Joorabchian quoted in Wednesday's papers;
A fascinating insight into the cretinous toad's relationship with the club and Garry Cook in particular (yesterday's Times);
Joorabchian's motives stink to high heaven, but it seems that good ol' Cookie isn't entirely blameless in this whole affair.
Last night Joorabchian said Tevez would not go on strike and would continue to give his best until a decision over his future was made, claiming that it was the club's failure to fulfil specific "promises" made last summer that was to blame for the dispute. He told the Daily Telegraph: "I want to be clear that Carlos has never said he is not going to play, train or be professional. He will play if picked and 100% do his best." He added: "The club and Carlos have to try and find an amicable solution here. Everyone is being hurt by this right now."
He told The Times: "They made him some promises, he made them some promises. In his view they didn't keep theirs and he kept his. City know those issues weren't about money. City say they have e-mails saying this is all about money. They made Carlos a very generous offer which he rejected. But I can tell you there is no financial reasoning behind Carlos's decision. They can publish the e-mails if they want to."
Joorabchian also laid the blame for the fallout firmly at the door of Cook, saying: "Garry Cook thinks he is bigger than Tevez. He is trying to make this an issue between him and me when it should be nothing of the sort. He might feel that he is a very important person but he isn't." <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/15/edin-dzeko-manchester-city" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010 ... ester-city</a>
