Players and there respect for there football club will be one thing a lot of people will be talking about. It is important that players respect there clubs as this is how they have made there fortune. There is many footballers I can think of who don't have any respect at all for there club or manager and Carlos Tevez is one of them, It angers me that all you have to do is do what they say, a contract is a contract and in "the real world" if you break a contract you have to pay money like if you have a phone on a contract. Carlos Tevez should have more respect as he is on a lot of money more than our soldiers who would never refuse to fight or do anything. This lack of respect is ruining the game which we love and players should be disciplined stronger for their actions not given a pay rise and a new contract so that they can pretend that they are happy at the club again.
Actually, I would say Tevez was completely in his right to refuse to play. If he was anyone else, I would agree with you but a club need to show respect to their players and Man City didn't. Over the summer, Tevez made it pretty clear that he wanted to move clubs, so Man City upped his selling price deliberately so that literally no one else could afford him. As you said, "in the real world" your boss wouldn't refuse to let you move to a different company as long as you gave your notice. Therefore I think Tevez made his point and he made it well. If a player isn't respected by his club then why should he respect them back?
Haven't read or even listened to the Tevez saga, such is my dislike of the Premier League, however, looking at LadyGillingham's comments, I assume it's the same saga that Cody McDonald faced pre season - probably completely different circumstances but rumoured 550-600k? just laughable.
I do have to agree on what you are saying, I do think it is unfair that they kept him after his said he wanted to leave, I think they should just set a reasonable price.
Players sign a contract for x number of years, they have all kinds off nonsense written into the contracts, Tevez had signed a new contract only 12 months previously for a big pay hike, he was still happy to collect his wage every week. He tried it on and it looks like it's working if people have started feeling sorry for him.
lets put it this way in your day to day job if you refused to complete some certain work that you had been asked to do you would be fired or at the very least heavily disciplined so why should it be any different for football players? they already seem to be able to hold their clubs to ransom with them and their agents trying to force mvoes to other clubs when the team doesnt want to sell them. if this is allowed to go unchallanged and without punishment imagine the can of worms it would open up. yes teves wanted to leave but the club are well within thier right to ask for a certain amount of money and tbh i dont think what they were asking for unreasonable for a player of his ability and if he'd be ok with going anywhere in the world one of the other teams would have paid up easily. unfort for him teams where his family are dont really have the same financial cloult as the big european clubs
