Hodgson made a profit of roughly £8million in the summer transfer market after allowing Javier Mascherano to move to Barcelona in a £20million deal.
The Reds chief said: “I would hope so but I don’t know. I don’t know what funds I have for January.
“I don’t know quite how much [was available in August] – but with the limited amount of time at our disposal and the very limited market it wouldn’t have been possible for me to find the striker I wanted anyway.
“The situation with the club’s funds is extremely complicated and it would be very foolish for me to start making statements on that front.
“Perhaps by January the club will be under new ownership and I’ll have to see what the new ownership has in mind.”
