To put as simple a point on things as possible, Everton need to spend their money better in the future.
The Blues found themselves embroiled in a sometimes-toxic relegation battle last season as years of failures came back to haunt them. A mish-mash of a squad, made up of players on inflated wages without the consistent quality to match - realistically that moment was always going to come unless something changed.
Compare it to the strategy under David Moyes and things couldn't look more drastically different. Of course his squad eventually found a ceiling, but the manner in which the accrued new talent over the course of his long tenure at Goodison Park was something that many admired.
