They were drunk on spending - spending the club's once in a generation cash...generated by player sales, btw - and thought the Dutch divvy knew what he was doing with it all.
I remember being told loads of times here: "no dave, this are the going rate market prices....what are you moaning for that we're spending £30M on average for our new players, it's just what everyone is doing".
No they weren't. They were laughing at a club throwing away it's precious reserves of cash like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Now we have AUSTERITY EVERTON. As predicted.
Still, what do we know eh? We're just moaners.
