For me, Tevez leaving is positive news for the club, the benefits of him leaving far outweigh the negatives:
(1) The captaincy is handed to a far better man and a far better ambassador for our club (and City)
(2) Our board is no longer undermined by the Tevez "direct line to the owner"
(3) Our coach will no longer be undermined by the "uneasy relationship" with his Captain
(3) Stability - no more will he? wont he?
(4) The squad will more focussed on the job in hand
(5) Solid professionals at the club will now be able to step up to the plate
(6) The focal point of our attack will shift and give "lesser" players a chance to shine - just watch Mario & Dzeko next season
(7) The squad will be able to converse with it's captain in English
(8) The press will have one less thing to bash us with
(9) We can off load a few translators!
(10) We'll get a more than adequate replacement me thinks
So, thanks Carlito, thanks for helping us get to Stage 1, shame you wont be around for Stage 2.
This is our City and OUR club.
Now jog on..
