Newspaper claim - one or more board members blocked a ?7m bid by WHU for Ashton?

The piece says WHU were given a clear indication of what was needed at the FA Cup game and the piece stated the rumour is that Delia blocked the move.

no player sold unless its a unanimous board decision

Furthermore the piece stated that a senior source denied the board was split re Ashton transfer or that Delia had said no to a transfer.

It went onto say that West Ham have been told that ?1m of add ons (in addition to the ?7m) may change the Norwich boards mind.

----------------------------------------------
Last season it was known that it would take an ?8m or more bid for Ashton to be transferred....so it shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone that the club is holding out for that figure.

Just makes you wonder if West Ham are trying to apply pressure via the media.
