One of the comments on the Telegraph website.. thought I'd share here.

Since the economic crisis began, it has, quite understandably, been incompetent/ unethical financiers who are held with as much public affection as say Roy Whiting, but Tevez' behaviour is emblematic as to why the entertainment industry in general deserve a comparable degree of contempt from the public. I mean how many millions does this dolt earn each year, does he read (can he read?) the newspapers and visualize or empathise with millions of people being made redundant, losing their homes, breaking up families. All this new generation of overly-rewarded one dimensional sports-stars and entertainers should understand where their fantastical wealth came from; that being an unethical, yet spectacularly efficient advertising/public relations industry who have inserted a worship of accessible heroes and gods into the moral, spiritual and intellectual void left by the collapse of institutionalized religion. Tevez's millions come from the sale of shirts emblazoned with his name that are bought by the same people who are suffering worst from the economic mismanagement of our country. He could show a little appreciation from benefiting so richly from what amounts to a perverse tax upon the stupid (this is what low-brow popular consumer products are in fact) and dutifully carry our his contractual obligations.

Who is that article slagging off, us (the stupid who are paying this perverse tax) or Tevez?
 
It does make me giggle that the media managed to get from 'Once my contract has finished I will never return to Manchester' to...'Carlos Tevez is due back in training on Monday but vowed he would never return to Manchester'. They look a bit stupid now eh.

Silly media.

The way I heard that interview with Tevez I took it to mean he would never return to Manchester after he'd finished playing here. As in how former players return every now and then for games like Kinkladze, Goater etc.
 
I hope he gets a hatful whilst he is still with us, and if he stays again takes the golden boot pushing Dzeko and Aguero to the wire.
