Manchester City being forced to cut http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez’s fine in half after PFA intervene – Premier League Update
Manchester City have been forced to cut the fine that they imposed on Carlos Tevez, after the PFA intervened in the situation and ruled against the club.
Manchester City were initially hoping for the PFA to agree with what they had said and help them find a decent way to punish Tevez, but it seems like the PFA has ruled against the interest of the Manchester based club.
Gordon Taylor, who is the PFA chairman, believes that Tevez was wrong in his actions but not to the extent that City are depicting him to be.
Manchester City’s officials have been highly disappointed by the way the PFA has treated the situation and after being forced to agree to the new fine that the player will have to pay, the club issued a statement on their website which is quoted to have
said:
"The Club acknowledges that the Players' Union is the sole organisation empowered with granting the ability for clubs to levy fines greater than the two weeks provided for in player contracts.”
"However, Manchester City is disappointed by the apparent PFA conflict of interest evident in this process.”
"Carlos Tevez has been personally represented throughout by the PFA Chief Executive, on whose considerations the Club has been informed that the PFA has made its decision.”
"Without recourse to the PFA decision available, the maximum two-week fine provided for in standard player contracts will now be applied in relation to the misconduct of Carlos Tevez.”
Most managers and player find it inexplicable that the PFA has actually voted in favour of Tevez, given the fact that he practically void his contract by refusing to play in the game.
Nonetheless, the player is now going to be paying a two week wage fine, instead of the four week one that City had initially imposed on the player’s head.
Despite the fine now being reduced, it doesn’t change the fact that City are still trying to get rid of the player and that it is only going to be a couple of months before the team send him away on a permanent basis.
