09/04/2008 - Stoke-on-Trent, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stoke City manager Tony Pulis will receive further financial backing in the next transfer window, according to ambitious club chairman Peter Coates.
The Potters have already invested around $35 million on new players this summer in a bid to build a squad capable of retaining Premier League status.
But after missing out on several potential targets - including Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant and Cardiff City starlet Joe Ledley - before Monday's transfer deadline, Pulis will be handed further funds in the new year.
"We will be looking in January. It will be dependent on what we need, but our next games will enable us to answer that," Coates told The Sentinel.
"We will strengthen if we can find the right players to fit our requirements. But we have spent more than [$35] million and I think we have done well.
"You would always like more but one or two deals were not to be. I have always been confident we will compete and have a go. That's not changed, we have a good squad of players.
"In January we will see what we need and, if we can find the right players, we will strengthen the team further."

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
