I see three or four key spends - mixture of bad planning and bad luck- the first spend in 2017 wasn't well planned and loads of money wasted. The team quickly needed reshaping. Loads of money on average players

That winter, we spent the best part of 50M in transfer fees and added 10M per year to the wage bill with Tosun and Walcott. Both left for free. Another 80-90M or so down the drain for a dozen decent performances.

The third was after Gueye left, we bought three midfielders to replace him. Delph, Gbamin and Gomes for >50M and 10-15M extra on the wage bill. All three were crippled by injuries over the following season(s), and we ended up bringing in Allan and Doucoure in to get immediate improvement. Both will have finished their Everton careers by this summer having cost everton 75M or so. Bad strategy buying players with no sell on value when we were in that situation.
Very bad strategy. The vast majority of our players leaving the club recently have been free, or a minimal fee. It’s been by a shockingly bad way to run a business.

We have also had to bear the cost of repeatedly sacking and replacing management teams.
