He speaks:
"David Moyes has done a great job for them,” said Lescott.
“He’s been the most consistent manager outside the top four. But people tend to underestimate what the players have done as well.
“The players have played a massive part in what’s been achieved. They’re a great bunch to work with, and I know Moyes enjoys working with them every day.”
Moyes concluded his thoughts by announcing the chapter is now closed.
Just as we’ve seen with Wayne Rooney this season, time is a great healer.
Although it ended on a sour note, Lecsott reflects on three seasons at Goodison that witnessed his transformation from Championship prospect to England international.
He has a lot to thank Moyes for.
“I’ve followed what’s been happening at Everton since I left,” says the 27-year-old.
“ I had three good years there. I’ve got a lot of good friends there, not just football friends but friends in life.
“They’re in good form but that’s not surprising. They’ve got great players. I didn’t think it would be too long before they started to do well.
“The way they started the season, they were without Jags, Mikel Arteta, the Yak, and I’d joined City.
“All four of us had played a big part in the previous year, so it was going to be a big loss.
“But the players that came in hav done exceptionally well, and the injured players are back fit now.”
