Moyes in City blast
Everton, 11:45, August 15, 2009 ,
David Moyes has launched a withering attack on Mark Hughes at Manchester City for his "disgusting" pursuit of Joleon Lescott.
City boss Hughes has been looking to add a top quality centre-half to his new-look side all summer and has made two attempts to land Lescott over the past month - and claims to still be talking to Everton officials over a move.
Goodison boss Moyes, however, says the only person to talk to about Lescott's sale is himself and nobody has phoned him and nor does he want them to.
He said: "The dialogue has not taken place with Manchester City and Everton in the way that it is said to be.
"If it was, the dialogue would come to me.
"There has been no contact with me. I'm the person here who makes the decisions. I'm in control of Everton Football Club
"There has not been one call. It's disappointing."
"We have got a player who we really value and we want to keep," he added.
"We think the world of him and he can play two positions.
"We don't want to lose him yet he is being continually put in a position like he is at this moment in time.
"The way it has been handled is disgusting and all it has done is disrupted our club.
"Garry Cook (City's executive chairman) has had one conversation with Bill (Kenwright, the Everton chairman).
"Brian Marwood (City's football administrator) has had one conversation with Bill, so I don't know who the ongoing conversations are supposed to be with unless Manchester City are talking to someone they shouldn't be."
