Brendan Rodgers: 'David Moyes deserves bigger club'

Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers believes that his Everton counterpart David Moyes deserves to be in charge of a club that consistently challenges for trophies.

Despite a lack of finances, Moyes has consistently guided the Toffees to top-half finishes in the Premier League during his nine years in charge, something that Rodgers has insisted warrants a bigger job.

"David has done an outstanding job to keep them up the top end of table for so many years. I have an immense respect for David and the job he has done has been remarkable," he told reporters.

"He is a manager who deserves a crack at a club regularly challenging for trophies. He has been one of the most consistent managers over a number of years and he is a great role model for young coaches and managers.

"They don't have resources of their counterparts across the way but he has made them competitive and he is a manager who deserves an opportunity to win trophies."

Rodgers and Moyes will go head to head this evening as Swansea travel to Goodison Park.
