That's a CL stipulation, not a namby pamby rule such as the one that the BBC try and enforce for the Prem. Hell UEFA run a tight ship, they move fans from rows 1&2 for extra sponsor space ffs.
I'll lecture you quite happily thanks. Second guessing without a shred of empathy for the situation is hardly fair is it?
How should Mancini have handled the question about not putting a striker on given the fact he HAD to attend a post match interview AND a press conference? Please enlighten me. Even if he'd broken the rules and not attended then the press would have torn him a new one for not explaining his lack of a striking substituion. Why should he take the flak for Tevez's gross misconduct? A retraction would be fine if you can't come up with a suitable solution.
However, where did I say that he should take the flak for the Tevez situation? All I was pointing out is that Tevez 'played' him. If you cant see that then I can't add anything more.
By not answering the question put to him "Why did you not bring Tevez on?", he would have been slaughtered for not trying to win (or atleast come back into) the game against Bayern. That is how he'd have taken the flak Mack. Not rocket science and I'm not being funny.
Tevez played no one., Tevez and his camp are in the shit and know it. If anything Mancini has "played" him and Kia. He now has almost unanimous support to rid the club of a player he doesn't want to work with.

So poor Roberto would have been slaughtered would he? My heart fucking bleeds. How about putting the clubs best interests ahead of his own gigantic ego for once? You got one thing right though, Mancini got exactly what he wanted. Very clever.

If people looked a little deeper, perhaps they'd be chanting for our owner, rather than Roberto.
What League position do you think we 'd have had in more normal financial circumstances under Mancini? and how far ahead of the Rags might we have been with a manager who could have handled, and seen the value of, Bellamy, Adebayor, Ireland, Tevez and Petrov and Given, who have all been sold cheaply or sent on loan?
Loyalty is essential, but it should be to the Club, not our present, blundering manager
We chant for both fella. Shocked you aren't aware of this.
Fuck me, are you Peter Scheimcel ?bluefandk said:de niro said:bluefandk said:50 mill? Who ever wanted to pay 50 mill for Tevez?
The only person refusing to do his job is Tevez.
Only people who knows fuck all about flltball would blame this on Mancini.

Who is stopping them from having their say?
They are having their say and so am I.
Stop trying to play the victim card its boring and pathetic.
i wont pretend to know what the fuck you are on about except that by saying people "know fuck all about football" because they have different view to you is a bit precious sunshine.
Sunshine? Are you now pretending to star in some movie or what is that all about dear?
In my humble opinion they know nothing about football, thats what this board is all bout expressing your opinion.
If they think Im wrong they are welcome to prove me wrong.
I wont be holding my breath though.
