there is a general sense that finding a way to destroy his footballing career at a top level is more important than the wedge of cash. I agree with that perspective btw. I hope we find a way to make him rue the day he signed for us, the little miserable fucker. He's taken the piss one time too many, hasn't he?
I've never turned on a pro athlete as quickly and as completely as i've turned on Tevez. It's heartbreaking really...destined to be a legend here if he just cared enough to matter, but somehow our accolades, our patience and the club's willingness to bend over backwards everytime he 'spat his dummy' as you say only seems to have fed the beast and made him a pariah, and the penultimate example of sporting greed and civic disrespect, mapping to essentially what is the archetype of what's wrong with the "modern footballer."
if we don't stand against him, and fuck him over in a serious fashion then it gives a decent argument for those that say we are ruining football. We are one of only a handful of teams that can afford to make an example of Tevez, and set a precedent that forces the next fucler to reconsider not getting off the bench when the manager calls his number. We should take this opportunity to create a landmark case in football and ensure that players get knocked down a peg, because we all know it needs to happen.
This is so far and above being a hard negotiator, or wanting something that isn't earned, etc...those things are normal, and still suck at times, but the entire arc of this story over the last 10 months is fucking pathetic and this aggression cannot be tolerated, man. It cannot be tolerated.
