Top four ambitions prompted Lescott's move
Joleon Lescott has revealed the brutal truth that fuelled his desire to leave Everton - Manchester City are more likely to gate-crash the top four.
The Toffeemen finished fifth last term and reached the FA Cup final and David Moyes was anxious to build on his squad rather than lose senior players as he geared himself up for the final assault on those coveted Champions League slots.
Yet Lescott could not see how Everton were going to smash the glass ceiling that has kept the established order apart from the rest.
In order to achieve that, serious money was required. The type of money Manchester City have been spending this summer.
"I see the future being brighter here than Everton," he said.
"Everyone outside the top four are aiming for the same thing but I think Manchester City are more equipped to get there faster than Everton. That is why I made the change."
