EVERTON manager David Moyes cannot quite bring himself to admit their relegation worries are over but he has started tentatively planning for next season.

A 14-point gap to third-bottom Ipswich suggests any concerns about dropping out of the top flight should have been dispelled.

And while Moyes is still targeting the 40-point mark, even though that is likely more than needed to assure safety, he has challenged a number of his players who are out of contract in the summer to prove they have longer-term futures at the club.
