The Everton manager admitted he is despondent over a poor end to the season that has squandered the opportunity to qualify for Europe and demonstrated a lack of quality in the squad. “It’s shown it only takes a couple of your better players to lose form and your results can change,” he said.

But having competed at the right end of the table for the first time in several years, Moyes believes The Friedkin Group’s next moves will determine how far the team can progress. “A big summer might mean that we just make one really top signing that makes the difference to the team, it doesn’t necessarily mean we go out and buy six players,” said Moyes. “As a football club we need to show it [ambition].

I want the ownership to show that we are going again. I hope we can add to what we have got and excite the supporters a little bit more with what we are trying to do. “I know that Everton fans have had too many dark days over recent seasons.

This season showed a little bit of brightness. We have to build on that. We have to keep progressing and not thinking that we have done enough because we are not in relegation trouble.
