Ex-Everton No2 Irvine: Moyes will work with limited transfer budget

Former Everton No2 Alan Irvine is confident David Moyes won't throw a wobbler over a limited transfer budget.

Irvine, who also played for the Blues between 1981 and 1984, believes Moyes will not let frustration of Everton's financial constraints sap his enthusiasm for the task of improving on the club's seventh place finish last term.

"He knows the situation. He understands there's not a lot of money, and that he isn't in the same position as other wealthier clubs," he told the Liverpool Echo. "You can either get all upset and resentful, or just get on with it and do the best job you can.

"That's Davie's approach. The biggest thing for any manager is to know what you have got.

"When you know what market you are shopping in you will work according to it.

"The difficult thing is when you don't know how much money you have got and then that becomes really tough, because you can find yourself looking at players you can't afford and it's a wasted exercise."
