Direct report from a friend - fellow Toffee and Yank
I was at the Globe Pub on tuesday night when Moyes and the players (Cahill, Ossie, Vaughan and Howard) took questions from Everton's PR man (fluffy ones, like "how great is the atmosphere at Goodison on European nights ?") and then from the floor (with no screening process).
The first question from the floor was shouted up by two different people at exactly the same time, "Davey when are you signing your contract ??"
He said that he expects to sign next week but that he wanted to make sure that he had committments from the Club that he would get the support that he needs to carry out his plan before he signed anything.
There was one "controversial" question from the floor midway through this hour long session and that was why did he sell AJ ?
Moyes' response was that AJ wanted to go, this was met with some heckling that some fans in the room had met AJ in Switzerland last week and he said that he didn't want to leave. Moyes gave him the steeley glare and said "well that's your version and I just gave you mine"
There are not too many managers in the Premier League nowadays that would attend a Q and A with fans in a bar and answer any questions that were presented to them on anything. It just goes to show you, if you have nothing to hide you can face anybody ...
