Moyes' Man City blast: They've shown no respect to Everton over Lescott hunt
David Moyes has blasted moneybags Manchester City for their pursuit of Joleon Lescott, claiming the Eastlands outfit have been disrespectful to Everton.
After turning down two sizeable bids for the defender, boss Moyes is furious at the way their Premier League rivals are going about their business.
'It's about showing respect and we're not being shown that,' he fumed.
'I'm sure if I was (City boss) Mark Hughes, with all the money he has, I would try to buy the best players.
'But we try to go about it in a different fashion. I would think I would go about my business in the way I've always done,' he told the Sunday Mirror:
City have had bids of £15million and £18million for Lescott turned down - and are now believed to be returning soon with a £22m offer.
However, Everton are insisting they will not sell the England international defender, even for £30m.
Moyes continued: 'I've always tried to contact the managers and show respect to them in terms of transfers - and no matter how much money I might have to spend I would always want to keep that up.
'It goes back to the managers having a drink together after the game, to the fact managers would still phone each other up when they are looking for a player. That is part of the way it should be done.'
