Absolutely correct. Relegation is a distinct possibility. Dalman stated at the meeting before the Boro game that no funds would be available in January. It is difficult to envisage that the recall of Wintle being enough to turn the season around on its own. So perhaps Tan will dig deep to fund other initiatives to avoid relegation be they loan or whatever. Perhaps relegation to League 1 might cause him to lose face which he might like to avoid.
