West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady says they'll buy in January.
Brady also gave Avram Grant a public vote of confidence.
Asked by BBC Radio 5 live if Grant would be boss at the end of the season, Brady said: "Almost definitely, yes."
She insisted that the club's board must also take responsibility, and that they are likely to invest in new players during the January transfer window.
"January gives us the ideal opportunity to do things help our football team," said Brady on Tuesday, three days after the club's 0-0 draw at home to Blackpool.
"Not only is he [Grant] going to keep his job, but we also accept that we have responsibility. We are the board, we put our hands in our pockets.
"There are other things that can happen in terms of lifting the spirit, and bringing a sense of calm. That very much comes from the top."
