Funny that these 'stories' break out just before one of our most important games of the season.
ROBERTO MANCINI has been involved in an astonishing bust-up with Craig Bellamy.
It ended with Manchester City's boss screaming at the player: Get out - and don't come back for THREE MONTHS.
Mancini exploded after Bellamy refused a request to train on Thursday with one of the manager's Italian staff.
The £14million striker was ordered into Mancini's office, where the pair had a heated exchange.
A stunned insider said: "The manager was yelling 'Why are you always questioning me? Why won't you do as you are told? Why are you always questioning everything at training and in games?'.
"Bellamy argued back that he only wanted what was best for the club.
"But Mancini snapped 'I want you to leave now. And do not come back for three months'."
Bellamy had just completed a one-on-one training session on Wednesday with a member of City's sports science department, when he was approached by Mancini's Italian trainer.
He told the Welsh international to report to him on Thursday for more training, which Bellamy refused to accept.
He insisted only he and the sports science staff knew how to handle his injured right knee.
After the bust-up, Bellamy stormed away and was immediately contacted by City chief executive Garry Cook and the club's football administrator Brian Marwood.
They advised him to return to training on Thursday. But Bellamy refused, insisting he would go back only when Mancini invited him to.
Bellamy had a meeting with Marwood last night. He was again advised to return to training today and apologise to Mancini.
While Bellamy is expected back at training, he will refuse to apologise, telling Marwood he has no reason to say sorry.
Bellamy joined City in January 2009 and is a huge fans' favourite for his wholehearted displays.
The bust-up is the worst possible preparation for City's Eastlands showdown with Liverpool on Sunday, as both clubs battle for a Champions League place.
Marwood and Cook are desperate for Bellamy to play because top scorer Carlos Tevez is in Argentina following the premature birth of his child.
