Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock is due to meet with chairman Tony Fernandes tomorrow to discuss the club's targets in the January transfer window.
The entrepreneur's takeover of the club two weeks before the end of the summer window allowed for a number of signings including Joey Barton and Armand Traore, and he is thought to have promised Warnock generous funds to further bolster the squad this winter.
"Tony has given me great support and I couldn't wish for more backing from him since he arrived," Warnock told the Evening Standard. "We have already begun talking about what we are going to do in January and have a number of ideas. He is coming to see me to talk about them on Thursday.
"There are so many things that are possibilities and if I ask for a certain player, the board will support me. At the moment a striker and defender are my two priorities.
"We are looking abroad as well as in this country. We would be silly not to because Tony has all these contacts. We haven't got a big enough squad, but we just have to keep going now until January and look to improve again."
