Wise heads for Newcastle axe

Dennis Wise could be set for the chop at Newcastle United, as owner Mike Ashley starts afresh and begins a clean out at the troubled Toon side. It is understood Ashley is unimpressed with Wise's contribution since arriving at the club.

Wise had been employed as the execuive director of football and was partly responsible for the players that Newcastle brought to the club.

In the January transfer window, despite the Toon's best efforts, Newcastle missed out on a number of key players such as Michael Johnson and Kieran Richardson.

Now Dennis Wise could be heading for the exit door as Mike Ashley prepares to reshuffle.
