Thursday it would need $13.7 billion of capital, in light of results from the U.S. government stress test, and that it plans to sell $6 billion of common stock.
