lol @ Everton fans thinking they can go to the FA when they made the deal public.

surely that first little logical hurdle must make it apparent to all but the very thickest of them that they can't?! the mind boggles.

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.

Everton will not complain to the FA.

Which rule is this? If you're going to make the claim lets here you back it up with facts please.

And if Moyes is saying no, and Kenright is saying yes who determines whether the rule has been broken?
