Do the defeats effect our spending?

Do you think the four defeats and dropping two points away from automatic positions instead of maybe being 6 points clear in second will effect the purse strings released in a January?

Ultimately it comes down to trust, but if I take my football fan hat off and put my business one on just for a minute I would feel a lot more comfortable spending and gambling that money a month ago. Or does it have the total opposite effect and highlight how badly reinforcements are needed due to all the injuries?

Yeah maybe or maybe tan will be slightly nervous ( I would ) hopefully sound investments that will not devalue if we don't go up. That's the key for me.

Part of Warnock's master plan. Is it a coincidence that we start playing shit when the transfer window is about to open and tan is here.

It's Warnock's way of pointing out to him that we need to spend more in January to achieve promotion.

Gareth, yes I think so. Tan watched three games and three of our wirst of the season.
Tan was already only given us peanuts compared to other clubs spending, now it will be rice.

The amounts spent never bothers me, we have already seen what can be done. I just hope it doesn't effect what Warnock wants. For example if players identified comes to a certain amount is now out of the question.

Question for you : take the football fan hat off, would you be more likely to put your hand in your pocket a month ago than now if you were the owner?

Logic says more now as the last week as shown we need strengthening ! Before last 4 games he may have thought we are doing OK so don't need strengthening?

We may not have spent much out but let's not pretend Warnock hasn't been well backs, new contracts for the likes of Manga. Turning down big offers for Morrison and Zohore. I'm sure if Warnock wanted he could have sold them both and had about 10m to spend from sales.

To answer the original question I don't think so, I don't think we were every spending much in Jan.

totally agree about him being backed

Could work either way however to me it highlights the fact of how badly we need a few players

Gareth, Sone straight talking honesty from me as usual the simple as is Yes.

Unfortunately it is not about how much we spend but the desire for players to want to come to a table sliding side.
We would have looked a good option for quality players looking to get into a promotion side but those players will now be looking at the performances and thinking they would rather chose Bristol city or derby than us. We may want certain players but if they see us as an always almost there but never make it side they will go somewhere else.
And that is how it will look at present!

I don’t agree Luke that Warnock has been backed well, in Warnocks own words after moving places in and out”My total spend was £1.5mill”

That’s peanuts compared to other Championshio clubs challenging.

Now we will see if Warnock gets back, but now if I was Tan, I would be wary after the last 4 games.

No doubt it is but I also think he plays on that to try and take the pressure off him and the team.

Put it this way Annis if we sold Zohore and Morrison for the reported 15m and 5m that were offered and Warnock was given 20m to spend would that have been classed as backing him? I think everyone would agree that is classed as backing him and it amounts to the same thing.

Do the defeats AFFECT our spending.

And for what it’s worth, I don’t think it will make any difference

Same here, so we can't blame tan if he doesn't throw money about. However as a football fan I hope he backs Warnock to the hilt, can't see it. I think the last four games have damaged it, hope am wrong.

If he does not back Warnock , expect us to be looking for a new manager come the summer.

Perhaps there was one budget for if we were in the automatic promotion places at the start of January and a different budget if we were not?

Maybe that's why the players who were apparently all lined up and ready to come in at the start of the month have so far failed to appear.

Whilst you can understand Tans reluctance, i think Warnock will feel disheartened if he isnt backed from such a challenging position.

True enough, let's wait and see what happens remembering it's not about the dollar spent but getting the players Warnock wants

Nothing surprises anymore! But more to point as club/tan changed mind about recruitment? as NW as said contradiction things regarding players in and was supposed to have 2 players done except signatures! Where are they ?

Did Warnock actually say that or just read it on here

No he actually said it! don't remember word for word but it was clearly stated on here attributed to NW that just signatures needed on 2 players couple days later on radio he's not sure when coming but not before cup, obviously more was said but didnt write it down

Fair enough, only seen it on here that 2 were signed ready.

Every quote I seen from Warnock was more along the lines of he is trying to get something sorted.

Think it was more to do with change of stance regarding players coming in that I noticed ? From they're signing to trying to get players in, But plenty of time hopefully get couple in.

I think Warnock has done enough to impress Tan to give him as much as he can, while working within a sensible budget and showing consideration for financial fair play.

If anything the drop in points will force Tan to his very best, it's in his interest to both go for promotion and keep Warnock happy and here next year to give it another go if we miss out.

I think they will be planning for the future and building a squad to complete the promtion either this season, if not give it a good go next season.

Slow start to the window, but I think we will get some significant improvements in the squad before it ends.
