Moyes hopes mega-rich owners just a trend

David Moyes believes the trend of mega-rich Premier League owners will one day be viewed as nothing more than a passing phase. As Moyes once again plots a summer bargain hunt with whatever funds chairman Bill Kenwright can afford to release, Portsmouth are getting ready to invest the cash provided by new owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim. With Mark Hughes preparing to invest significant sums from Manchester City's Abu Dhabi-based backers, Roman Abramovich determined to make Everton's FA Cup conquerors Chelsea a major Premier League force once more and the US-based owners at Manchester United and Liverpool ready to spend, Moyes will have his work cut out merely treading water at Goodison Park. But the Scot is happy to keep working with Kenwright, believing his enthusiastic boss is the right man to take Everton forward. "There is a lot to be said for having a chairman who is a supporter," he said. "You know what you are dealing with. Maybe in years to come, people will say there was a bit of fashion with all these foreign owners but now let's get back to basics and have people who love the club. "If it is going to keep being money, money, money, something is going to go wrong in the future. That is why people should be hoping someone breaks into the top four because it would alter the whole dynamics."
