Player Valuation: £150m
Exactly. The model was in place and working well enough. Koeman was the big switch = and he squandered the cash from selling our family silver on slow and / or limited players.Whatever one things of Moyes/Martinez they sort of suited the club in many ways and had both geeked out a certain niche. Lots of problems with both, but it's forgotten even Martinez's final season we got to 2 semi finals (and were extra time away from winning the cup that season as we'd have defeated Palace).
Neither manager were backed with any funds close to the teams above them.
The model wasn't perfect. It wasn't the Everton of our forefathers, or of being the dominant team, but it was working quite well. We ripped it up and undid all the positives that were there in the process.
Silva and Brands are slowly trying to pitch it all back together again.
Without a moment's hesitation I have him down as the worst manager in our modern history - the cash spent clinches it.
