David Moyes 'massively frustrated' by Everton plans after source's reveal

Moyes will express frustration if Everton's owners refuse to spend in January, having been limited to £88m in the summer despite managing the smallest top-flight squad.

David Moyes is set to voice his frustration at Everton if The Friedkin Group refuse to invest in the squad during the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

Moyes was restricted in his summer recruitment, with Everton spending only £88m—among the lowest in the Premier League—and losing key players without adequate replacements. The club now has just 19 outfielders, the smallest first-team squad in the top flight, yet Moyes has guided Everton to 11th place and the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The Friedkin Group are only interested in loan signings and free transfers in January, according to sources. Moyes had hoped the new year window would provide an opportunity to strengthen the squad and push for European qualification. His position remains uncertain, with potential new owners at the club potentially looking to appoint their own manager. The Friedkin Group have invested significantly more in Roma than Everton, with owner Dan Friedkin yet to visit Liverpool since taking over in 2024.
