Bobby Manc has been very clever here.
He has not striped the captaincy off Tevez officially. But we all know that when Tevez comes back into the team it is highly unlikely that Kompany will step aside allowing Carlos to get the armband back.
My point is Mancini has played a blinder here. Kompany is now considered the captain, and he hasnt given the media amunition to make a big song and dance about Tevez being stripped of the captaincy.
He could have easily in the summer stated that he was stripping Tevez of the armband, but he has played it down massively . Now though, i believe we have the correct man in Kompany for this job, and Carlos can come in and out of the team when Mancini wants him.
everyones a winner. and well done Bobby
