You have a choice come January, essentially stick or twist.
Plan A) Stick with Ollie, the current team sheet, perhaps add afew loans, maybe the odd buy in, the odd sell. Say the ins are a loan striker and a winger and a bought defender if we're lucky. We're assuming here that he would be happy blooding youngsters as he seems to be re starting that fire.
Plan B) Stick with Ollie, but back him with the funds in this window to bring in at least 3 players in key positions, namely defence and upfront. This assumes we have less youngsters on the team sheet regularly.
Plan C) New manager, but limited funds in January, essentially therefore the same squad. New manager could be anyone from Clement to unknown abroad to Pulis, but would be somebody with at least something to offer, but each manager is different of course so that's the punt you take.
Plan D) New manager, funds given to immediately overhaul key positions and backroom staff. Meaning we potentially see a good few new names on the team sheet.
Plan E) None of the above.
Only likely outcome is plan A isn't it? All of them are possible, but FFP and tight wallets essentially mean 2 are extremely unlikely. Whats your plan E?
