While United's director of football Dennis Wise watched the match on Saturday with former vice-president Tony Jimenez, there was no sign of Ashley at the ground.However, several members of Ashley's family attended the game.
Chronicle: "For while it has been assumed that because of his friendship with former White Hart Lane vice-chairman Paul Kemsley that Ashley was always a Spurs fan, I understand Chelsea were always his team."
NOT according to the Wigan chairman, who has known Ashley for many years, saying: "Last time I spoke to him he was a Spurs supporter".
Wise did not speak to Kinnear at Stamford Bridge, or go into the visiting dressing room.
Kinnear stayed in London to watch Spurs beat a Blackburn Rovers side which included one of his January targets, towering central defender Christopher Samba.
