Got Skills Camps

Back in November 2011, Carlos Tevez went AWOL from Manchester City for over a month resulting in the football club taking disciplinary action; charging the Argentine striker with gross misconduct. The charges meant a four-week fine (this was then forcibly reduced by the PFA to two weeks), but they gave Tevez the opportunity to appeal, which he did.

Now it has come to light that Tevez’s appeal has been rejected and, in addition to the original two week fine, they are fining him another 6-weeks wages and docking him two months pay for his continuous refusals to return from Argentina. The total cost of these fines totals £3.3 million.

To add further salt to the wound for Tevez, City have also stated they intend to withhold around £6 million worth of loyalty payments, and the club is refusing to allow the Argentine to transfer to another club for less than his estimated market value of €30 million plus.
