Statistics reveal that in the last 4 years, English side Everton have spent over 500 million euros in player purchase. Nonetheless, against the run of play, Everton have gone backwards instead of making significant moves forward.

Everton in comparison with other topflight teams

When being compared with other top-flight European teams, the statistics at Everton is frightening. So far, their net spending in these four years is about 213 million euros. Far larger that the net spending of the likes of Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich. Yet, there has been little or no improvement in the Everton side. This is one of the difficult truths in football to understand.

Everton's result – Against the run of play

The results and outputs of the Everton side have been clearly against the run of play. More often than not, we see teams having bad times, spend more and eventually get themselves good results. Many English pundits have gone on the question the ridiculous amounts they spent on the likes of Alex Iwobi, Gylfi Sigurdson as well as Davy Klaassen. Some have even suggested that those with these recommendations have some serious questions to answer.

Final thoughts

The desire of every team is to spend money and see results. So it can only be frustrating for the Everton executives not to be getting these results.No doubt, serious question would have to be asked about those who were responsible for making these player recommendations.
