Quite interesting at the moment, Faulkner has confirmed money is there to spend.

In all fairness there has always been money to spend.....

Its been a question of

a) How much ? and

b) Whether the Chairman had the confidence in the Manager to allow him to spend it

"if the right opportunity presents". I'd be interested to know what parameters constitute "the right opportunity".

A good player that Houllier wants that is available.
I think there was caution in what he was saying as it's difficult to get what you want in January.

with the current injury crisis i can't imagine money won't be made available and a decent amount. Don't want to be dragged into the post christmas relegation battle, and what's 10m compared to losing 20+m if we went down?

Some people wouldn't have been satisfied if Faulkner had shown them a warchest full of cash.

Well he'd have to confirm it wasn't filled full of blank paper underneath the first few layers of cash obviously

I know its a cliche,but not many players get sold at that time if theyre doing well at their club,we done well to get Ash. And not many foreign players hit to ground running,especially if they join a team in the wrong half of the table with a lack of confidence. But this is why GH is on a good wage to find a couple of players who can add to the team in January.

 But i remember when Sir Brian took over,and adding 2 or 3 faces which gave the team a boost(i know they nearly messed it up in the end!)we need something similar now.

I've never trusted that Faulkner since he confessed to offing Archie Mitchell and jumped off a roof.

He was one of the pundits on it along with Keown, Lawro and Cyrille Regis.
