The club needs to sign a manager for the long term. It creates team stability. Newcastle could of sacked Pardew but they didn't and they should now be safe from relegation. If they sacked him it could of been a different story.
Bring in a young striker or two or an emerging talent! Lets not blow the budget on this! Newcastle is a prime example where you dont have to spend a fortune to find a quality striker or two.
How about we do our own scouting like Newcastle have done to find our own little gem for a 10th of a price. And if he doesnt perform its not like we have spent our life savings on him. Look at Carrol for expample.. 35 mil for what? he's pony tail maybe?
If we were keen on him he would need to pass our medical first.. An honest assessment of he's knee will probably see him fail.. This is where clubs that may be interested Need to way up if it's worth the risk
