Somebody on 365 footy has a bee in the bonnet

Th Everton Myth
I don't know what it is about the media and their attitude towards Everton. But they have somehow managed to Jedi mind-tricked every f*cker who talks about them.

How does David Moyes do it? They don't have a pot to p*** in. Well...

Howard £3m. Jagielka £4m. Distin £5m. Heitinga £6mil. Baines £6m. Neville £3.5m. Gibson £2m. Pienaar £4.5m. Felliani £13m. Marallas £6m. Jelavic £6m.

Now that potential starting XI cost a whopping £60million to assemble. So if you are wondering how a top-ten club, with top-ten players, with a top-ten budget, with a top-ten manager manage to finish inside the top ten every season with a slight challenge for the European places....then common f***ing sense should tell you how. It's not a miracle. It is what it is. WAKE UP! I am sick of Moyes getting over-the-top praise for finishing in the top ten, on the whole, for ten years. He finished fourth once, but that is instantly challenged with a 17th place to go against it.

Also, for those canny people who will say well they sold Lescott for £24million and Arteta for £10mil to pay for a lot of the above...well those two players cost £5mil to add onto the signings of Yakubu £12m, Bilyaletniov £10m (sold for £6m), Andy Johnson £9m, Kroldup £5m and Saha £4m in recent years for not a lot of recuperation.

Moyes is not a messiah, he is a good manager at a top-ten club...who by the way has won f*** all. In ten years of stability for a club like Everton, I would say that is a disapointment if anything.

Does he need a hug?

Fair point actually. I'm sure that two thirds of the league would love to be able to spend £5.3m per position on average.

He mentions Lescott and Arteta but fails to put in Rooney and Rodwell who brought in over 40m

The fact is we have a net spend of 32m since the Prem started 20 years ago, Compare that to these net spends

Liverpools 295m
Sunderlands 90m
Spurs 170m
Fulham 90m
Stoke 55m
Newcastle 101m

Hardly a top 10 budget
 
He ain't far wrong to be honest.

The media constantly go on about liitle Everton and the miracle Moyes works with no money when in fact he has spent money over the years.

Just not as much as his peers and virtually all of it came from having to sell players from his squad.

Been tough and he's done well but he isn't the best manager in the world doing the best job.

A kopite, without a shadow of doubt.

Our net spend for Moyes' first ten years puts us 14th:
http://www.sportingintelligence.com...ecade-puts-them-9th-in-premier-league-120802/

Only £100k behind Newcastle and £5.5m behind Arsenal surprisingly. Wigan and Swansea probably deserve the biggest plaudits for playing such attractive football on a net spend of less than £13m. In fact the Swans will now be well in credit thanks to the sales of Allen and Sinclair.
 

18.7 Net Spend in 11 Years.

Not even gonna go any further really, infact im just gonna copy and paste this from now, I wont be saying anything else EVER again on here.
