We were only able to pay these extra wages due to the high finish of the teams Moyes built, not the other way round. Moyes wasn't given the funds build quality then pay it back with the finishes, he had a poor team, made it good then paid them appropriately. Otherwise we would still be paying a low wage for a poor team.
Getting us into Europe earnt us money to pay more wages, that doesn't make a better player, we didn't get Coleman because we offered 90k a week.
More to do with the 36,000 fans at goodison vs 20,000-25,000 fans at other stadiums which is about £15-20m per season more.....
Getting us into Europe earned us relative peanuts, the europa league isn't worth a fraction of the champions league especially when you factor in the extra resource needed.
