Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has urged his board to start splashing out on major signings.
"Our short-term objective is to save the season because the situation that we encountered upon our arrival at the club was very complicated, with the club in the relegation zone following a poor run.
"We seem to have overcome the period of anxiety that we were going through and we are situated in mid-table.
"We still have roughly half a season left to try and climb up the league table. We are fighting for three cups and want to progress as far as possible. Those are our short term goals."
