Brendan Rodgers says that spending money doesn't always lead to results.
Over the past six years, the team has spent more than 500 million dollars on players, but they are still just three points away from the bottom.
On Wednesday, they hostLeicester.
It has been well documented that a lot of money has been spent, but if it doesn't all join up then it doesn't really matter.
It is frustrating for the supporters because it is a huge club and the investment has been huge.
The former manager sympathizes with the recent downturn in fortune.
He said that it was difficult because he was there at the time when Roberto Martinez was doing well with them.
I think Frank will do well as a manager. The overall vision of the club is so important that he went in with a good team of coaches.
With eight matches to play, and games in hand on the teams below them, it is important for the Toffees to win against Rodgers' side to move six points clear of the drop zone.
The managerless Clarets are playing on Thursday.
