Was never bothered about the fallout, always saw it as six of one and half a dozen of the other. He went to war with the manager a long time before that and ultimately lost the war and paid the price.
He actually won us the title by trying to leave the summer before the fallout. We bought Sergio as a replacement then couldn't shift Tevez, and this made us a better teAm. Without him we suddenly start playing one touch football with Sergio at its heart. It gave us the cutting edge which won us the league. Tevez is a good player but he brings problems with him. He was at his best as lone frontman in the 4231. Playing him as we do He gets some good goals but runs into too many brick walls, and takes too many touches sometimes. He affects the way we play. Slows us down, loses us possession, wastes opportunities. On the flip side as a solo player he can get great goals out of nothing if he's used properly.
I don't think I'm too bothered whether he goes or leaves if things stay the same. In some ways letting him go simplifies things for the manager.
