That's not the issue.

If you look into the FA & Fifa rules regarding tapping up, once a team has declared (publicly or otherwise) that one of their players is not for sale - interested clubs have to break off the chase.

Everton may have made the deal public, but when it was turned down, Hughes, Cook et al. were legally required to cease any mentioning of Lescott, even in passing.

All the stories about how his wages were to be tripled came out after the initial rebuttal, if Moyes can prove that information was leaked from someone at City rather than being mere journalistic speculation, there could be a case to answer for.

Lots of ifs & buts, it's a murky area typical of FA legislation.

But - the fact that it was Everton that publicised the interest is completely irrelevant regarding any potential tapping up charges that could be argued as having occurred afterwards.

So no, they're not as thick as a lot of people are assuming.

They will not have proof that those figures were leaked by City. The papers make up their own figures. He's been reportedly offered anywhere between 50 and 100k per week if you believe them. The '3 X' figure would be based on Wayne Bridge's wage of 90k per week, not on any leak from City. I think this is all just posturing from Everton to appease their fans about the sale of one of their best players to a supposed rival. If they'd just let him go without a fight then Kenwright would have all but confirmed that he doesn't want to try and take the club further.

haha yup. Bless him. He has filled his summer with this transfer and its a failure of epic proportions on Evertons behalf.

Anyone genuinely believe the deal is for £24 million?

If it is £24m, it's been great thinking of all those that went on about how he would never be sold. But we've been ripped off, pure and simple.
 
lol everton fans are idiots for example

'I fear Lescott will be the final nail in Mark 'arrogant basta*d Hughes's coffin! - 100m spent in one summer and they struggle to turn Wolves over. What a circus - citeh the new toon'

I'm just wondering if the posters who have asked for this thread to be locked are still reading it!

"Oh look, there's another post on the Lescott thread, 'click' ....... DOH! ............ Hmm! Another post 'click ..... DOH!"
 
Lets be honest regardless of what any club says initially, most players have a price. Some clubs who say a player is not for sale simply do it to hike up the price.
 
anybody see this comment on there forum pmsl!

"I fear Lescott will be the final nail in Mark 'arrogant basta*d Hughes's coffin! - 100m spent in one summer and they struggle to turn Wolves over. What a circus - citeh the new toon"

Spot on. There's no-way we've paid 24m imo. Look's like it's worked on the Everton fans so far.

Actually, the transfer regulations are here for you:

Feel free to find the actual regulation, as I have looked through it and reached the conclusion that you are talking shit.
