Everton boss David Moyes admits he needs to break their trophy drought to satisfy the fans.

Moyes led his side to an FA Cup final last year for the first time since 1995 but they fell to Chelsea despite taking an early lead.

And he believes that while he may have overseen improvements over the years, unless a trophy appears in the cabinet he will not have achieved anything.

"I don't think I could be remembered for anything at the moment, because I haven't won anything," he said in the Daily Mirror.

"I don't have a cup in front of me. I see Howard Kendall and Joe Royle around the place and both were great managers who brought trophies to Everton. Hopefully the period under me has been an improvement for the club - not just the team, but the whole structure.

"I think people look at Everton and think: 'There's a good club who haven't spent a great deal of money in a difficult time.' Hopefully they say the manager has done it with a bit of humility and dignity, but what I want more than anything is to lift one of those silver things."

Moyes has had to work under a tight budget since arriving at the club from Preston in 2002 but thinks he has built a team capable of success.

He added: "I find you have to win - even at Everton, with what we've got, we have to believe we are the best, and I do.

"I want to make us the best that I can but disappointments come in football and it comes with all football clubs. We are going to have plenty because we are not quite at the top. I knew when I arrived there weren't going to be big finances at Everton, as the club needed a period of stability.

"We have managed to loosen the restraints a little but I have always wanted to keep the best players: 'Let me build a team, keep the best players, give them the best I can, prepare them the best I can and make them feel good.'

"We have spent a little bit, but our spending has been quite tight and relatively small compared to that of the Premier League."
