Tevez suspended - OS

[BELFAST_BLUE_BOY]

Let him play golf till Jan and then get rid at a loss....forget the legal action as it will just be a circus and the only winners will be lawyers....he is a cancer in the club and need to get him out totally...we have a great season ahead and have made a good start without his goals....take a loss,fuck the money and get rid asap!

trust me he wont be being paid,take it from someone who has been suspended from work before.
i was found guilty of being too damn good lucking!! ;)

I am equally certain that he will be getting paid. Until the case has been fully investigated, you cannot legally withhold pay. Likewise, if a player is accused of rape, he shouldn't be punished until the verdict has been reached.

Depends on the terms of the contract.

If it is found that he refused to play then the club is in a stronger position to suspend his pay.

If it turns out it was a miscommunication or it cannot be determined what actually took place beyond any reasonable doubt then we will have to pay wages to someone that a manager doesn't want to play.

As I have stated before hopefully the Corinthians deal can be revisited in January.

Having Tevez on our books may have implications for our first team squad numbers and Europe so its important we get a quality replacement in January for the run in.

He'll surely have the clubs lined up with lots of cash after refusing to play.

Isn't this situation even refusing to work and breach of contract

i believe there were lawyers debating this and they were basically saying that if he did it (which clearly he has and will be easy to prove) it is a breach of contract but also we have to be careful about what we do.

Chelsea sacked Mutu back in the day for breach of contract and then later sued him for loss of a transfer fee once he was playing again so I think we have good grounds to basically fuck him off and get the money later which is a result

Happy the club suspended hium quickly and fully back Bobby

City - nobody bigger than the club Tevez you are a disgrace and should but wont be ashamed

I dont think we should sit him in the reserves it would be an insult to them

Just send the fucker back to South America.

I think people are misunderstanding what "rip up his contract" means.

To rip up his contract, we would sack him and quite probably sue him. However, we would still own his player registration and would command a fee if he wanted to play for any other club.

Lets see what the investigation drags up...I feel sorry for the likes of zabba and the others on the bench at the time who aer going to have to get dragged into this..of course they will tell the truth but it shouldnt be something that they have to concentrate on at all.

A key witness will also be the member of staff (physio/doctor) who is seen talking to Tevez as he gets up and then suddenly sits back down...does anyone know who this is....you can see him clearly on the video footage of the incident????

The one thing i hate about all this (well along with losing a world class player) is that we are giving the mass media what they want...they have wanted to weaken are team since the start of the season and Tevez reaction/behaviour has given them this opportunity. Mancini also pored petrol onto the fire with his after match interview (which probably wasnt the best thing to do....maybe this was one of tjose occasions where he should have sent plat or kidd out as he was clearly (and understandably) extremely annoyed and emotional.

the next key thing is a replacement as well....a top quality replacement and that..even with all the money in the world wont be easy

Re: tevez suspended OS

I wanted him to play for the last few mins v Blackburn aha.

looks like balo and aguero upfront then as bobby said Dzeko is staying on the bench with him!

I want the shitehawk on the bench once a month until he goes, and an 'adebayor' appearance in injury time to give the faithful a chance to raise the roof and fling his apology back at him.

Do a pre contract agreement with Corinthians for Jan (they said theyd have the money then, didnt they?), send him to train with them for the next 3 months. Get him as far away from here as possible, we dont need this circus hanging over us whilst going for the title and champs league.

The process is not going to be particularly quick, with City acutely aware of the importance of going through the appropriate channels to cover the club should the dispute develop into a legal battle. They are so determined to present a watertight case they intend to interview everyone who was in City's dugout when the controversy flared up.

Tevez may be required to attend a formal disciplinary hearing and will almost certainly be fined two weeks' wages, the maximum amount permitted. As the highest earner at the club and in the Premier League, that amounts to £500,000, the biggest fine ever meted out to a player in English football.

Tevez had issued a statement through his advisers earlier in the day apologising to the club's supporters but denying he had refused to play, blaming "confusion on the bench". However, that is undermined by his interview directly after the match, when he admitted going against his manager. His new version of events has been ridiculed behind the scenes at the Etihad Arena, where there is the sense of compelling evidence in Mancini's favour.

City have already compiled a dossier of Tevez's previous misdemeanours and are keeping all possibilities open as they contemplate what to do with a player who would ordinarily be valued as one of the club's main assets. The top-end option is to terminate his contract and launch legal action. High-level sources at the Premier League believe Tevez is "sackable" and Jim Boyce, the vice-president of Fifa, has said his organisation would then investigate imposing a worldwide ban on the Argentinian.

"If he has done what has been said, and it appears there is no doubt about it, I think his club would be better off with him not being part of it," Boyce said.

"If Manchester City prove it, write to Fifa and state the exact circumstances, I believe Fifa should have the power, as they do for drugs-related cases and other cases, to ban the player from taking an active part in football. I would have no problem with that whatsoever. It hasn't occurred before, but I think what happened [with Tevez] was despicable."

Mancini spent a long part of the day discussing the matter with Mubarak and asked for a suspension to be invoked that would mean Tevez was not allowed at the stadium or the training ground. The players were on a day off but report for duty on Thursday and Mancini has told Mubarak he will not accept Tevez being involved in first-team sessions.
