Once again we are reminded of the £25m Ashley has put into the club ... but what happened to the money the club made after selling Shay Given, Habib Beye, Charles N'Zogbia, Damien Duff, Oba Martins, ect?

That money seemed to disappear off the planet!

Derek Llambias: "You can't lose the income we have lost in relegation and still be where we are, so Mike has put in £25million in December.

"He has put in another £5milllion this week, so he is committed.

"We bought £5.5million worth of players in January. We needed to freshen up the team and support our manager.

"They are great fans, but there is a very small section of fans that are basically not reasonable, there is no reality to where they are.

"I am hoping that we get there (Premier league) and we'll see what happens next season.

"The reality is that if Mike had not taken the club, we would be in a mess."

"The club is still not for sale. There is no money out there. Football is not what it was.

"We had two possible buyers and they didn't put their money up so at the end of the day they are not real."
