Moyes set to sign contract

EVERTON manager David Moyes will finally sign his much-awaited contract extension over the next 48 hours.

The Toffees’ dismal start to the season, which has seen them dumped out of both the Carling Cup and UEFA Cup, has been compounded by Moyes’ refusal to sign a new contract at Goodison Park despite months of discussions.

The Scot has not helped matters by remaining tight-lipped over the issue, repeatedly refusing to give detailed responses to queries about his future but he has now finally moved to quell the rumours and says a new deal will be signed “before the weekend”.
