Everton manager David Moyes this week celebrated 10 years in charge of the Merseyside club. Apart from celebrating it with a 3-0 derby-loss to Liverpool he was also in the spotlight after some comments in the Sunday Express where he called for drastic changes in football to secure the future of the sport.
The Toffees' long-serving manager has several times pointed out that clubs have a responsibility to safeguard the long-term future and to the Sunday Express he stated that: "Everyone in the Premier League should take a 20% pay cut to put football finances back on an even keel and allow a significant reduction in ticket prices to make football more affordable for the ordinary fan”. With financial problems of late including clubs such as Rangers, Portsmouth and Port Vale he’s got some good points.
Moyes himself is also in a club who’s struggling financially where he’s been forced to work on a tight budget during the majority of his ten years in charge at Goodison Park. In relation to this however, it’s quite interesting to see that a recent report places Moyes among world football's top earning managers (http://bit.ly/yg06Ow). Moyes was listed on twelfth place with £3 million per annum in a club struggling financially. I guess Everton could welcome a 20% pay cut then from Mr Moyes to spend on new players?
