Your husband must have his own seperate account showing the money he has going in and out.
The only disadvantage of opening a new account and putting a lump sun in it, will make the ECO suspicious, and he will think that your husband has just put this amount in just before making an application.
I would advise you to get your husband to open a new account, and then transfer the money from the joint account into the new one. Once he has done this, then provide a bank statement of the new amount as well as copies of statements from the joint account, and just tell the ECO that your husband shut his joint account and transfered the money into his new sole account. This way he is more likely to believe you.
ps
Try to open a new account in the same bank rather than a different one.
