Not sure how any action we take take could hurt us as a club more than Carlos has and seemingly continues to. As far as I see it there's three options.
1) A foreign club miraculously locates 40million big ones and he goes with our blessing.
2) He shuts his disrespectful little mouth gets his head down and honours his contract.
3) He tears his contract up and we pursue him for breach. Hope you fancy a long court battle with the infinitely rich ADUG that would be sure to ruin you Carlos. Hope you liked Fuerte Apache cos option 3 sends you on a fast track back there.
First of all Tevez and his agent would not just shut up and accept spending 3 years in the reserves
Secondly it will become club vs player and it will hurt the clubs image if its seen treating their own player like that
Thirdly his agent and tevez will make sure they are in the media everyday pleading their case and it will be on the papers everyday, the manager gets asked about it all the time and it will just overshadow what the team is trying to do. The other players will get fed up about being asked about it all the time and eventually all that negativity surrounding the club will have effect on the team. Its just not worth the hassle to go through all that to teach a player a lesson. There's a reason why no club has done anything like this. Also the players value decreases the worse the relationship gets with the club. You are not gonna sell 30 million for a tevez who has played one season reserve football
