Club chief executive has said that manager Joe Royle can bring in another short-term loan now if he wants one. Bowden also says that a permanent signing and a long-term loan may also be on the cards at the end of the month.

The former Saatchi and Saatchi man said: "A loan deal for a short period similar to the Tony Dinning deal that manager Joe Royle completed last weekend is a possibility if that is what the manager wants.

"There is no need for him to offload anyone before he can bring in a loan signing.

"We plan to look at the situation again at the end of this month and the possibility of a full-time signing and a year-long loan will be discussed."
