Interesting to see Newcastle right up there with West Ham just languishing behind. It shows that throwing money around doesn't automatically translate to success on the pitch. We're in 9th position which similarly shows that the club is doing very well considering our budget.

Dont shout that too loudely, some people who are prepared to splash the cash are looking for a new manager right now!:blink:
Might be worth considering this thread in conjunction with this one - http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7111 - moral of the story being that you shouldn't spend money you don't have.

Hopefully Moyes is canny enough to know that unless he's offered a job at the top four, then the cash windfalls are rarely maintained after a season or so (look at West Ham and Newcastle who are pretty much skint now). The Tottenham job seems to me to be the only possible one that can be seen as having potential to spend money on a season by season basis (given progression in the league). If Moyes thinks things are so much more green on the other side, then he's mistaken in my opinion. Plus, this is his team, the one he's built, with players that know and respect him. Barring a catastrophe, I think he'll be here for some time yet.

I have no doubts he will stay,a lot of clubs would have sacked him for having a bad season as they are quick to hire and quick to fire here he has the board and majority of fans behind him even if the lack of backing must frustrate him.

Alternative moral of story: We appear to have a wages ceiling in place at Everton that ties Moyes hands in his quest to make the club a success. Quite frankly if anyone isn't shocked and dismayed that a club like Everton is only the 9th highest payer of wages in an industry made up entirely of mercenary players and their agents then they need to exaine what ambition they have as a football supporter in England's Premier League.
Success isn't just competing and getting a nice pat on the head for finishing 5th and remaining fiscally prudent....well, it might be to an accountant.

Here's another link which compares spending on wages to other top European leagues. It's no wonder that every player wants to 'test' himself in the PL.

Begining of the new century onward the EPL accelerates away in terms of wages....and also starts its domination of the latter stages of the Champions League. Figures.

When Everton won the First Division title in 1984-85, a typical XI would have been Southall, Stevens, Van Den Hauwe, Ratcliffe, Mountfield, Reid, Steven, Heath, Sharp, Bracewell and Sheedy, with plenty of appearances as well for some bloke called Andy Gray.
The top scorer in domestic football was a Leciester City striker called Gary Lineker, in his final season with the Foxes before a big money move to Everton. He got 24 First Division goals that season, the same as Chelsea’s Kerry Dixon.
Liverpool were runners-up in the league, followed by Tottenham, Manchester United and those other mid-80s big-punchers, Southampton, with Chelsea and Arsenal tucked in behind in sixth and seventh.
The rewards on offer to top players were obviously decent. Figures published for the first time today show that top division players in England earned a basic average of £480 per week (£25,000 a year), which was more than double what the average worker earned, and which was three times as much as players earned in the Fourth Division.
It should be stressed: the gap between the top division and the fourth was only three times as much. Today the difference is 30 times as much.
As we report elsewhere Sportingintelligence has obtained an official PFA document showing the average basic weekly wages, division by division, for the past 25 years.
The table below sets out the basic weekly wages and the difference between the top division and each of the rest.
The ratio between the First Division when Lineker was a Fox and the other divisions was 1.61 to 1 compared to the Second Division, 2.21 to 1 compared to the Third and 3 to 1 compared to the Fourth.
By the time the Premier League started (1992) it was 1.89 to 1, 3.53 to 1 and 4.63 to 1, which is getting bigger but not anywhere as extreme as it would become.
Now it’s 5.51 to 1, 15.85 to 1 and 29.92 to 1.

It's a perfect example of capitalism, where the rich are greedy and not content with what they have, want more.
