Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has "laughed off" speculation manager David Moyes is poised to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.[LNB] Moyes last week described as "nonsense" reports he was being lined up to take over at Old Trafford when his long-serving fellow Scot eventually decides to step down.[LNB]Kenwright is equally unimpressed and is determined the 47-year-old, who recently celebrated eight years in charge at Everton, should stay at Goodison Park.[LNB]Kenwright told the Liverpool Echo: "It's absolute nonsense to infer that we would let David depart for Manchester United with our blessing.[LNB]"If a day like that ever did occur, Evertonians know that I would fight tooth and nail to keep our manager where he belongs.[LNB]"Everyone will have read both David Moyes and Alex Ferguson's comments and what they both describe as typical summer speculation madness.[LNB]"David Gill [United chief executive] and I have a similar friendship to David and Alex Ferguson, and we too have laughed it off."
