Who is this c*** (edited for legal reasons ;-)) Pentol ?
That's not a fucking neutral view, it's a City hating or bullshit fucking Kia Joorabchian mouthpiece type view. HRH will back Tevez ? My fucking hairy arse he will. Utter utter lies & shite.
I'd suggest that he knows what he's talking about and I wouldn't be surprised if Tevez' agent/rep has already contacted him for legal advice.
