Cash not always the answer - Hart
Portsmouth boss Paul Hart believes Everton manager David Moyes is proof you do not need deep pockets to threaten the Premier League's financial heavyweights.
The Fratton Park outfit tackle big-spending Manchester City on Sunday, hoping to pick up their first league points of the season.
He said: "If you look at Everton over the past few years, it has taken them a while. But on a limited budget they've brought in a group of players that are hard-working and organised - and they have threatened."
He added: "If you spoke to any manager outside the top four, they would say that given the sort of money City have, they may be able to challenge. But David Moyes has done it without."
Pompey have had a manic two days in the transfer market and have recruited Tommy Smith, Michael Brown, and Kevin Prince-Boateng.
They have also sealed loan deals for Lens striker Aruna Dindane and Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara.
Hart grew up supporting City on the Maine Road terraces, idolising the likes of Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell.
But he believes his boyhood club's current crop of stars face a huge battle to break into the Premier League's top four this term.
He said: "Money doesn't always buy success - you have to work at it.
"There is an expectation that goes with spending £200 million and I would think they will be expecting to finish in the top four. In the company of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, that will be tough. I don't think anyone has the God-given right to be up there."
