The Ashton money

Under the Headline "Doubts grow over West Ham bidders as takeover stalls" the Guardian says :-

"One of the reasons behind the latest delay ......is the expense involved in paying off the balance in transfer fees owing to Norwich City for the forward Dean Ashton"

"According to West Hams accounts to May this year, there is a minimum ?5.543m owing in transfer fees, much of it for Ashton ........"

And all this pre-Green signing.
