Wigan owner Dave Whelan has no sympathy for the all flak Newcastle
counterpart Mike Ashley is currently facing.
Ashley has come in for fierce criticism from Magpies fans following recent
events at the North East club.
The Toon supremo has been blamed by supporters for the departure of Kevin
Keegan and fans staged vociferous protests against Ashley at last weekend's
home clash with Hull.
Just 24 hours after the protests Ashley confirmed his intention to sell the
club with the 45-year-old believed to be in Dubai talking to prospective
investors.
Whelan, who like Ashley made his fortune in sports retail, believes his
counterpart should never have bought Newcastle in the first place and
admits he deserves all the criticism directed at him.
"I know Mike Ashley quite well as I was running JJB when he was with Sports
Direct, and he is a bit unusual," said Whelan.
Different kettle of fish
"He is a very good retailer, but at managing a football club, no.
"Especially with him being a Tottenham supporter and then going up to
Newcastle, a club that is a different kettle of fish to most in the land.
"The fans up there eat, breathe and live for one thing, and that is
Newcastle United.
"Unless you put your whole heart into it, are a 100 per cent Geordie and
are backing them, then they will give you some stick.
"He has got it, and he deserves it."
