David Moyes will use Everton as his model as he attempts to build a bright new future at Sunderland.
The 53-year-old Scot spent 11 years at Goodison Park and worked patiently to establish the Toffees in the top half of the Premier League table and took them into Europe despite working to relatively modest budgets.
On Monday evening, he will welcome Everton to the Stadium of Light, where he is hoping to do the same thing with the Black Cats, and he knows it could take just as long.
Moyes said: 'We are not going to be the biggest spenders, we are going to have to take time to attract the level of player here that we want and as long as everybody is aware it's going to be at least three or four transfer windows, it's going to take time.
