From what I have read today it seems to me that money is the main issue. Anton been talking a big game, it's time to deliver !

What do you class as "big"?

At Champ level c.2m is a big feel. You also don't know how much it cost in terms of signing-on fees and wages to attract them all. Ask any fan of any other club in the league which club has been the most ambitious in the market so far they'd answer 'Reading'.

5m+. If we want to survive in the Prem, assuming we get promoted we need 3 good transfer windows which starts now, it has been brilliant so far but we are falling way behind other Premier League clubs of our size, Swansea/Norwich etc.

No, I think you are.

PL clubs are going to generate >£90m in revenue this season. We can't come close to competing with that, no matter how ambitious Anton is.

He does not need that amount of revenue to sign one top striker for a big fee. Signing someone like Sharp would be a short term cheap move.

He's not reaaaallly spent much on transfers as of yet, though. Would like to see him actually put his hand in his pocket proper like.

:| You said we're falling way behind other Premier League clubs of our size, Swansea/Norwich etc. We're not a Premier League club, of course we're falling behind them. They didn't bring in anywhere near the calibre of player we've signed this season when they were in the Championship. If/when we go up and we're still not spending big, then you might have a point.

Yes, and we've signed the likes of Drenthe, Williams, and Bridge. They didn't.
