Gary Megson says he must bring in a lot of players if Bolton Wanderers are to avoid relegation next season.
Felipe Caicedo's eighth-minute goal on Sunday sent Manchester City on their holidays on a high note, with a leisurely 1-0 victory over the Trotters.
Megson confirmed Ebi Smolarek, Ariza Makukula and Sebastien Puygrenier will leave the Reebok Stadium following the end of their respective loan periods, leaving him to start scouring a market he knows other like minded top flight clubs will be heavily involved in.
Megson is confident he can get the players he needs, however, he offered a stark assessment of the future.
way forward
"With the three loan players we are letting go, we are left with a squad that would get relegated," he said. "We have to improve it. We have no choice.
"The hatchet job has been done. I was asked to get the expenses right down and keep the club in the Premier League.
"This season I have used 18 players, including Chris Basham, who went on loan to Rochdale and wasn't deemed to be good enough there. Now we have to look at a slightly more expensive way forward. It has to be done."
