Rio Ferdinand has defended Newcastle's much-maligned owner Mike Ashley and told fans to stump up their own money to buy the club if they're unhappy with how its being run.
Newcastle supporters have been calling for billionaire Ashley to step down for years, and have staged numerous protests against him, while there is currently huge unrest around the club with Steve Bruce's men facing the threat of relegation from the Premier League.
The Magpies were almost bought for £300million by a Saudi-Arabian led consortium last year before the deal collapsed, much to supporters' disappointment.
