Still think this whole situation is being managed to facilitate a smooth exit for Tevez in the summer, and to allow us to get a decent return.
That said, reading his quotes, apparently none of this is his fault, its ALL Mancini's, and it is all a huge misunderstanding, but none of it his. It doesn't read good, and if it is supposed to be an opening gambit in healing things with the club/Mancini, its a pretty shit one.
This is a bit like the Suarez race thing, it should have been dealt with way back, (I think most thought it was!) but this has dragged it right back into the present, battle lines are drawn (particularly between supporters), the press vultures are circling and the situation is worrying.
The next weeks are going to be interesting to say the least.
