It isn't double standards at all. Tevez by then had already had a history of disrespect to Mancini.
really?
They hadnt fallen out in public before that had they? I dont remember it but you could be right
Tevez has apolgised to the fans....has dzeko?
Like i said, im backing Mancini in this 100%...i dont have a problem with him but double standards from people on here is laughable at times......

There was a reason Tevez was made captain in the first place - because he already said he wanted to leave in summer 2010, and it was Mancini's way of appeasing him. After that, you have all of the above outbursts from Carlos... so by the time the Bolton game happened people were already pissed off with him and his attitude.
And they're pissed off with Dzeko too. I didn't see a single person defend him that night. They understood he was frustrated, but what he did was out of order. But, given he generally comes across as a nice chap I think people are willing to let it go as it appears to be a one off. That was never the case with Carlos, which is why people gave him stick after Bolton.
And then a week after Bolton, he hands in a transfer request.
So to really talk about double standards is kind of crazy.
