The News of the World Tevez interview

If he wanted to, really wanted to go back to Argentina to be with his family he could easily do it. The money he has earned since being in England he could easily buy out his contract. City now offering an improved contract and it's job done. It's all it's ever been about.

Good on the board for offering him what it takes to keep him here.

He's a unique player, irreplaceable.

In response to stony and us not being a big club for letting him do this while in some respects i agree we have bent over as far as we should for this whinger. Its not without precident when you think how far the rags bent over for rooney, how far the dippers bent over for gerrard and torres, how far the arse bent over for viera and henty constantly and fabregas last year.

I think Rooney was a special case. Ferguson has always clamped down hard on any player he thinks isn't towing the party line or is failing to respect him or the club.
Beckham, Ince and Stam where all shown the door at the peak of their careers for just this type of thing.
The fact that Rooney escaped this punishment is down to a pretty unique set of circumstances.
For the first time since the late 60s early 70s City are genuine rivals. There have been murmurings that Utd were finally about to fall off their perch and relinquish the spot of tops dogs in Manchester.
Losing Tevez to us would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Not only did this happen, they where also embarrassed by probably the most successful piece of PR that the Premier league has ever seen. The Welcome to Manchester poster hurt them more than bacon face will ever admit and the idea of us repeating that with Rooney must have given him more than one sleepless night.

Rooney coming to us would have been disastrous for Utd. Not just for what he brings on the pitch but for what it would have said about our rise and their perceived impending fall.

He had no choice but to bend over for whatever Rooney wanted and you can be damn sure it hurt. Whatever damage to Fergusons reputation the Rooney saga did it would have paled into insignificance at the damage to Utds reputation around the world had Rooney actually made the short trip into Manchester to sign for City.
 
I dont disagree with you im just saying we arent the first club who have bent over backwards to keep what they percieve as there top player and no one thinks the rags, dippers and the arse arent big clubs for doing just that

Respect - this is the key word in all this saga. Regardless of what Tevez wants to do, the way him and/or his agent go about it continually shows a lack of respect for the club and management.

You can accept his position but at least have the respect not to tarnish the club whilst doing it.
 
What I don't get is how can he say "Manchester is my second home" and then, practically in the same breath, say "I will never come back to Manchester. Ever! Not even for a holiday"?

The guy clearly has issues.
 
Tbh iam sick of this..... i love him but more interviews isnt helping the cause ..ours and his .!.The club imho have bent over backwards for him so. IF carlos wants out then get on with it m8. And lets all move on
 
"tevez stays. No team pays £10m a year for 5yrs and £40m to sign him. That's a £90m investment on one tool. Don't see it"

This was Ashton's tweet when asked is gut feeling on whether Tevez will stay or go.
