Hate to be negative here but I really do feel it would be a smart move to prepare ourself for next season in the Championship. Buy a proven championship goal scorer, a bit like Newcastle have done with Gayle, but get him in now and not later (when 3 or more other teams will be in for the same player)

A Rhodes would be good.. Campbell, give Crouch a 18 month deal perhaps? Scott Hogan?

Buy using what?

I'd like Scott Hogan, reminds me a lot of Matty Fryatt. It'd be wise to think forward, as if/when we do go down, we won't have much of a budget so might as well use the spending power now.
 
Minor point but Ehab doesn't have any of his own money. If it wasn't for Daddy he'd be stacking shelves. I just think it's important that the little slimeball isn't afforded any undue respect.

Phelan won't do a Bruce. Even Bruce didn't want to do a Bruce. Phelan desperately wanted a crack at management, that's why he took one of the least appealling jobs going, because he needed that chance to prove himself. His focus will be entirely on making the most of this and putting himself in the shop window for future jobs. The only way he'll leave is if there was another club lined up, and if that did happen I think he'd be gone in a flash.
He's got an engineering degree so i doubt it.

While people moan like fck about them not spending in January. The money isnt there.
We wasted the small pot of money we had in August on players we didnt need.
 
Cheap option would be to take a look at Omar Bogle at Grimsby - lots of Championship clubs after him and he single-handedly caused us problems when we played them in pre-season, even though he was isolated up front on his own.

Reports are he is going to Forest.
 
Hate to be a party pooper and at risk of repeating myself lets look at the situation as many are presuming were going to buy and theres a pot of cash available

We recently borrowed 20m for the summer signings im guessing this was borrowed against the final payment of the sky tv cash which was recieved after the transfer window had closed (i may be wrong)
I repeat that was the final amount of sky tv cash to be paid to us
Which leads us to the question is ehab going to dip into his own pocket to finance any signings? In fact that would make a good poll question
I cannot for the life of me seeing ehab put any more of his own cash into our club
Which then leads us to how he'l deal with phelan and what phelans reactions will be
For me phelan will be told he has to sell to buy or that simply no cash is available and to make the new signings work
So onto how phelan reacts he'l either take it on the chin and try and make use of what he has with a couple of cheap loan signings or freebies
Sell some players and reinvest which seems unlikely after recent comments
Or he'l do a bruce

Interesting times

I don't expect us to spend any significant money in the window, I think a couple of loans is probably the best we can hope for, but I don't understand your comment about 'the final amount of Sky money paid to us', we're getting almost £100m in staged payments through the season.

The final amount of Sky money is paid in May. It's structured throughout the year, why would we have got it all in Summer? If we had there wouldn't have been problems with transfer funds and Steve Bruce would there?
