Newcastle United's owners worked 'tirelessly' to prepare for January, but they have not been getting much sleep during their first transfer window, either.
It is certainly not lost on the hierarchy that what they do in the final 11 days of the window will have a huge bearing on whether Newcastle can defy the odds and stay up.
While it would be a shock if Newcastle had any new signings in place for Saturday's huge game at Leeds, there will still be 51 points up for grabs by the time the window closes so it is crucial the Magpies make further quality additions before February 1.
