I'm not saying you haven't got a point regarding a manager actually managing a player, but if you look at the history of Tevez/Joorabchian you'll only see scorched earth. Mancini may have his faults, but failing to settle Tevez (and get him out of Joorabchian's clutches) is hardly one of them. |
No, it's a different list, which I'm keeping for when I eventually become overlord. Sort of like the opposite of a christmas list.
I don't know what Mancini was doing. Spite no, but maybe just idiocy, or as a means to get people on his side. It doesn't matter since KM had to go and be a smart arse and ruin the whole premise with cold, boring facts.
I still don't think it's been handled at all well, otherwise Tevez wouldn't still be there. It's not "entirely down to Tevez" when he made it clear he wanted to leave a year ago, and yet wasn't sold...that wasn't his decision. Here's a disruptive player who will be of no use to us and likely be a big problem, I know, lets keep him around, just for the giggles.
If you know you've got a flat tyre, and choose to drive up to Manchester on it anyway, it's not the tyre's fault when you end up stranded on the M1 with no tyre and a damaged wheel. It doesn't mean it wasn't a shit tyre, but you're the fuckwit who neither fixed or got rid of it.
Also, why does Mancini allow the club to pay Wayne Bridge thousands of pounds a week to play golf? Is this down to Carlos Tevez as well? ...Carlos Tevez told Wayne Bridge to go and take up golf and now he wont come back? Or possibly, Mancini has missmanaged the situation quite badly.
Roberto Mancini complains on numerous occasions that he doesn't have enough players, and yet at the same time, he lets one of his players swan off to play golf for about 6 months, and he lets another train with the reserves. Sorry Roberto, but children refuse to eat their dinner and then complain about being hungry. Adults manage with what they're given.
Also, if I end up having to post a link to the meaning of the word "conspiracy", I'm putting my angry hat on.
