Steve Morgan hands Wolves transfer funds
Owner Steve Morgan today promised Wolves boss Kenny Jackett the funds are there to hit the January striker sales.
Head coach Jackett wants to repeat his shake-up of last winter when he moved out four strikers and signed Leon Clarke and Nouha Dicko.
Now with Dicko injured, Clarke struggling to make a consistent impact and Yannick Sagbo failing to impress, he wants to do the same after missing out on Callum Wilson, Andy Delort, Patrick Bamford and Chris Wood.
"Of course, he'll be given the same chance (as January) but it's not like going to the supermarket and picking a new striker off the shelf," chairman Morgan told the Express & Star.
"The right people are hard to come across. We probably need to be scoring more goals, but getting the right personnel is hard.
"We've made too many mistakes with bringing in the wrong personnel in the past and getting the right people isn't easy. But he will always have our full backing – as he has done from the beginning."
Morgan, speaking at the launch of the club's £7m new academy, believes Jackett can take the club further than any manager since he took over in 2007.
"If anyone can take the club forward, it's Ken," said Morgan.
"We work well together; he communicates well at every level, I speak to him two or three times a week and he's very clear in what he wants, which makes him an easy man to work with.
"But he's very focused on what he wants and you couldn't ask for more."
Meanwhile, Dicko and Dave Edwards, who has medial knee ligament damage, are both out until November 22 against Nottingham Forest at the earliest.
"We're hoping Nouha will be fit after the international break," said Jackett.
"This is the second time we've lost him with a hamstring injury and it's important that doesn't develop or re-occur. We don't want a Matt Doherty situation where it goes on for months and we bring him back too quickly. We're going to make sure he's right."
As for Edwards, the Molineux gaffer said: "We'll see how the knee settles down after the international break.
"It's still too early to tell – but it's weeks rather than months."
Michael Jacobs is set to replace Edwards at Derby tomorrow.
