Ok... So within the space of a couple of days Lee's job has entirely changed, he now has expectation on his shoulders, essentially Gallen will not sleep again until february and the job of navigating a path to a very significant and very real upward trajectory for the club begins.
It's clear that the financial stability of the club is now covered, it is also clear that with the right presentation and reasoning behind it the CEO will probably say "yes" to a lot of the requests made.
So Gallen, I'd imagine will be looking in an entirely different market, he will be identifying a different talent level, combined with all the traits of Lee Bowyer type player.
So what way are we going to go, I'd love it if we did the Wolves thing, genuine top tier talent ripping through the league, but I have a feeling that's not going to be the way, although who really can tell?
What do you reckon? What are we going to do?
A) 0- 5mill
5- 10 mill
C) 10 mill plus

£37m should do it.
Boywer saying ive got 3 players in i wanted for 8.5 million owners were more than ok with that.
Every other manager and owner of any pedigree knows that January is generally a month for panic-buying and paying over the odds.
We clearly need a bit of strengthening, but too much of an overhaul mid-season and you risk disrupting the team rather than strengthening it. Still have nightmares about Roland's first transfer window.
Presuming that we are through our injury crisis, I'd be perfectly happy with a couple of sensible signings that are a slight improvement on what we've already got. Quite keen to get away from the loan dependency of the last few years, but wouldn't object to loaning in someone who we might be able to sign permanently in the summer.
Press Conference will tell us all
Bowyer is going nowhere.
realistically i think people should prepare to he under whelmed as we all run the risk of getting a little too carried away and disappointed when Messi dies jot arrive !

Get Bowyers contract sorted, same for Jackson and Gallen, get Taylor onto a decent three year deal and possibly look to bring in a quality left back, as that is the one position that we are light in when everyone is fit - assuming that Page remains as the new Cory Gibbs.
There may be a case for trying to get Cullen on the cheap in January, but then again maybe with all of the new investment the new owners may be setting their sights a little higher?
Having said all this Gallen was very public about not wanting a huge turnover of players again this summer like we did last, but now the chequebook is glistening I think he might change his mind.
