That amount of investment wouldn't happen and I'm talking to be competitive in the league, not be battling relegation all season. I'd love it to happen but that's not how they're running the club.
Everything is a gamble in this game, to the point that it's a gamble not to gamble.

If it's correct that we only have a top 8-10 budget then I wouldn't expect too much to happen in January. It's often said that it's the worst time to buy because clubs are desperate and the prices are higher.
All well and good if the team is improved but it would be somewhat out of character for the owners to make significant moves for players you would need to slot straight in, rather than take time to settle in and be coached into our way of playing over a pre-season at least, or several months.

Adam Hassel describing fans "pouring out of the ground" prior to the final whistle and the boos that greeted it would suggest it's more than just a few on here who are becoming restless. I'd tend to agree that it's way too early to start rocking the boat, but that's easy to say if you're not travelling up and down the country in all weather to watch it every weak seeing the obvious problems with your own eyes.
