Hughton Plays Down Ashley's Promise Of Cash!

When asked how much dosh he expected from Ashley, Hughton avoided the question saying: "We have to work with what we have".

Reporters refused to let the subject drop and asked "how much will you be given exactly?"

Chris Hughton: "The most important thing first and foremost is that we have to work with what we have.

"We can't bring in anybody until January other than loans.

"I'll identify what I think we need when that time comes, but the most important thing is getting the results in the games before then.

"There are two remits really – the here and now, and then what happens when the window opens when we'll sit down and look at it then."
