    What a complete bellend.

    Mancini saying he'll never play for Man City again.

    Wonder what an old school manager, like Fergusson, would do to him.

    What petulant behaviour from someone who is a senior professional. Man City are best shot of him if this is how he chooses to behave, regardless of his talent. There are under 9s teams which behave better than that, shame on Tevez.

    There are people out there unemployed or scraping by, their ray of sunshine is watching their club maybe it's Man City & there's a multi-millionaire refusing to put in a shift, people can't apprehend it, this is way beyond the realms of most people's reality. You know it's come to the point where some clubs' staff are out of touch with the world of their supporters.. crazy.

    Man City can afford to take the moral high ground with Tevez, they should force him to rot in the reserves, go on cross country runs in his pants.

    He wants to be sacked, he doesn't care about being fined, he knows he isn't in their first team so he wants out. Don't give him what he wants, make him see out his contract, that is how you punish him.

    Obviously, that is easy for me to say, £40m is a lot of money to take the moral high ground over. I would love to see it though.

    Unbelievable .

    Mancini would have been well within his rights to have kicked the ugly twat in his gormless face .
    ****ers like this have ruined the game .

    Isn't this the result of Man City playing hardball with the transfer fee this summer when a club who are in no way in competition with Man City offered Tevez the opportunity to move back to South America meaning that he could see his kid growing up without his Mrs having to move to Europe away from her family etc which she'd tried but was miserable doing, and by playing hardball they screwed up the transfer because the transfer deadline over there was reached?

    Bollocks to what he's paid, he's had a club who are spending stupid amounts on players and their wages turn round and say that £5M on top of the £35M they'd been offered was more important to them than him and his family being together and happy, and then made him feel worthless as a player by sticking him on the bench and stripping him of the captaincy. I'd be trying to **** them off in a high profile way as well.

    Who cares Ricardo? That's his job and that's what his wages are... Man City own his contract... if he refuses to play then let him rot in the reserves... regardless of what Man City have spent he's their player. £5m is a lot of money regardless of what's already been spent! His wife knew this would've been the case when he took that contract, it wasn't a surprise to her. There are guys in regular jobs on oil rigs for example who have to work away from home who wouldn't dare behave like Tevez did tonight, refusing to work because they couldn't move to a different rig or a rig closer to home!

    Competition or not, as an example should we sell Chester to an African team for a £1? They're not in competition with us after all so surely that's for the best? This will sound harsh but who cares that Tevez has a kid? He signed a contract! It's about time a club made a player stick by it! They have every right to, regardless of the digits involved.

    It just shows what a player thinks of football when they'd rather sit on their arse than play, despite the 'situation'. If I was in Tevez's shoes I'd have gone on tonight and put my all into winning the game. Though I suppose I have a modicum of self respect and like to perform to the best of my ability... shame I'm not on mega money really isn't it... I mean it would already seem that I deserve it more what with my blatant greatfulness and willingness to reward a fantastic contract...

    This is becoming a little idealist but I honestly don't think it can be argued with. I aren't going to accept anything along the lines of "But the way things are..." because with a simple change in attitude that can be changed. Just check out AC Milan's Oguchi Onyewu... a yank of all nationals!

    He gets paid that much money that the family issues are just a lame excuse, if Barca or Madrid had come in for him he would have been over there like a shot. How many years in England and he hasn't bothered to learn the language? Compared to Tevez Bullard is a flipping saint.

    Pathetic on Tevez part, is it any wonder that footballers for the most part have a lousy reputation, they get paid a huge amount of money and yet they behave like children if they don't get their own way. I stand by my feeling that money has ruined the game

    We have created the "Spoilt Brats", We Will always see brats like him when there on never never money! Clubs arent going to solve this, but the the fans sure as hell could, by boycotting matches and calling for a huge reduction in wages !!!

    As fans we could put an end to this ! But as i fear, We just piss and moan (including me)

    Just to clarify the Tevez to Corinthians situation:

    Man City didn't reject their bid, they stalled on it as they wanted to ensure that Sergio Aguero came in before Tevez went out. By the time Aguero had actually signed, it was too late as the Brazilian transfer window closes earlier than ours.

    I'm sure he'll be gone in the first week of January, if not before.

    He now says his position was misunderstood and he never refused to go on.

    I wonder what his 'position' was? It must have been one hell of a misunderstanding!

    If a rig worker was told that they could move to a closer rig and the deal was all done but BP waited until after the helicopter had left and then said ok you can go now that your replacement has signed his contract, the only thing keeping them at work would be financial necessity. I've sort of been there in that my last job I spent 9 months working purely because I had to, if I'd been able to pay the bills I'd have walked out at the beginning of that period.

    1) You're taking it to the extremes by saying £1. If we decided Chester was worth £400k but he was unhappy and we got an offer from Motherwell for £350k should we reject it even if it was the only offer and he wanted to move to Scotland, or should we say it's the best offer we're going to get and we're not strengthening our rivals like we would be if we waited and Middlesbrough (not far from the Scottish border is why I chose them) signed him for £400k? Corinthians signing him would have meant that they took a smaller fee but surely it's better that happens than they hold out for the extra bit and he goes and signs for a Champions League rival so that at least the culture is less alien to his family.

    2) Man City and their owners have shown a complete disregard for money, it doesn't matter to them. That's why the 13% they played hardball with before a deal was agreed was ridiculous. We (under the current owners) haven't shown that same lack of of regard for money so us holding out for a bigger fee would be inline with the financial precedents we've set. The point I was trying to make was that Man City holding out for the money was basically saying "everyone knows we don't give a **** about this, but we care even less about our employees". At what point is that going to instill the loyalty that was needed for him to accept the delay in the move to ensure Aguero signed first?

    You've no proof that he'd have immediately gone to Barca/Real ahead of Corinthians, and it doesn't matter what you're earning, your family can be unhappy and it's your family that should come first. The kid was much younger before and the full extent wouldn't have been known until they experianced it. If he went to Barca/Real because there was no Corinthians bid then you're still looking at a much more similar culture than there is in the UK so some of the family issues would be reduced until a permanent move was a possibility.

    Tevez suspended for two weeks by Man City. I don't have any sympathy for Tevez Ricardo.

    Jim Boyce is an absolute breath of fresh air .
    He's not sitting on the fence on this one . He wants him sacked and banned .

    You wouldn't hear Platini , Blatter or Gordon Taylor say that .

    Football needs more men like Jim Boyce in positions of power .

    Hats off to him .

    On the whole, he's an unprofessional twat. He should have known that this could happen when he signed his contract and negotiated a buyout clause. He's a tool. If anyone else on here got offered his ridiculous wage we'd run on to that pitch, happy, ill or injured and ran ourselves into the ground. If he's that unhappy the fool should buyout his own contract and go. As for the whole "he wants to go home" argument. He doesn't. He just wants a move as he's not top dog anymore. He'd happily go to Italy or Spain if the opportunity presented itself to him.
