Seems it effects his views when it involves Tarabat. There are many similarties with Tevez and Tarabat.
2. I wouldn't have Tevez – not for all the tea in China
I wouldn't have Carlos Tevez in any team of mine after what he did in Munich, irrespective of how good he is after that. What happened really is a nightmare for a manager. I can't see any winners in it and without a doubt it'll affect the squad as there'll be one or two in his camp.
It's all right people saying Man City should just keep him on the bench, but that's difficult when you're paying him £250,000 a week. The PFA will make sure he's only fined two weeks' wages for it, but he should really have a much bigger punishment for doing something so unprofessional and there's got to be a change to make sure a manager is never put in the same position again.
I can just imagine Sir Alex watching it later and having a quiet smile over his red wine. There is no way he would have let Tevez go if it was just about football ability.
I've never had a player behave like that though I did once leave one out of the 16 as I thought he might not accept being on the bench. I'd tell you who it was, but the truth is I can't remember. The Tevez incident overshadowed Edin Dzeko's reaction to being substituted. That also upset Roberto Mancini but it wouldn't have bothered me. I've had several players show their anger at me at being substituted – you pretty much expected it with Clinton Morrison – but I didn't mind. It usually showed they were not only frustrated at coming off but at their own performance as well.
Some managers just announce the team without saying anything but I've always wanted to tell a player that I'm leaving him out, and the reasons. I think you get a bit more respect doing that and it reduces the possibility of a confrontation which could be hard to undo.
