If Hughes is still in charge, give him fuck all. He's proven he can't spend money and does better with no money at all. Please to god do not give that fool a penny to spend in January. Alternatively, fuck him off!

Timing is key for this window. We can't do our usual late night trolley dash on deadline day, meaning players aren't bedded in until mid February.
The deals need to be lined up now.
One little problem with that though. Anyone know what it is?

Hughes can't be trusted, i'd rather get a new manager in and then whoever then can buy players

I would think we've got to have been negotiating with possible new manager's already (we must have mustn't we ?) with a potential deal 99 per cent done. Hopefully the new manager will be assessing our needs "from a distance" so that our dynamic transfer team can spring into action as soon as the axe has been swung and the new guy is "unveiled".
Then again this is Coates, Scholes and Carto so they've only probably just nipped down to Tesco to get a copy of Football Manager to check the manager database but won't have worked out how to use it yet.

I think Hughes is staying even if we lose this weekend.
I hope at the very least they have a defensive midfielder...who can run.....lined up

This is good news indeed. Irrespective of who we think our manager should be, he is going to need new players. No shit Sherlock

The 'Subject' of this thread is a little misleading. The article actually says: " Whoever is manager come the January transfer window, chairman Peter Coates says there will be money to spend." Yeah, Coates can hardly say there is no war chest if he wants to get a new general in

One little problem with that though. Anyone know what it is? I believe that Wimmer and Imbula were last minute panic buys. The club were hoping to appease the supporters regarding investment in quality players It looks like we can forget about Imbula, Wimmer has a lot to prove I would hope that targets have been identified some time ago, the problem remains re convincing players to choose us It probably means greater outlay right now. - other clubs will also be trying to buy themselves out of trouble All signings are a risk We may also have a challenge re retaining Shaqiri and keeping him motivated A stressful few weeks ahead

I said when he went back to Spain this time that he would not be coming back. I stand by that comment. So many questions to be asked over that deal. Will you have him back? Can we have a refund? the product is clearly not fit for purpose. Can't think of any other questions worth asking.

Why would any decent player come to a club in steady decline with a manager on the brink of the sack? With a new manager, we might have a chance of persuading someone to join us.

Use the money to entice a good fucking manager Coates, theres a start....

It's an awful dilemma isn't it.
We all desperately want the club to be successful and at least survive this season.
A win on Saturday would be great but it would presumably mean Hughes will stay that bit longer.
I really can't see Coates sacking Hughes if we win.

Don't get me wrong I'd get rid of the lot just to be sure but how can you be so certain he's shit. We've had good players in for talks who've gone elsewhere and done well, maybe they were his picks. Given our club is so secretive about exactly who is responsible for what its really difficult to pin down who's most responsible for the shit show that is our squad. At least we can say for sure that Hughes deserves to be sacked for tactics, selection and game management alone.

We need 3 defenders alongside Zouma when fit New right and left back and Bruno once fit again. We need to face the fact that Shawcross is no longer one of our best two centre halves. Totally disagree mate, Ryan is not the problem in the defence

Totally disagree mate, Ryan is not the problem in the defence He might not be the problem but he is making a very good case for himself being third choice behind Zouma and BMI

The trouble with the January transfer window the clubs we are dealing with know just how much trouble we are in and will have us over a barrel on transfer fees. The players know the trouble we are in and have us over a barrel for wages, signing on fees and clauses etc.
I feel it would cost a fortune to get a mediocre player through the doors so let's hope that there are massive amounts of funds available to get us out of the hole we find ourselves in.
Add the fact that if we get the players we need we also need a manager who knows what to do with them which Isn't Hughes

I'd prefer us to win the next couple, spend big in January, then win the next 15 after that.

Why the fuck would you give the dipshit who's already wasted £50m ANOTHER big wad of cash to spunk away on dog shit?
This is exactly why we should have got rid of Hughes straight after the Spurs game, or at the latest after the West Ham debacle. We're not going to sack him now until at least after the Newcastle match with the number of games we've got coming up, by which time, the clock will already be ticking in the January transfer window.
Whoever comes in at that point (if anyone does) will barely have time to plant his arse down in the hotseat before he's expected to spend serious amounts of money to avert relegation. And make no mistake, these decisions are the most crucial transfer decisions we will EVER have made- the stakes are enormous.
The alternative is that we HAVE to give a massive amount of money to a bloke who I wouldn't trust to go to ASDA for bread and milk.
You'd hope that a supposedly brilliant business mind would have considered this????

We will be talking upwards of 20M per head for the quality required, of which we need a minimum of three.

Which is imo the most interesting part of it.

Maybe you'd give it him to spend because on his other more successful purchases you have wiped a fair proportion of that £50M out and have assets that would show a profit in Shaq, Joe, BMI, Ramadan maybe others that would take care of the rest. His transfer record is a red herring he needs to be sacked for becoming wank at football management not wasting money that argument simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
