No, he doesn't (we are actually top of the league - I don't understand the desperation of some on here), and I don't think he wants to.

Later on after Big Mal left,he claimed that he should never have signed him,at that particular time.

To me this has always been about the best interests of City, which is why an unreserved apology was always an imperative in order for the club to assert its authority.
Now that has been forthcoming, it would be churlish of me to tell him to fuck off, tempting though that is.
That said, as far as I'm concerned he's only there as insurance if Mario/Sergio gets injured (or god forbid in Mario's case, suspended) and Edin's form continues in the same vein as of late. This will also mean we can sell him for decent money in the summer hopefully if he contributes anything worthwhile.
It's never been about winning at all costs but he's done enough with this statement for me to be pragmatic and accept that he's just about done enough for me to put my feelings about him to one side.
So you're an option now Carlos, but nothing more.

Tevez's statements don't mean anything IMO. I've heard him talk bollocks so many times in these things that you know it's just standard PR exposure, not the true feelings of him.
In saying that, I will back Mancini's decision 100%. He is the gaffer and he will know if it's right or not integrating Tevez back in.
My stance has lessoned a little bit whilst looking at our tougher run in to the end. I still wouldn't cheer him but maybe It could deliver us the league. It's only ever going to have two outcomes, either he will leave in Summer with the fans approval, or he will leave in Summer a villian and the cause of us not winning the league.

If he comes out on the pitch tomorrow afternoon and apologises to the city fans, then all's forgiven IMO

it is not time to move on... it could well be time to derail citys title challenge, it may well be time to fuck up the team spirit that has been carefully nutured throughout this magnificent season, and you know what,..it could just be time for a spoilt brat of a stiker to declare his endless love for city and walk back into the team to pick up a medal(just like the before the cup final last season v stoke)..but one thing it def isn,t marvin is time to move on!!
just picture the scene marvin..city win the title at newcastle(again) and jubilant city fans drape a blue scarf around tevez,s neck as the party starts...tevez throws the scarf to the floor and refuses to be pictured wearing it(just like wembley against stoke?) how would you feel? a great memory to look back on for the next 40 years...oh great.
its not time to move on. its time to move tevez on.
