For that reason I admire the bloke, and cant dislike him for not wanting to sell us one of his best defender. It will be sad for football and Everton FC, if its him who as resigned, and it will only be because of the above

That cannot be argued but the fact that he did exactly the same with Lescott at Wolves when they said he was not for sale but caved in to the weight of dough being thrown at them, makes him a hyprocryte of the highest order. He has too many similarities to Taggart IMO and I wouldn't slash on Taggart if he was on fire. The only liquid I would throw on him in that scenario, would be petrol.

Wouldn't surprise me, but then again wouldn't be that surprised to learn that it's true and that he has walked out!!!

Liverpoool in turmoil means no top 4 for them, Chumps league here comes city!!!

It's not that he wants to keep his defender, that much is fine. It's the fact he is gaining image mileage out of denying the evil oil barons from swooping in and taking who we want.

We put a bid in, they came out and published it just to say they turned us down.
We put another bid in, they did the same.
We didn't put a bid in, they come out and set a fucking ridiculous price.
Hughes mentions he has to talk to the people who can make the deal happening(I thought he meant Cook and his crew) Moyes takes offence and says HE is the one Hughes should be talking to, even though Hughes doesn't negotiate himself.

Moyes has seeked out any opportunity to create and then take the moral highground here, he is as bad as Berlusconi was in january if not worse.

I follow this line and predict him holding a City shirt within 48 hrs subject to personal (which are hard to agree!!) and passing a medical
