Moyes Bitch Slaps Hughes on SSN

[McBain]

"But I look back and I look at the way Real Madrid did their business with Manchester United;

done right at the end of the season, done quickly, allows Manchester United to buy if they want to do so.

What the?

its quite obvious that moyes and taggart are mates and will stick up for each other but if moyes thinks man u are great and do everything by the book then he needs to goto specsavers.

after moyes rant today and if lescott signs for us then how daft is he going to look ?

it seems that moyes aint spoken to the chairman and he needs to to resolve this or even your chairman coming out and saying he aint spoken or is in discussions with city and that will make hughes look a cnut.

come on mr chairman come out and deny city are in talks with you and put this to bed please.

But Lescott won't sign for you, that was the whole point of the rant. He's saying that no players will get sold without his permission and he's not giving it.

If I say I'm going down the town to buy some bread and I get there and realise that actually I don't have any money then yes I would look like a fool. But since I actually do have money thats no reason to not tell people that I like to eat bread.

It's already been put to bed. End of.

Kenwright doesn't have to do anything. He said months ago that it's up to moyes who stays and goes, moyes has reconfirmed that. Our chairman going over the managers head would make the manager leave.

Anything that happens goes with his say so.

That's not to say if you's hit us with 25 to 30mill we wouldn't say no. But the likelyhood of that happening is slim. 20 mill isn't going to be enough.

I've said somewhere else that you's might as well go for someone else, someone cheaper, and save the hassel cos anything that happens now will get messy

 

[bluemooner_mcfc]

ok then lads....

what if your shareholders are not happy about this one time offer of say £25m being knocked back ?

i just dont like the way this has got really messy and i dont blame moyes by the way i blame most of it on city but i also believe they are being encouraged by someone at everton and not just lescott or his bad advisors either.

you might see next week it all calm down because im sure city will have a plan c.d,e and wont drag there heals too much if they get a firm NO from someone at everton because theres not much time left till the window closes.

Our shareholders know what happens if Lescott is sold without Moyes say so. So dont worry yourself.

Moyes has told you, its up to him, speak to him if you wanna deal, nobody else.

and thats how it should be with the manager saying who stays and goes mate.

but with the new culture of owners it doesnt work like that and they go and get what they want and i cant blame eveton for saying get stuffed because ive said it before i wish we had the balls to do it when we sold SWP to chelsea even though we needed the cash.

at the end of the dau SWP and lescott wanted out for the same reason which is money and thats the way its going now like it or not which i dont and if moyes/your chairman say no and lescott stays then lescott hasnt got an option but to play well otherwise he wont be in the world cup squad and if everton finish top4 then im sure he wont feel good with himself for wanting to move to city because im also sure he will be rewarded with a new contract.

Moyes explained that he was the sole decision maker at Everton when it comes to player movement, and that there was no chance of him allowing the defender to leave, with City having already had two bids rejected this summer.

The Blues boss was responding to Mark Hughes' recent comments that City were still trying to 'speak to the people who will ultimately make the decision over whether the deal continues'.

Moyes said at his Friday press conference: "There's no dialogue between anyone at Everton and Manchester City, unless Manchester City are talking to someone who they shouldn't be.

"It is certainly not me. They said they are trying to talk to the people who make the decisions at Everton, well at this football Club I make the decisions. I have control of the football club so they know who to phone and I've not had a call, so they must be talking to the wrong people."

The Goodison chief was asked by journalists if he was disappointed with the way City's interest has unfolded.

"Definitely," he replied. "We wouldn't do our business in public, we would go to the right people. We have said all along we don't want to sell Joleon Lescott.

"The offer was never big enough - we rate Joleon that highly, we think the world of him as a centre half and as a left back. He gives us two players in one. They paid £12m for Gareth Barry with one year left on his contract but Joleon has considerably more than that left.

"We have had four weeks of ongoing dialogue and it's been through the media, it's not been directed through me and I make the decisions here. There's not been one call through me and I think the way the business has been handled has been disgusting. All it's done is disrupt our football club and make it very difficult for us."

Moyes also admitted that the situation has taken its toll on Lescott himself, who handed in a transfer request earlier this week.

"He has been distracted, obviously," continued Moyes. "The boy's in a little bit of turmoil with the way that things of gone, but he's been consistently told by the manager that we won't be selling him.

"So he should get his head around it and get on with his job. Maybe other people are telling him different. The fans gave him great support (against Malaga) and that's what we want. They saw that the decision we were making was right, and hopefully they still see that."

Having addressed the Lescott issue, Moyes then moved on to talk about adding players to his squad. He revealed that he hopes to add new faces sooner rather than later.

"We have got 13 or 14 players which I am happy with and we have some up-and-coming youngsters as well which gives us great hope," he said. "I hope maybe within the next 48 hours or so we will have a couple of new players added to the squad. If we do that then we will start to rebuild from the players we lost last season."


Pretty clear that, guess you should start looking at these b,c,d options, unless you want to pay £30m.

I dont care about Lescott tbh but the way Hughes has gone about this and indeed all of his deals this summer has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I always though of him as a decent chap but the way he first tried to tap Terry and now this nonsense is classless to say the least.

As i say i would have thought he was above it tbh but it just goes to show you doesnt it?

The only person that has to say no is lescott himself, which because he handed a transfer request in gives citeh all they need to pursue him no matter what the club says. That's what happened with terry wasn't it? Made 2 bids and still pursude him till he said I'm not going.

The club can't stop citeh pursuing a player who's said he'd like to move. All they can do is say no till citeh stop.

But like I say, I wouldn't be surprised if he went if citeh threw 25to30mill at us. Which we all know they won't cos if they did the end of football just took a further step closer.

ive already said before tonight i would have been looking elsewhere mate.

it will be interesting what the reception lescott gets tomorrow but iveno doubt he will play as he normally does.

 

[Goat]

Mixed it will be. Its all about him to honest, if he struts and gives it the big man hes gonna get slated, but if he looks like he should, which is embaressed, he might get off lightly.

But that's the thing...the owners wouldn't do that unless they want the person who is everton football club at the moment in moyes to leave.

Moyes has a budget and has to stick with that, hes relativly happy. If the board sold lescott they would basically have to give every penny to moyes and begged him to stay. The board wouldn't make a penny out of it if they wanted to keep moyes.

It's also too late in the game to be selling players with our squad

i can see us throwing say £20m plus either ned or richards on loan which i wont be pleased about but im not hughes's biggest fan so i wouldnt put it past him TBH.

i thought jag spoke good common sense today on SSN and it seems the everton players are doing all they can to get lescott to stay.

can you see everton offering lescott a new contract like chelsea did with terry ?

 

[Goat]

No, I cant. Hes got 4 and half years left, the ball is sitting in our court.
