And thats what he's angling for-clear as day.
He gets the push, out of contract, free agent=can play for who he likes, when he likes, and exclusively on his and his odious advisors terms. In the meantime, with his whining statement made yesterday, he comes across as the wounded, injured party-thus (they hope) painting him whiter than white in the minds of clubs that might be interested in him.
Not only that, but, by maintaining his innocence, he can angle for a pay off, ?lse suggest a "compromise" to Man City in order to avoid his-and he would-go 'public' on the matter, you can see the headlines all over the world now can't you...
WOUNDED TEVEZ
My City Dream Ruined
Altogether now-"ahhhhhh".
I hope that Man City make an example of him, suspend him for as long as they are able and then keep him in the reserves-he'll get his basic, yes, and that'll be substantial, but no bonuses. Unfortunately, they won't-economics dictate that they will hsve to get some sort of return on their investment, I hope, therefore, they absolutely refuse, period, to "make up" his wages, wherever he goes.
As for the notion that Man City players are "mercenaries" who "don't care about the club"-well, that may be true, but it implies that it only applies to them and that, somehow, players at other clubs DO care for their employers and have the social and cultural fabric of their team wrapped around them in a symbiotic embrace. Which is bollocks. I would hazard a guess that 90-95% of players are, and have, exactly the same attitude as Tevez (ie) mercenaries who go to whoever pays the biggest bucks.
We've had it ourself-Steve Bruce and Andy Townsend both made it difficult for the club to do anything other than sell them at the time and both, at the time, were under contracts that they had once been delighted to sign.
For footballs financial malaise, fix the cause not the symptom. The problem is with the game as a whole, not certain players or clubs.
