Dennis Wise: "It has all had a damaging effect on my career and has not been fantastic for me. But you have to make decisions and live and die by them.
"It's sad because I was going into that job trying to do my best for the club. I left a good job at Leeds to go there and thought I was going to better myself.
"At the end of the day, Mike (Ashley) sacked me.
"There's been a lot of speculation about the situation with agents.
"I have to be careful what I say but the club never paid money to an agent. We brought a loan player in but there was no loan fee or agent fee.
"The long-term idea was we would have first option on all the best young South American kids and that was important to the club.
"Mike knew all about it and was fine. He knew about every deal. He's the owner and it's his money."
