Takeover rumour

Yes...along with the Utaka deal, and Everton getting 21,000 tickets in total...

Utaka deal he was spot on with.

We were after Utaka before he went to Portsmouth. Ever notice the constant digs Moyes tends to give Portsmouth for spending out of their means and "they got their day in the sun with the FA cup but now their struggling".

I wonder why? They offered silly wages.

Moyes:

He told the Sunday Express: "I think what happened at Portsmouth and West Ham in recent times was a danger to football.
"They bought players and gave them big wages. That made it difficult for clubs like Everton because we would try to get similar players but they blew us out with higher wages, far more than Everton could afford.
"It upset the whole market. Now they are backing off and selling players because they paid them higher wages than maybe they should have.
"In truth, the people who went into those clubs are now either one down, or bankrupt, or can't afford to pay the wages.
"Now Portsmouth might say, 'We had our day in the sun. We won the FA Cup and we don't really care'.
"But I think those sort of clubs are the ones which have disrupted the wages in the Premier League."

Andy definitely wouldn't make it up - what would he have to gain from it? I and others on here know him personally, he wouldn't open himself up to stick.

As ive said all along, I didnt believe the story, but I do believe he was told something that he thought was going to happen, not his fault I suppose.

Its easy when the owner wishes to sell.

This would help to be fair.
