Liverpool is entitled to invest money, according to David Moyes

In the upcoming 247th Merseyside derby, David Moyes returns to face his former team, Liverpool, a team he has always acknowledged as Everton's main rival. Moyes, who is currently managing Everton, has been open about the difficulty of bridging the gap between the two teams.

Everton is currently in a rebuilding phase after several difficult seasons. Moyes has been candid about the challenges his team faces in competing with Liverpool, which is currently the champions and a probable second favourite for the Champions League.

Liverpool's transfer spending this summer has been substantial, with a record-breaking £125m spent on Alexander Isak, breaking the British transfer record. This signing, along with several other high-profile acquisitions, has brought the total summer transfer spending at Liverpool to £450m. In contrast, Everton has spent approximately £63m in the last two seasons.

Moyes believes that teams must win and be in major competitions to spend substantial amounts on transfers. He acknowledges that Liverpool's transfer spending is justified as they have earned the right to do so. However, he does not envy Liverpool's large summer transfer spending.

Moyes' experience at West Ham allowed them to spend money and bring in funds through three years in Europe. Yet, Everton is not a favourite for major competitions, and Moyes is realistic about the challenges his team faces in competing with Liverpool.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has also brought in a significant amount of money through transfer fees and sales. The gulf between the two teams is evident, and Moyes understands that Everton must continue to work hard to close the gap.

Despite the challenges, Moyes remains optimistic about Everton's future. He is focused on rebuilding the team and improving their performance on the field. As the derby approaches, fans can expect a fierce and competitive match between two of the most storied teams in English football.
