I'm in the smart phone owners club now Bought an Orange San Diego earlier

Arguably he did: Gary Lineker: If it did happen, and you had told first person - the chairman, would you be interested in Tottenham David? David Moyes: I'm ambitious and I want to try and win things, I want to do that at Everton. He then went on to suggest that Redknapp was harshly treated by Daniel Levy at Spurs.. that seems to be ruling it out.

Transcript from Match of the Day's half time interview: Gary Lineker: I must take advantage, I've been besieged today on Twitter with tweets from fans of both Everton and Tottenham. There's a lot of interest in whether Tottenham have made any sort of approach to Everton for your services. What is the situation? David Moyes: No, as far as I am concerned, it is all speculation. I've had no contact, if I did have, the first person I would tell would be my chairman, I have a great relationship with him. Gary Lineker: If it did happen, and you had told first person - the chairman, would you be interested in Tottenham David? David Moyes: I'm ambitious and I want to try and win things, I want to do that at Everton. We got three players in, in January, you could see the difference it made to the club, to the players, to myself. We want to try and do that again. Gary Lineker: Does that say to me, that if that were the situation you go to the chairman and say "You know, I need money Everton, if I am to compete. and Tottenham have got it" David Moyes: I told my chairman that four weeks ago! We want to kick on again and we want to do well. But for me really, my concentration is on getting Everton ready for the start of the season and hopefully getting off to a better one than we've had in recent years. Gary Lineker: Everton is a great club, you've been there a long time. You've done an unbelievable job. Fans are very nervous, but at this stage you can't... David Moyes: I tell people straight as it is, I've had no contact, the club has had no contact. I'm an Everton manager. Gary Lineker: Would a fresh challenge appeal at some stage in your career? David Moyes: I've always been loyal and I will continue to be loyal to Everton. As long as they want me, I am happy there. As I say, I'm ambitious and the players at Everton are ambitious and they want me to keep pushing the club forwards. Gary Lineker: Do you get a sense from Everton that their ambition matches yours? David Moyes: I do, because as you know Gary - you've been there yourself and played there; Everton is a massive club in this country. We've found it hard to compete, we've got to big semi-finals and finals and have just fallen a bit short. We've certainly.. with what we've got and the players we've got, we are in there competing, we are in there doing the best we can and we continue to do that. Alan Shearer: I know that each manager in the Premier League sort of, watches each others backs, have you been in touch with Harry to tell him how sorry you are with what's happened? David Moyes: No, I've tried to speak to Harry, because you know, I feel for him because I think he's been..well.. I feel the situation is tough on Harry, it really is. You never know the ins and outs at what's happening at each club and what's happened behind the scenes but Harry got to the semi-final of a cup, he got to the Champions League. I said last year, I'd have paid to watch Tottenham. They were an excellent side to watch. Gary Lineker: I don't want to embarass you Alan, but he [David Moyes] would be a great choice for Spurs wouldn't he? Alan Shearer: When you look at the job he has done at Everton, and the net spend over the period that he has been there, it's incredible how much they have achieved over the years. So whenever a big job comes available it's no surprise that he is linked. Gary Lineker: The rumour at the moment is that AVB is the big favourite. Do you see that as a fit? Alan Shearer: When you look at what happened at Chelsea, you know what happens, players speak to each other all the time, whether it be on the telephone, twitter or whatever, t. here's contact between the players.It's widely known that he [AVB] didn't have a great relationship with the players at Chelsea. I'd be amazed really if that were to happen. Gary Lineker: Do you think Bill Kenwright would give you permission to speak to Spurs if there was an approach? David Moyes: Well I, we're not there. It's hypothetical. I can't say that. But what I think is good to see, is a lot of young British managers getting opportunities of the big jobs. It's great see Brendan Rogers, Paul Lambert, Chris Hughton getting good jobs, let's hope that continues. Gary Lineker: Whatever happens, we wish you all the best whereever you are next season.

Why not someone from outside of the country? Thomas Tuchel would be a personal favourite. Others would be Gavin Hunt or Dominic Kinnear. Maybe even one of the old players who now coach in the the MLS such as Preki or Mo Johnston. (I'm half kidding) Bob Bradley would be a good option but he's doing a tremendous job with Egypt.

Someone called Moose on TalkSport said that Moyes has held talks with Spurs. I presume that's why betting is suspended. The club have since denied that there has been contact from Spurs on TalkSport. I'm actually indifferent about whether he goes or not, he just needs to decide soon. Personally, I can't see him leaving the North West. Just noticed, Everton's Director of Communications has threatened legal action against the guy if he says it has happened again. Seems kind of harsh, it's just a football rumour.

Everton have told him he can go, he's gone on holiday now and tweeted earlier that he's thinking about his future.

Jagielka's comments on Fellaini effect his 'brand value' in the media but not necessarily the asking price. Essentially, if Fellaini's value is talked up by players and printed in the media, a wider audience will slowly expect to see him be sold for a lot more.

Hasn't the Malaysian guy said he'd be willing to invest £100m into the club as a result? The CEO was on 5 live earlier, he didn't come across well in my opinion.

Steve, but it could be said that this is what happened. We moved from a situation where Puma was the manufacturer and the retail stores were operated in house, to a deal with JJB Sports where they chose Umbro in 2004, to the situation in 2009 where Kitbag become the partner and Le Coq Sportif became the manufacturer, now three years on Kitbag remain but they have opted for Nike. I'm presuming the reason Kitbag changed to Nike is because it'll offer more money to Kitbag (and presumably Everton if enough are sold). The deal seems to align Kitbag's interest with Everton's interest and that can't be a bad thing.

Same as you.. Last night's episode felt like the Return of the King after ring story was complete. I tell you what though, Jon Snoe missed out on the the ginger wildling Ygritte, he should have took her up on the offer.

Isn't that their point, that the off the pitch performance doesn't match and in fact, hinders the on the pitch performance?

That doesn't come into it for me, each of those teams outperforms the club off the pitch.
