Jones, who has taken on his first high-profile job, was asked about the possibility of winter spending that would cheer up his team and improve his chances of survival.

“I’m looking forward to working with the players that we have,” he said. “And then if there’s something that we need and if there’s a structure and a reason for it, I’m sure (the owners) will take it and reinforce it.

“The owners want to be successful here. But they want to do it at the right pace. They are not going to lose £160m in the transfer window.

“What we are going to do is that we will have a real structure, we will work and we will see what we need, evaluate and make the right decisions, and this is how football clubs should work.

“I have done this in the past at good clubs, not only at Luton Town but also at Brighton where there is a real recruiting process and structure. I’m delighted with it.”
