Carlos Tevez controversy rumbles on

by

Carlos Tevez controversy rumbles on Carlos Tevez is facing a misconduct charge by his club after he refused to warm up before a game. The incident occurred when the striker for Manchester city refused to go on the field before a game. The striker has said that while he did not refuse to play, he did say that he would not warm up. The clubs lawyers are currently looking at the terms of the players fifty million pounds contract to see if he has breached a condition.

An interview was conducted at the player’s house by legal representatives and people from the clubs HR team. This was decided to be held away from the clubs building as they feared that the media situation would get out of hand. Tevez maintains that when he was asked to go on as a substitute he said that he would not warm up because he had done it already. Mancini, the club manager claims that he refused to play altogether.

Tevez has said that he will not apologise to the manager because he believes that he has not done anything wrong. However, an interview with the player after the match clearly shows him stating that he, ‘did not want to play.’ The footage from the interview will form a part of the internal investigation, as will testimony from the clubs trainers who said that events unfolded in the way Mancini describes, not in the way Tevez says. A decision is due by the end of the week and right now it does not look like Tevez will avoid punishment.

If the player is found to have committed misconduct then he will be fined two weeks in pay. This will just be a start of the proceedings as the player will then have to face the Professional Footballers Association which may choose to ban and fine him further.

FA looking for new ‘Carling Cup’ sponsor

FA looking for new ‘Carling Cup’ sponsor The Carling Cup has lost its sponsor and the Football Association is going to be looking for a new one to pick up a sponsorship deal after this current season. Molson Coors will be ending their fourteen year association with the cup and will not be sponsoring it again once this season has finished. The League may have trouble finding a sponsor because they are having to do so at a time when most clubs are not really too interested in the Carling Cup.

Greg Clarke is the chairman of the League and has said, “This is the first time in a long time that one of the major cups in the UK is open for sponsorship. We are hoping that the market will respond well to the news that there is a sponsorship deal available. This cup will have a great appeal for sponsors because British football is now being broadcast in 150 countries around the world. We are very grateful to Molson Coors for the valuable work we have done with them over the last fourteen years; it has been a very positive partnership.”

Molson Coors commented, “It has been a great opportunity for us to work with the Football League and we are very proud of what we have been able to do as partners. Despite the contract being up we are continuing to talk with the League about the future of the cup. In the mean times we are still the sponsors for the cup for this season and we are working our hardest to make it the best competition yet and look forward to the upcoming fixtures.”
