Unless something has changed, if they think we can manage until January without being cut adrift at the bottom of the league then try to manage we will do. Then if we're struggling Mike "will continue to invest in the football club" to save himself losing money.
Whether January's a good time to buy players or not will be completely dependent on where we are in the table. If we're meandering along safely enough in midtable there'll be no significant signings until the summer, as January's a bad market. And so on.
