Tevez backs down ?

[chesterguy]

I think this has been done in a calculated way to try and stir up more unrest and trouble. His family is over here so why does he need to go back to Argentina for a rest.

Surely the 10% rule is now not to be invoked as the player who is on a strict training regime has failed to adhere to this training therefore making himself unable for matches

Could I just clarify something? There is a lot of talk about us 'downgrading' the charge from refusal to play to refusal to warm up, but the official charge from the club itself is refusal to participate. Is this a case of the media thinking its been downgraded when in fact refusal to participate covers both playing or warming up, or that refusal to participate is a fancy way of saying he wouldn't warm up?

Another twist, he has now gone back to Argentina for a rest, he has to report for training this morning so it will be interesting to see what happens if true.

So if he's fucked off to argentina against club orders, what's our next move ?

Also suggested that he's missed a few training sessions.

Great news if true. Reduces the prospect of him playing for City again.

Get rid of his locker at Carrington, Ban Corned Beef from the Club and give the Falklands to Brazil.

Fine him another 2 weeks wages.

Interesting that his lack of training is being put into the public domain, reckon this is probably an early shot fired in case Tevez is looking at using this 10% rule.

If we can say that he wasn't fit for a significant portion of the season it may help justify not playing him in 10% of competitive matches.

And if he misses training, fine him the two weeks, and do it again for the next session he misses. We could end up making a fortune out of it.

Backs down and does one? Can't see him coming back now.

The Club found that he was guilty of refusing to participate. He didn't participate because he was not asked to. Clearly, the Club interprets the refusal to warm up as refusing to participate. Legally that must be open to challenge but that is up to Tevez; perhaps he will, perhaps he won't.
My point all along is that he may not have refused to play, and that theory was backed up by the Club dropping that charge. (repeated again now by ESPN, by the way), The findings of the inquiry do not contradict that.

Now get a grip on yourself you prat.

How could he be guilty of refusing to participate if he was not asked to??

Very much this and he didn't appeal it as he is banged to rights. By the way, your defence of him is laughable seeing as he didnt bother defending himself of these charges.
