Post subject: Re: The Tevez argument/Cheeseman {merged - enough threads now }
"I hope we can put this to bed as a misunderstanding and tevez thought he was refusing to warm up, not to not play. Still a misdemeanour but not as bad.
lets face it, tevez is thick, he grew up in a slum with no education and he's made a mistake one that in the cold light of day he probably regrets.
There is no point cutting our nose off to spite our face. That way we protect our investment and get the benefit of still being able to play him as we can ill afford to only have three strikers.
Off course the press are delighted for us to lose a world class striker. Wake up and smell the coffee."
Excellent post Blue Mooner.
There seems to be quite a few rag fans on this thread who would love to see us get rid of a world class player who the rags couldn`t afford to keep.
He made a mistake but whenever he has played for us he has always given 100%. Surely he has done enough for this club to be given the benefit of the doubt ? It`s not as though he`s a granny shagger or a sister-in-law shagger or trying to cover up a 13year affair - IS IT ?
He deserves a second chance and when the january transfer window arrives he can go, if the appropriate bid is received and we have secured a replacement.
Personally I think Roberto was wrong to go public with this and it should have been dealt with behind closed doors.
There is an old saying - "Don`t Wash Your Dirty Linen In Public".
As far as I'm concerned as long as it doesn't impact on the club players can screw grannies, sister-in-laws, and have as many affairs as they want. However I will not accept a player trying to screw the club.
Mancini handled this beautifully pulling the rug from under Tevez's feet before he could try to justify his actions. In his interview Tevez reacted superbly, from the club's point of view, in confirming Mancini's comment.
