How long until the "lack of finances" excuse comes out?
Moyes. And yes it does work if you have listened to him over the past 10 years. If it goes wrong his failsafe is to blame the lack of funds. He cannot do that at united so will be interesting to hear his excuses.
They've got the 7th largest budget so it's hardly Florence Nightingale stuff. A club of Everton's size should have won a trophy at the very least. Even Wigan have.
I get the argument that he could have won a trophy. Whether Everton fans would swap an FA Cup win and relegation for top half of the table stability is a question for them. Perhaps he's not a cup manager, arguably Fergie wasn't, but his league record over the past few years has been impressive. I think everyone knows that and it's why Liverpool fans in particular dislike him. Since the 2006/7 season Everton's net spend has been £2million. Liverpool's has been £142million and Everton are currently the top team on Merseyside.
A few other comparables:
Arsenal - £40million profit (amazing really)
Fulham - £26million spend
Stoke - £80million spend
Sunderland - £88million spend
Man United - £88million spend
Aston Villa - £92million spend
Chelsea - £233million spend
Man City - £427million spend
Not sure where you get the 7th largest budget theory from DL!

You've filed to take into consideration wage bill, which on average costs more than transfers.

I'd imagine their wage bill is far lower than sixth or seventh highest though.
Watford and NOF, I stand corrected, Everton are about 9th on the wage bill.

Where are Wigan,Swansea,Birmingham? They managed to win trophies with much less than BA Moyes had to work with.
