Carlos Tevez contests Manchester City fine with Premier League

[lfc4life]

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has launched an appeal to the Premier League against the fine of six weeks' wages imposed on him by the club, BBC Sport understands.

Tevez was fined ?1.2m after being found guilty of gross misconduct, and lost a subsequent appeal to the club's board.

The Premier League will now need to schedule a hearing, although it is unclear when it will take place.

The ongoing dispute has cost Tevez, 27, ?9.3m in wages, fines and lost bonuses.

It is still the case that the player is not expected to leave Manchester City before the transfer window closes on Tuesday evening and the decision to appeal against the fine will further complicate any return to the club.

Should tevez fight this or should he cut his losses ?

only place that hurts is money and bonuses ,if he gets away with it everybody will do it.

This bloke wants running out of football completely he's a total asshole.

sadly,that will not happen

All Mancini want's is an appology, he even invited him to his home which Tevez rejected. If he's clever he would appologise and if he did i wouldn't be suprised to see him back in the team, then he can do 1 in the summer. They way its going at the moment he will just get more fines, and apparantly hes going to play on Saturday in a testimonial for Boca Juniors, which will mean more fines.

what a cheeky tw*t

I thought he would have gone to Paris St Germain, he'd have been a lot closer to home then - the Notre Dame cathedral

and it's his own fault he lost ?9.3 million of his wages, that's what you get when you let Harry Redknapp do your accounts.

He wanted to play in Italy more then he did for PSG, but if it had been the other way around PSG would have no worries paying the fee.

?9.3m in wages ; wow , spoilt kid

[melloned]

Rapidly making himself unemployable in the prem, it's full of spoilt nob heads at the best, he's got to be running as top nob head, who'd have him !

[tshirtman]

Apparently he'll be flying back to Manchester next Tuesday.

[lfc4life]

yeah and he will walk back in like nothing has happened ??? but its been suggested some fans do not want him back !!! and can you blame them ?

[cactikid]

is he good enough to clean the bogs?turn your back on a club and i cant see the fans giving him a reprieve.

[Bulld0g]

He's a class player but unfortunately a first class gobshite. He can certainly give City that edge and help them win the league but as has been said, maybe the fans wont accept it. Having said that, one thing is sure and that is football fans are fickle

Can we keep Man City talk in the Man City thread please?

Doesn't happen with Liverpool or Man United posts so at least grant the new champions the same courtesy.
