They want £1.5m for Moyes because he still have four years to run on his contract. Everton had expected to pay around £300,000,. Preston however, are shooting themselves in the foot becasue if they demand too much Everton will walk away, we might be able to afford £1.5m for no more, and Moyes wants to leave, so the last thing they want is a manager who resents the club for holding him back.

North End issued a statement, saying: "All parties understand that any deal is conditional on the clubs agreeing an appropriate compensation package, irrespective of anything David Moyes might agree personally."
