They will have a list of targets

They will share or already have shared that list with the Board. It will be contingent on who does or doesn't go obviously but initial conversations with players we might look to bring in in various scenarios will either already have started or will start soon.

We will know pretty much nothing about who or what or when or how much until it's already happened. To say 95% of transfer speculation/"ITK on the web" stuff is fantasy bulls**t is to underestimate.

I'm very, very confident we have very, very good people in the appropriate jobs to do this for the club. I'm a strong believer in our sustainable model and I honestly can't think of anyone I would rather have running this window for us.

        Our model is in place to enable our owners to retain ownership of the club. You cannot (NCFC) - Jim, May 24, 14:51:46
