Boss still enjoying intensity of Premier League
Speculation may be rife about David Moyes's next move and whether it will come this summer in the wake of Everton's failure to reach the FA Cup Final but the manager insists he has no plans on leaving Goodison Park.

Asked if he was currently of a mind to walk out on Everton given the cup semi-final heartache, the financial pressures at Goodison, and the length of his tenure as the Blues' boss, Moyes rejected the assertion.

"No. That is not my plan and it is not in my thoughts. I will have a chat with the Chairman at the end of the season and we will see where things go. It will just be a chat generally to see where we are."

And Moyes isn't at the point where he feels he needs a Pep Guardiola-style sabbatical from football, either:

"I've not come to that point. Nowadays it is a much harder job and there is a level of pressure at every club. It takes a lot of your time up. But I have always enjoyed my work.

"Maybe some day I will come to that point but I don't think I'm there yet. I thrive on the intensity and I don't know what I would be like if I didn't have it."

Speaking of how he sees his summer transfer business mapping out, Moyes highlighted creativity as perhaps his side's greatest need seeing as he hasn't yet been able to replace Mikel Arteta and Royston Drenthe is unlikely to return next season.

"We've now got a forward who can score (Nikica Jelavic) but maybe we are lacking a bit of creativity. I can see pictures and directions of where we should be going that will probably help us progress again. That's what I will talk to Bill about."
