Net spend of £45m is hardly shoe string budget though like everyone is trying to make.
They also sold Lescott to City for an inflated price so you might as good as take this one out, so it's closer to £70m

You can count ronaldo/lescott, or you can count neither but still Everton have spent about a quarter of what Man U spent in the pass years.
On top of transfer fees Everton also can't afford the high wages some of the top teams pay.
In modern day football 45mil in 10 years is a shoe string budget, it gets you maybe 2 top players in 10 bloody years.
There's a 9 figure a year revenue guys like Man U, Real, Barca, or 9 figure a year injection like Chelsea, Man city. Then there's the other little guys (financially speaking).
And to say Moyes is shit is bullocks, for his budget he's done a great job.
Not to mention from a Man U prospective he's top 3 as SAF's replacement.
look at the betting odds and what SAF said.
Moyes is good enough for SAF but shit for you? Nice one.
