What a sad story this is. He was our hero. fought for everything. a leader in many ways.
He captained our team to champions league qualification and to our first piece of silverware in 35 years.
One couldn't predict how sour this story has unfolded since the day he lifted that trophy pitch-side with Mancini at Wembley
I don't think many blues will dwell on this after he has left. Our future is bright.
The only person that will feel shortchanged is Tevez. We are going places. He (in many ways) is not. His life will be full of regrets. This will be his biggest.
I'll give you another version. He was a player who, along with his advisor, leaked every cough and splutter from the dressing room to undermine Mancini.
Who spat his dummy out even further in the summer of 2010 when he discovered Mourinho was not coming and demanded to leave, before his snake was ordered to heel in Abu Dhabi.
Who plotted a formal transfer request in December 2010 (days after we had gone top of the table) and courted Real Madrid.
Who again downed tools from that moment onwards with a series of half-arsed displays and trips halfway across the globe to see his girlfriend in Berlin and Spain.
Who came back injured for the FA Cup Final only because he wanted the personal glory and used our scarf like a piece of toilet paper.
Who refused to go on the FA Cup bus tour until threatened with a fine.
Who submitted another transfer request in the summer and plotted with Corinthians to pretend to buy him before he would be surprisingly sold back to Europe months after.
Who came back over a stone in weight after his extended holiday and was already in the ear of Sergio telling him he would hate England.
Who then decided on our biggest ever night in the Champions League to refuse to play/warm up, just days after he had been told his £5m loyalty bonus would not be paid.
Who accused our manager of lying and throwing all manner of subsequent olive banches back in his face.
Who finally decided to fuck off back to South America when he couldn't hack his half an hour a day training on his own.
Who challenged our fine and had it reduced by £400,00
Who has continued to receive payment.
Who plotted with AC Milan to force City into a corner.
Who plotted with The Sun to leak Gary Cook/Onouha farce a year after the actual event.
Who gambled he was bigger than the club and found he was anything but.
Who indeed!
