FACT: City have bent over backwards to both make him "welcome" and provide him ALL the financial and emotional support ANY club in the world COULD have given him.
FACT: His family issues are COMPLETELY of his own making, NOT City's.
FACT: As Club Captain, he has a responsibility to BOTH learn some decent English and NOT react like a spoiled brat when the BOSS acts like a BOSS and makes a tactical change WHENEVER HE WANTS.
FACT: He is the highest paid player at the club and has been treated like a King by the supporters, most of whom DREAM about making his season's pay in an entire lifetime.
FACT: If his problems are with the EXECUTIVES at City, then he needs to STFU, play the football he is being paid to play and HONOR the MASSIVE contract his buddy, Kia, agreed he should sign.
He stays until someone pays us what a player who scores in the EPL once very 1.6 games SHOULD BE WORTH. Maybe Kia should buy out his contract AGAIN from the £60M HE has made from Tevez in the last few years?!!
I have cheered, sung and clapped along with everyone else at every step. However, players come and players go (at City more than most places!) and, while Tevez had the chance to be among the pantheon who gave their best years to this club for a small fraction of what he gets for it today, THIS action will NEVER allow him to get there for me.
I'm grateful for the strike rate. I'm grateful for the chance of success he has helped create for the club this season. However, beyond that, he is just another of the replaceable faces who have worn a sky blue shirt over the 40 years I have been following the club. Good luck to him, but BETTER luck to CIty. THEY are who I support, not the individual players for whom I may have an affinity.

Some blues have indicated it might be a silver lining.
Would those blues have any idea of what Cook has achieved since being at the club? I would suggest not.
Personally, I trust Khaldoon's judgement, and so should other blues.

FACT The rest of the players would have known what was going on before the West Ham game and Tevez leaving didn't seem to bother them. We will see if that continues against Juve & Everton.
Since when has a player needed to have any relationship whatsover with someone who sits on the board?
It is fcking ludicrous....
My thought process is
Madrid got dicked by Barca. Madrid chairman shits himself and says to Mourinho "Who do you want in Jan"
Mourinho says Tevez
Chairman on phone to Kia...The rest is history.
He isnt going back to Argentina. The fact he got caught with his pants down is his own fault anyway so I dont blame his missus for going back to her own country. He should have thought about that before he nobbed someone else.
