Is that the same interview the quote is supposedly from? If so, it really doesn't seem to tally and I agree he's been completely misrepresented, as he mentions nothing of club size or specifics. I must admit I'm without internet access at home at the moment so until today had only seen the reports on teletext and heard the radio bulletins.
It's difficult to know whether that interview was the same one they were writing about, but there was a significant amount of what he said in the interview that it seemed like the right one.
I just don't see why Hughes would antagonise Moyes at this point. Saturday went pretty much perfectly for him. Citeh won, away from home, their new players all showed a great deal of promise, Everton got absolutely mauled which would pretty much speed up the Lescott transfer. Why pi55 Moyes off and possibly make him stubbornly refuse to do a deal?
Even if he did say it, I don't think it's that bad. It's a pretty accurate summing up from him - Everton don't like the situation because they're possibly going to lose one of their best players to a club with bigger clout and potential. It's nothing like the "small club" comments that Fergie came out with.
