They are not the problem, Kia fucking knob head Joorabchian is the problem. He seriously needs to be reined in. He is just like a puppet master controlling the strings. He has got rid of Cook now he is going for Mancini. He wheels out Hughes as a puppet at will. He has already used Onuoha. That only leaves NDJ. Has anyone else noticed how unhappy Nige is looking recently and his contract negotiations haven't gone well. I wonder why?
I am beginning to believe that if the Tevez camp persist in trying to defend the indefensible and even attempt to go on the attack the Sheik will decide to let him rot for the rest of his contract and effectively ruin his football career.

Can't help but think he maybe using it for his own exposure too. I cannot recall him doing a big press statement when Plymouth players weren't (and still aren't being paid) and backing their strike action.
As PB and Macca have said, I too used to be a rep and the cases I was trained not to have an opinion on them but to defend them the best you could. They might not morally have a hope in hell but if the company has cocked up procedually it's your job to point that out. In the Carlos case I cannot see City cocking the case up procedually by the amount of legal advice they have sought. They have made the case watertight and I believe would be ruthless enough to let him sit on his arse for 3 years on his contract as an example to any other present or future player at the club.
I agree and also agree with 99% of the comments on what should happen to him however the club may have one little concern, Publicity from around the world and how this could affect.

(Reuters) - Carlos Tevez should not have been fined four weeks' wages by Manchester City as he did not refuse to play in last month's Champions League match at Bayern Munich, England's Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said on Thursday.
"The PFA's opinion, based on all the evidence presented, is that Carlos Tevez never refused to play for the club," a statement said.
Following a disciplinary hearing that took place on Friday where PFA chief Gordon Taylor was in attendance, the Argentine international was fined on Tuesday after it was deemed he had committed five separate breaches of contract.
They included "an obligation to participate in any matches in which the player is selected to play ... when directed by a club official."
The PFA disagreed with Tuesday's ruling and have given their support to Tevez.
"This is accepted by the club in that the charge against Carlos made at the hearing was not one of refusing to play," the statement added.
"As such the PFA considers that there is no justification for a fine other than up to the prescribed sanction of 2 weeks wages agreed by the FA, the Premier League and PFA.
"The PFA has informed the Manchester City Football Club accordingly and Carlos will continue to be supported by the PFA in this regard."
After the 2-0 defeat at Bayern, furious manager Roberto Mancini told reporters Tevez had refused his request to go on as a second-half substitute.
The player later denied the accusation, saying he had not been asked to go on but to warm up and he felt he had already warmed up sufficiently.
Mancini said the player would never play for him again and media reports have speculated that Tevez, who again asked for a move in the last transfer window as he is unhappy in Manchester, will be sold in January whatever happens with the case.
