Mancini : Tevez refused to take to the field [merged]

[paulmclaren]

He's going to find ity hard mustering a move away from city now surely?
Everywhere he's been he has been disruptive in some way.
What an asshole though.
I bet Zabaletta has to tell the owners what went on?
I wonder what sort of rift that would cause seeing how there Argentinian team mates, if he is really punished in some way.

Fifa chief in Tevez ban threat

"If this player did what he has been accused of doing, then if Manchester City were to release him tonight I don't think it would be right if he could go and earn a considerable amount of money somewhere else next week," added Boyce.

"I would have no problems if some sanctions were imposed by Fifa in that respect. People within the clubs and within the top level of Fifa need to discuss this aspect of the game.

"If Carlos Tevez does it, who's to say someone else doing it the next week or the week after? It could become a massive problem."

If city do cancel his contract and a worldwide ban was made so he will never be allowed to join 'any club' never again untill his contract is up, and more importantly, he is 'NOT PAID BY CITY FOR THE REMAINING 2 YEARS OF HIS CONTRACT'.
That would be great.
Hope this happens if city decide to get rid of the prick.

By this action, Tevez has urinated on the good name of Manchester City, he's urinated on his team mates, he's urinated on Bobby Manc and, more than anyone else, he's urinated on all the fans.

Appropriately, the Sheik ought to put out a contract and have him taken to the nearest Sewerage Farm to be thrown into the deepest sewerage tank, to either drown or be poisoned.

City could then claim on the insurance.

I haven't read all the threads so this may have been posted elsewhere, but mancio asks him to warm up by waving his arm, Carlos just sits there. Mancio later waves him to come on, and he just sits there. Kolarov whom is sitting next to him tugs his arm and intimates for him to get up, he just sits there.

It's premeditated and there is no doubt he chooses not to play.

maybe you were at the game but there is no way you can tell that from sky, they were flicking between when dzecko came off and when the discussions with carlos started stating there was trouble on the bench.

if anything it looks like kolorov pulls tevez to sit back down but I don't know in what context it happened, but I definitely did not see him force him up

On my SKY one of the coaches was trying to coax him up from the front.

He can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned. I'm less concerned about the match than about us being a laughing stock again.

Tevez has had special treatment. He is a bigger troublemaker than Bellamy, Ade and the Bridge/SWP agents put together. But because we needed him he's been indulged.

Well no more. Mancini needs rid of bad eggs to build the team spirit and he's the baddest.

I am really looking forward to Dougie's Training session report today !

I'm pretty convinced that City will get a positive boost from Teves not being there.

In a strange way i think Kun Aguero will benefit from all this Teves stuff. I can't help thinking he doesn't enjoy being substituted
by Teves.

Just listening to SSN and the paper round-up. There's obviously a lot of talk about Tevez and the club suspension but one of the papers goes into why Tevez didn't come on, from his point of view. They're saying that just prior to Dzeko coming off Nige and Carlos had been warming up obviously expecting to come on. When Nige got the nod Carlos sat down probably believing he wasn't required. From there, he was then told to warm-up again which is what he refused to do, and this is where the paper says the refusal to play could have been misconstrued. It doesn't sound like they are defending him but are putting it across that actually, it could've been an interpretation problem with Carlos just refusing to warm up as he believed he was ready while the management team, obviously already upset by the score, losing it and believing he was refusing to play.

It's an interesting angle as this would have an affect on how we go forward with regard to his contract rights. Refusing to warm-up rather than play is whole different thing and could mean a host of problems for our lawyers.

Unless it's been taken down since then I've not seen it (I follow Zabs on Twitter). The only thing he has said is that he doesn't wish to talk about Tevez and the only thing to focus on is 3 points on Saturday.

zabba zabba zabba how wrong you are!! long before we bought these players in the summer tevez asked for a transfer, and in the summer we had to go and buy players cos we thought tevez would be gone.
i love zabba to bits but i think hes totally wrong with this, hes disrespected every person involved at the club from the fans to the top brass. looking at the film of zabba next to tevez at the game it looks to me as tho zabba dont wanna talk to him. im pretty sure something went on in the half time interval too looking at bobby's body language.
im sure all will come out in the wash in the next week or so

we have bent over backwards for tevez giving him time off to be with his (knock offs) i mean wife and kids and this is how we get repaid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah the first bit was an SSN fabrication. Probably Bryan Swanson, we haven't heard from that Dick for a while.

Then he and Sky need to be issued with a writ ASAP imho!!!

[Goaters 103]

Oh dear.

If these quotes are true,I sincerely hope not, then Zabaleta can do one as well.

Need to feel confidence eh? How about the need to show respect to your club, your colleagues and your supporters.

[kinkylola]

don't see how that article would lead anyone to wanting zabba to do one ... seems like he's trying to be a calm head amongst what has turned into a shit storm.

think you may need to calm down yourself before telling hardworking, professional players like zabba to do one.

KIA on the Keys and Gray show this morning..wonder what bullshit he will come out with?
