Any chance of GC getting the funds he needs to make the signings to give the team a serious push for promotion?

Only if the takeover happens or Nicho and Benno get moves, a fully fit JCH will get us going again in the final third, heading for play offs with a bit of luck.

It'll be the same as with DC.......He will only be able to spend what he creates....someone out, someone in. When JCH is sold for a million, that money will be used to offset the debt, and the management will be given the instruction to find another freebie. They've done it once, do it again.
I'm not cynical.

Think your right - Benno and Nicho out then we can get a proper left midfielder (although not many about) and another striker option to compete with Tyler and Vic. Two new'uns could propel us into the playoffs ( no more long term injuries to 1st 11 players too !).

I'm not cynical. Why should we expect anything different? That's pretty much how lower league football works.

Having TDH and Sam Matthews back in the fold will be like new signings.
Outgoings could well be:
Bennett Nicholls Reilly Hargreaves (Loan)

We will hear the same story, the budget is tight and we have to get players out before we sign anyone.
Don't blame the manager though, obviously the current board don't want to put more money than they have to in.
If we are still in good position early January, would love to see the club make some inspiring signing on loan or buy in.
But this is Rovers, I am hoping the club is sold to people who want to see us progress.

Think what we need in January is about the same as the summer and last January, some midfield creativity. Another forward would be good but with what we’ve got it’s unlikely imo. UTG!

A takeover might not make a lot of difference. We were told the potential buyers would only buy us, if a new stadium goes ahead. So that don't want to throw around money, or else that would just buy us now.

Not sure a creative midfield player would fit into the managers system/team ethic. We don't play through the midfield but instead work it long and sometimes wide with the keeper usually but not always kicking. Much better teams than rovers manage without a creative midfield player,possibly or arguably liverpool the european champions.

Liverpool have others that create from wide like Mane/Salah and a creative forward like Firminho that can drop into pockets of space and create. In January I'd love us to get another creative option.

Of course but liverpool play front to back a lot of the time,not in a aimless way but it is noticeable. The problem is a creative player wants to receive the ball from defenders and we have no use for that under coughlan,also creative players we could afford usually are unable to do the graft required in the managers style of play. To me coughlan has set up the team like pulis and warnock and has had success with it. Ps warnock teams usually have very good wide players,we only have rodman who is a good player in that role.

We need to lighten the burden on Rodman after his injury problems over the past couple of years. Another reason to add another creative option to enable us to mix things up a bit.

As everyone else has said, we only only sign players if others leave.
The biggest talking point will be JCH. If he does go I would like to think GC will be given a small amount (maybe around 250k?) to bring in a replacement.
Who else will leave? Maybe Bennet on loan but any new club will only pay a percentage of his wage. If Matthews gets fit by January then he may go out on loan. GC might try and ship Nichols out on loan but I don't know if anyone will take him.
THD played his first game last week so will hopefully be like a new signing for the second half of the season. Same with Hare, but isn't he pretty much out for the rest of the season?
So unless JCH goes, then I don't think we will bring anyone else in. Even if a few get loaned out.

Jamie Reid at Torquay is doing well.
40 goals in 70 appearances and currently since 2017 and on 14 for the season already. He’s been around L2 and non league for a while Whilst at Exeter and is 25 but it seems it’s suddenly clicked for him, a bit like snakey did when we signed him.
Pirate will probably know more.

Outgoings could well be: Bennett Nicholls Reilly Hargreaves (Loan) Sam Matthews was sent out on loan to Eastleigh by GC, I wouldn't get to excited about his return! Hopefully Bennett & Nichols have told their agents "get me out of here" and they will both be gone in January. Good to see THD return but we're hardly lacking LB's.

JCH is the difference. With him i honestly do not think we need to do anything. Promotion via the play-offs.
