David Moyes expresses surprise at Everton's owners' views on last season
Summary

David Moyes stated his surprise regarding Everton owners the Friedkin Group's disappointment over missing European qualification last season, labeling it a 'failure.' In a recent interview, CEO Angus Kinnear emphasized the owners' competitive aspirations. Moyes, however, indicated that expectations for last season focused more on successfully transitioning to a new stadium rather than achieving immediate European goals. He called for additional player signings ahead of the transfer deadline to enhance the squad's competitiveness. The team's mixed fortunes in the transfer market have prompted calls for improvements, including fan-favorite players like Iliman Ndiaye. Everton looks ahead as the transfer window closes.
