Tevez....

Tevez refused to play! The fact that City are only charging him with refusing to warm up isn't that "all the bench refused to back Mancini" as the tabloids are saying, it's because City's legal team will have told the club that getting it to be watertight would be difficult, and even finding him guilty of it wouldn't mean we could sack him.
By charging him with refusing to warm up, the club are guaranteeing Tevez can't appeal (he has admitted the offence already), keeps his nominal sell-on value slightly higher, whilst still meaning that Mancini need never pick him again.
 
hmmm

wonder what the outcome, projected perception if you like, of mancini's claim will be

as i've said in many tevez threads, i WILL wait to see what come's out after the investigation. it seems there were two sides afterall

100% behind mancini and i can understand why he lost his head, i would of done it sooner in his position

i thought then that tevez would play for us again, now i'm more convinced.
 
Fook me, so basically during our biggest game in years, we have a manager who can't speak very good english, trying to get a player who can't speak very good english to warm up through the use of a translator who has been told to speak to Carlos in Spainish, with 60 thousand germans going apey...And Carlos saying he has already warmed up.

Why didn't Bobby just go over to him and ask him directly what the problem was. It would have been sorted out there and then.

"Oh, sorry old chap, I didn't know you'd already warmed up. Strip off then, coz you're going on."
 
I don't think many on here are giving the Board enough credit.
They have played this superbly from the off. Very professional.

All the leaks have come from Joorabchian & his cronies.

There are obviously numerous strands here - wanting to punish Tevez, but not so much as to totally diminish his sell on value.

Also, who ever said the charges would be about refusing to play or warm up?
This is a disciplinary action, a quasi judicial process. The charges were always going to be in lawyer-speak. Refusing to follow managers instructions was always the main charge. No change there.

Some are too quick to jump on the doom & gloom - shot ourselves in the foot brigade.

The midnight meeting at Bobby's house - both TH & DD thought this would blow up in our faces, but it came to nought.

Have faith in the Board, the process & the bigger picture.
 
I didn't want to warm up because I wasn't feeling very well. So I thought it was better not to. So I didn't think I was in a good situation to come on because my head wasn't in the right place.

I didn't. I was pleased with Mancini for attempting a solution.
