Dennis Wise defends Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, fans react

Former Newcastle United director Dennis Wise has defended Mike Ashley despite the lack of funding during the summer transfer window.

Wise worked as the club’s executive director during 2008 and he believes there is nothing wrong with the wheeling and dealing at Newcastle United.

He went on to claim that Ashley will be blamed no matter what he does.

Wise said: “Whatever he does, he will constantly take stick no matter what he does, simple as that. There’s a lot of people out there that don’t help the situation. Rafa has done an extremely good job and they’ve traded well.
