Everton Boss David Moyes Calls For New Investment But Insists That He Is Happy With The Club’s Current Owners

Everton manager David Moyes has insisted that the club do not need a change of ownership but has admitted that investment is required for the club to reach the next level.

The former Preston boss feels that the right individuals are already in place at the club but accepts that new funding should be a priority at Goodison Park.

“New ownership isn’t always the solution to everything.” Moyes told The Guardian.

“What you want is the right people and the right people are already at Everton.

“We don’t need new owners, we need new money. But if you want new money, that tends to come with new owners.”

The 47-year-old Scot has managed to work miracles on a limited budget during his time at the club and has stated that the club could be “very good” without significant investment.

He said: “We don’t need new owners, we need an investment of money.

“Everton could be very close to being very good for not an awful lot of outlay. It might not be one of those clubs that needs £300m-£400m to turn it around.

“The stadium needs investment obviously, but maybe one side can be developed to start with. I’m not sure, something like that.”

Moyes feels fresh funds would also improve the team on the pitch, adding: “Maybe the football team doesn’t need £100m.

“Maybe the football team needs an amount that would give it a chance to breathe again and grow a little bit more. That’s maybe why we don’t need a zillionaire.”
