Would sacking him now leave him free to sign for another club or would his registration still be held by us until any court case?
Holding on to his registration is a whole different legal argument.
But there is not a club on earth at present who would take the chance of paying him his wages and end up in court v City, on the hook for his original £50m price tag.
He is not only in breach by his refusal to play, his actions have now impacted on the asset value to ourselves.
Tevez may have earned a few quid, but it's fair to assume him and Kia won't be able to scrape that type of dough together.
This will sound crazy, but this is his 'Garry Cook moment'.
His actions and subsequent interviews, seemingly innocuous to his dim-witted skull, have just signed his death warrant.

But we won't be paying his wages and with a bit of creative accounting the amount of a law suit might count as income toward FFP, but the bad debt might not count as a loss.

City's chance to nail Kia once and for all, i bet they didn't think it would be this easy and happen so quickly.........Christmas has come early :-)

Not entirely sure about his last game of football but I agree with the rest of your summation Moomba.
If we sack him for breach of contract we will still have to take a big hit on any transfer fee we would have got if he sold him on.
Revisiting the Corinthians deal in January assuming there was some substance to it in August will probably be the best deal for the club and avoid a legal stouch which really in the end will suit lawyers but not what the owners really want lingering on for too long.
Their is always another manager on the planet who believes he can handle a difficult player better than the previous one he played under and despite the unsavoury incident he still can play the game at 27.
