Ashton told the Guardian: “It would be very sad if the fans just carried on singing about Tevez and weren’t singing about the other players in the team.
“We want to put that behind us, start a new season and get the fans excited with that.
“Everyone wants a fresh start and the players we’ve brought in have given us an extra buzz.
“There has been a lot of changes at the club and it feels like a decent place to be and that shows.”
