and, your slating City over players loyalty because they pay loads of money and refuse to play, but I have just looked over at the Spurs board and you have started a thread saying what great news it is that Spurs look like they are offering Modric an increase in salary to £100k a week. Now how is that any different? Modric didnt want to play for you and you got slaughtered by city, the transfer window closes, Modric is going nowhere and he scores a wonder goal and you thrash Liverpool. Laugh all you want at city but come January, all your going to hear is Modric to Chelsea ect new contract or not. The real story here is how real football fans are getting mugged off by overpaid prima donnas and how the power is now all in the hands of the players
2053: BREAKING NEWS We spoke a bit about it earlier, but it would appear Man City have been swift in their action against Carlos Tevez - suspending the Argentine until further notice "pending aa full review into his alleged conduct" in Munich last night. From the BBC live feed.
I do hear what you are saying, but that does sound like a very bitter comment. Levy came out early on and made it absolutely clear that Moddy was going nowhere, at any price; and from that moment onwards, Moddy said nothing further. All you heard is what you read in the papers, and it turned out to be absolute hog-wash. To all those idiots who used paper-talk to wum our board during that unsettling time, shame on all of you! We can laugh at £ity because, in spite of their greed, they have been hoisted by their own petard. Moddy, being the consummate professional that he is, would never have refused to play for us. Harry didn't play him, because he wasn't sure about his state of mind. Yes, that probably cost us a few points for our opening two games, but he has since proven exactly where his head and heart are. Did you see the stunner he scored against our demolition of LFC? Please, do not lump a professional like Moddy in the same class as a greedy, greasy, avaricious plum like Tevez On that, I will agree with you and I said as much in another post, on another thread. But the Tevez we are seeing is a monster of £ity's creation. I am certain he will not be the last prima donna to throw his teddy from the pram.
But Modric did say he didnt want to play, Redknapp said this in his interview after the Man City game. Why would he say this if it was just paper talk? Is it any coincidence he started playing well after the transfer window closed? Its a disgrace that footballers dont understand how truly blessed they are. I dont think its any suprise knowing the connection Tevez and Mascherano have they they have both used their family as being reasons of being unsettled, and both we are led to beleive have refused to play to engineer a move away. We were truly conned by Torres, he said so many times how much he loved the club and the fans, how we were his second club and only club in england he would consider to play for. Only a couple of weeks before he left he was in the press saying how the players had to stick together. He played truly garbage for a year and look disinterested in all that time, yet we loved him like our own and defended him to the hilt. Chelsea come sniffing and he's off in a flash and then has all the class to say the crap he has about us, all to get his new set of 'fans' onside
following his 2 weeks suspension by mancini, it is expected that carlos tevez will train with the shrews. whether this may involve a move to shrewsbury is not known yet! floreat salopia
I'm sorry, but that is absolutely untrue! Shame on you for inventing stuff to use in your pointless argument! What actually happened was that Moddy was assessed as to what his statement of mind was. No doubt he was asked if he felt up to playing and, being the top professional he is, he would have admitted that he was feeling distracted. The decision whether or not to play him would always have been with Harry, and anyone who doubts that Moddy would have played had Harry insisted is a fool and a wum. As it happened, Harry took the decision that we were better off without an unsettled Moddy. In the event, Harry was probably wrong, but we'll never know that. Anyone who doubts Moddy's commitment to Spurs simply has no case to answer. If you persist with this argument, you are doing nothing more than exposing yourself as an idiot, as far as I am concerned.
So, let me get this straight... Tevez refused, in front of millions, to go on the pitch for £ity, because he feels humiliated at the way he has been treated, and yet it's expected that he'll turn out for a three or four hundred Shrewsbury fans, every sodden, miserable Saturday, until the end of the season?
Yes, yourself, you are the only person who creates articles then replies to themselves, its really really sad You should get yourself down to stockport and meet some other city fans
Bless, you been getting your advice from Eileen again Hoddle? So let me get this right, any Spurs player asks not to play its just because the nasty newspapers, but any other teams player does it, its because he wants away? I know players these days are precious, but are you trying to suggest that his 'mind wasnt right' because of some newspaper stories? Why, if he had no interest in leaving, his manager didnt want him to leave, the chairman didnt want him to leave would a story from the press effect him so much that he would ask his manager not to play, and then for that manager to go out and tell everyone he didnt want to play? You dear, are doing nothing more than exposing yourself as an idiot, as far as I am concerned
7500, could become 10,000 with a famous name playing, i did not say he might play for the shrews, just train with them until he moves back to europe in january. tevez is a professional footballer and i am certain something has happeed behind the scene with mancini or one of his staff. still there is no excuse for refusing to play. perhaps shrews may come up against city in the 4th round after beating arsenal. the lord help you. perhaps tevez and macini may have made it up by then, at least he will have benefited from top of the table training. floreat salopia, amwythig am byth, come on you shrews breathe on 'em!
Under either the Bossman or Webster or some other ruling it was brought in that a player can cancel his contract without penalty if the club have not used him in a certain amount of games over a certain period(a season, I think).Though hopefuly they will be able to **** him around as much as he has ****ed them around. Entering his 3rd season with City this is the longest Tevez has spent at a club since his Boca days, its a shamefull manipulation of clubs and fans and it would be great to see City making a stand against the Joorbachins of the World.Football needs a good clearout of these parasites that have attached themselves to our beautiful game syphoning Millions out of the game every transfer window.If only Football had governing bodies fit for purpose something could be done, all transfers and negotiations should be conducted through national FA`s which overnight would rid us of these "agents".
The board of Man City need to give RM their full backing. The next thing they have to do is to come to a decision on Carlos as quickly as possible. Carlos should be banned from the club and fined the maximium fine possible until everything is resolved. Personnally I don't want Casrlos anywhere near the 1st team again. The sooner he is moved on the better. If Corinthains still want him then let them gives us about £30m and 1st refusal on any of their playersfor the next 5yrs.
By law, you cannot tell him he cannot play again. It would be restraint of trade to do so and could lead to him suing City. There are two options - sack him for gross misconduct and sue him for any lost transfer fee, or accept him back and treat him as part of the squad. Not saying he has to play very often, but if he is never in the first team squad at all, City will be in breach of his contract.
Don't think that's the case - there has to be a clause in his contract to that extent. The Webster ruling says any player aged under 28 can buy out the remainder of their contract after three years, and two years if they are 28 or over. That would mean Tevez will be able to do that when he turns 28, in February next year. But at £250k a week that would mean he'd have to pay City at least £25 million, which would effectively mean another club would have to pay that amount for him. Still, it does mean that he can use those regulations to force a move through in January, and City will probably have to accept an offer relatively near to that amount, or possibly even less as CAS actually reduced the amount Webster had to pay to less than his remaining salary. Although I'm not sure if he'd be allowed to transfer his registration to another club outside the transfer window - could be interesting to see what happens if he goes that route. I seriously doubt you'll get anything near that much for a player who Corinthians know you'll be desperate to get rid of in January, or risk him cancelling his contract in February. And now he's played in Europe this season he's cup tied, so none of the top teams still in the CL will be all that interested in Jan. Best bet would be to try and get shot of him to someone like Malaga or PSG, who are currently close to the situation City were in in 2008 - all the money to attract players, but without the success needed to yet take the players that the top clubs still want to keep.
