And if that was the case, Mancini has absolutely no business attempting to build bridges in the dead of night.
It's a PR disaster, and I've seen a few.
You think he's done this without club backing?
What is going on?
Mancini has made reference to going down this route previously, in attempting go out of his way for Tevez.
Around the time of his last transfer request in January, it was Mancini and Khaldoun who talked him down.
Had City sanctioned it, it would be the club contacting Tevez's reps directly to set it up, as they have acted throughout the whole review process.
Not a direct phone call to Tevez on the fucking train from the manager. The only reason it didn't make in the papers yesterday was the timeline of the meet.
Tevez turned up with his mates FFS, not proper representation.
As I say, there was absolutely nothing which couldn't have been said in Mancini's office at Carrington the following day, when the players had left.
Fucking stupid in the extreme.
