Cardiff City owner Sam Hammam says his revolution at the club this summer is by no means over yet and that the club want three more new players - which result in another three leaving south Wales.
Hammam has revealed the club is currently on the lookout for two strikers and also another defender before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
However, due to their financial situation, the club are also very nearly through their transfer budget, menaing if more players are to come into the club then the same number have to leave to free up the wages.
"We had it in mind to introduce 12 new players," revealed Hammam.
"I focussed on getting Dave Jones the players he wanted when he agreed to take over.
"On his first day he gave me a list of four players he wanted here quickly.
"I have got him three of those four already, but we have failed on the fourth - so far.
"In a perfect world we want two strikers and maybe one more defender.
"As it is, we have 11 new players (with Ardley and Koskela) and we probably need two more which would exceed our original plan.
"We need two strikers who with the others can get no less than 40 goals.
"But at the moment we have consumed the money we have made available ourselves, the budget for the wages and the budget for buying.
"If you put those two budgets together and call it the 'football budget' then we have run out of money.
"We need to work very hard to get some money on the short-term market to be able to get the strikers we need.
"Also, we need to get three players out and that is not easy.
"But we are working very hard to do it."
Bringing any player to a club can take time, and the Bluebirds simply do not have that with their first game of the new campaign against Ipswich on Saturday.
Hammam anticipates that they may have to wait until nearer the end of the month to bring anyone in.
"We might have to go through August without them.
"It will be easier to get them in August because some clubs then realise their player is not going anywhere else.
"So we have to be patient.
"Because of that, I think we will have a slower start than we would like which really emphasises the timing of the sale of James Collins and Danny Gabbidon.
"Looking at it in hindsight I wish I had done it two or three weeks before I did.
"If we had done that we would be in a better position than we find ourselves now, but I couldn't bring myself to accept that Collins had to go.
"He had to go for us to be able to get all these players we are getting now because it was absolutely imperative that we changed a team that finished 16th and 13th in the last two years.
"Even if you were a football moron you would know that team was not going to go anywhere even though it included Kavanagh, Earnie, Gabbidon and Collins, so we really had to gut the team.
"When you do that you have to take chances which I did and it could have gone wrong.
"But I have taken a lot of chances in my five years here at Cardiff.
'Many of those chances went well for us, some did not and that will always be the case.
"But you count the most successful people in the world not by their number of successes, but by the number of failures."
