Transfer Money Available

He said: "Money is not an issue because if players become available then we have money to do something. We won't bring in players for the sake of it. I've never done that and have probably gone with a smaller squad than I should have."

Hopefully, the news of money being there to spend will mean some new players in the new year. An experienced striker, an attacking midfielder and a left back will do nicely.
