Think it would be sooner because if we still have Orta there isn’t a chance Orta will not bring in someone not wanted.
My fear would be for this guy to walk out over a false promise before the new season actually starts...
*Puts head above parapet* I honestly don't thing Orta is the comedy scapegoat/pantomime villain that he's painted to be. For example he was the one talking AR of sacking TC earlier than he did and I still think some of his signings last year will come good. He's also apparently the one pushing for Biesla which he's doing knowing that he will no longer been the centre of control so don't buy into the whole he's a power mad Rasputin at the club (despite the beard)

I think he'll much more be looking forward to targeting a few high quality replacements with a decent budget and a marquee manager than trying to turn around the club last summer.
Also I don't think they wanted Monk but equally as shown by Monk last year with Middlesborough there's no guarantee another year with him would have worked - would have still lost Wood and no guarantee Bartley would have been allowed to move that summer either.
