Former Newcastle United boss Glenn Roeder defended Mike Ashley on Wednesday.
Glenn Roeder divided opinion among Newcastle United fans during his time in charge of the Premier League club.
But there is no division among Newcastle fans over his latest comments.
Roeder, who managed the Magpies across 2006 and 2007, spoke on talkSPORT on Wednesday and defended the club’s much-maligned owner Mike Ashley.
The 63-year-old also claimed that United might be worse off with another owner, following the takeover talks in recent months.
Here’s how Newcastle fans reacted to his comments:
Ashley sanctioned a club-record £20 million move [The Sun] for Miguel Almiron in January.
The Paraguayan already looks to be a top signing, but there is a long way to go before the businessman repairs his relationship with the St James’s Park faithful, if that’s even possible at this stage.
He needs to ensure that Rafael Benitez – out of contract this summer – stays on Tyneside. If he keeps Benitez happy and ties him down to a new deal then Newcastle fans will be happy.
If the Spaniard winds up quitting the club then Ashley will take much of the blame.
