Southampton chief exec Martin Semmens says market plans are underway.
Semmens also says fresh investors are also being sought.
Speaking on the Total Saints Podcast, Semmens said: “I think we'd like to have a different structure to what we have now.
“We've been pretty close to doing it a few times. Things are on the table, things could happen. Making sure we have the right person is important."
Chairman Gao Jisheng has been tight on the purse-strings for Saints' budget.
However, Semmens did confirm that the club are planning for transfer business in January.
He added: “Yes there always is (plans for business in the January window). We have to see how we're playing, which injuries we have."
