Micah Richards admits he helped set up Joleon Lescott's controversial transfer from Everton to Manchester City, only to be told his employers wanted him to move in the opposite direction
Micah Richards has revealed how he helped set up Joleon Lescott’s controversial Everton exit to Manchester City only for his club to try and send him in the opposite direction to Goodison Park as part of the deal.
With City, Lescott went on to win a brace of Premier League titles under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini plus the FA Cup in 2011, also being named as an unused substitute for the 2014 League Cup final, but Richards, who admitted to ‘tapping up’ his fellow Brummie while on international duty with England, has lifted the lid on how he was almost hoisted with his own petard.
“Then we were talking about football and whether he was happy at Everton, all these sort of things, and he said, ‘I’d love to come to Man City’. So I’m thinking, ‘buzzing’, we could get to have Joleon, how much would he cost? All this sort of thing.
