January is tricky for promotion contenders as quality up front would be needed in the Championship and would help with the promotion push but when is the right time to gamble?
I guess it depends on the club's finances and having a squad/system flexible enough to share the goals out around the pitch - and if all goes well it might be worth a punt on a striker - but given our recent brush with oblivion I doubt we'll be investing until we know we have to. Can you guys afford a Championship standard striker?
As far as brushes with oblivion go, we probably claim expert level.
We’re in the curious position of having a billionaire owner who wants to run the club on a sustainable basis. Haven’t got a problem with that, personally. He has demonstrated that he’s prepared to push the boat out if the deal seems worth it. So we’ll see.
