This summer has proven to be an expensive one around the EPL. Manchester City and Liverpool have been breaking spending records during the off season. Even Sunderland have spent somewhere in the region of £23 million this transfer window. They finished 10th in the Premiership last season.Everton finished seventh. Their current amount spent during this transfer window: 0. With total debts exceeding £45 million and the bank refusing to loan any more cash, Everton are this year's EPL pauper club.
Everton have finished no lower than eighth in each of the last six seasons. David Moyes, without a doubt one of the EPL's finest managers, will quite literally need to walk on water to keep this club in the top half of the league this year. The mood around Goodison Park is more dire than it has been in many a year. A Cinderella story of a season and European qualification would do the sport some good, where the penniless good guy still gets to win in the end. Not likely... but what a story!
