Billy Davies will be given the funds to push Nottingham Forest up the Championship table according to his chairman.
Nigel Doughty brought the Scot to the City Ground at the turn of the year and watched the former Preston and Derby boss preserve the club's place in the second tier with a week to spare.
Davies has since outlined his desire to take the Reds to the next level and has already expressed interest in bringing loan quintet Paul Anderson, Dexter Blackstock, Chris Gunter, Joel Lynch and Gary McSheffrey to the club permanently.
And Doughty says he will not be shy in backing Davies, who he considers to be one of the club's premier attractions.
He told Forest's official website: "There will be resources, there have always been resources. Having Billy as our manager means the attractiveness of our club has improved markedly. With respect to other people, he's done it before.
"A promising player would say, `big club, great support, great stadium, nice place to live, oh good manager too and the chairman is backing him, that's the place to go'."

well said lads we have heard it all before 1 question if there were funds there before why were they not used
The comments from the chairman have been said before its seem to be a ploy every year to get us to buy season tickets. Every year more a more people are working this out and are waiting to see if the davies era is really a new dawn. Spend your money chairman then i will spend mine.
"A promising player would say, `big club, great support, great stadium, nice place to live, oh good manager too and the chairman is backing him, that's the place to go'."
Go on then. I have been very vocal. And I am prepared to eat humble pie. Show me you mean it by buying some players (because we need them), and I will support you.
