The approx. two year period we didn't buy a single player must have been less of a nightmare for those people.
Pretty sure it wasn't "a bit of both" on that one but maybe I'm wrong. I bet BK was begging him to spend but Moyes was unrelenting in his desire to not spend anything.
"If our yearly net spend ever goes over 1m I'm off" he'd tell BK.
"Won't you please spend a bit of the board's money David ... I'm begging you! I have it all here in a giant sack. Cash!"
"NO! Get that huge pile of money out of my face!"
Bit of both for sure.
Seriously though he knew if he could be a giant prick in negotiations and get 10% extra off (or 10% extra for outgoings) that extra cash might be his only transfer kitty for the next window. So he was slow and deliberate and got the best deal he could. I'd have been the same way with this board full of super rich people with no money.
Regardless ... onwards and upwards lads. He's gone and he's trying to steal our best player. That's all I really care about to do with him right now.

Imo the ginger whopper's rightly conservative in his purchases from his experiences with medicals, and trying to drive the price down by the seller being desperate to shift as the window's about to close, but has become too dogmatic with it, and for Manure it may be a dangerous game to play, where the team needs to gel and be competitive from the off to retain the league, and saving 20mil on a couple of transfers isn't all that.
You lost me at that redundant claptrap, pal.
We aren't "punching above our weight".
Every one of the teams which finished below us this season, with the exception of Liverpool and Villa, have played Championship football in this century.
So how were we "punching above our weight"?
What does that even mean in fotball terms anyway.
Under Moyes, Everton were no better than they should have been.

Didnt realise that. Good stat.
I was, and largely still am, a bit Moyes fan, but he isn't our manager any more. Martinez has brought in some new players, and hopefully they'll do well for us. None have really cost much thus far so I'll be interested to see how the rest of the window pans out, and importantly whether we lose any players before the end, either because we can't keep them or need to balance the books.
Either way, I'm looking forwad to the start of the season. I just hope fans are patient with him and give him a bit of time.

I would be interested to know if Berto is a bit tougher with Bill than moist was, but its all conjecture isn't it, a few more transfer windows with both managers at their current clubs and maybe we can have a pop
