Ronald Koeman has looked back on his difficulties as Everton manager and claimed it was "difficult" for him to bring top players to the club despite their money.
The Dutchman became Blues manager in 2016 and led the side to seventh in the Premier League after his first campaign. However, a poor beginning to the 2017/18 season meant that he was given his marching orders - with his final match being a humbling 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal in October 2017.
The future Netherlands and Barcelona manager presided over what has been widely regarded as one of the worst transfer windows in the club's history in 2017, and claimed that he struggled to bring quality players to the club thanks to competition from elsewhere in the Premier League.
