So reading the Daily Mirror article below this morning it appears City got it wrong, Tevez did not refuse to come off the bench.
The press in the country have vilified him, leading to fans of City and opposing teams to hate the guy.
Guilty before proven innocent

Wrong About Tevez

The club aren't backing Tevez, they are trying to draw a line under the matter so he is more appealing to potential buyers - Basically like spraying over a rusty patch on a car before you flog it.
Tevez has been stripped of the captaincy, had his '32' squad number and is being made to train alone. The club are aware that Tevez may try to drag them through the courts so it's just now a matter of 'Whatever'.
He's already cost the club £20m in potential transfer money, we don't want to lose anymore. The worlds' media and the wums may have a go but everyone who's connected to the club knows what's what and that's all that matters.

What would you have said if scholes refusing to play against arsenal had come out at the time Betamax

Of course we could have done a 'Rooney' and doubled his wages and got him to come out with soundbites like 'I was a bit rash' or 'There was no chance I would sign for Liverpool and even less chance of me signing for City'.
We could all then love him again and pretend it never happened.

What's with all this idiotic talk about Tevez having us by the "short and curlies"?
How exactly? By dictating when he will and will not play?
Be careful answering that question betamax, it is a loaded one.

Betamax, is there any chance of me having your phone number - I could offer you a great deal on double glazing, clear your debts and get get you a large compensation payment for the time you got your todger caught in the bathroom door.

I bet Betamax thought OJ Simpson was innocent because he was found not guilty in a court of law.
