Dennis Wise has defended Newcastle owner Mike Ashley's running of the club amid continued criticism from supporters.
Since taking control of Newcastle in 2007, Ashley has endured a turbulent relationship with the club's fanbase, often due to a perceived lack of investment on the field.
Ashley's purchase of House of Fraser department store chain for £90m on the eve of the Premier League season did little to appease Newcastle fans, following a transfer window where the club had made a profit.
"Unfortunately whatever he does, he will constantly take stick. It's as simple as that," said Wise, who spent just over a year as an executive director early in Ashley's tenure at St James' Park
