As Carlos Tevez stepped onto the plane to fly home to Argentina, he sent packing any hopes of playing for Manchester City again.

Following Tevez’s unplanned trip home after being refused permission by Mancini, the chief executive of PFA Gordon Taylor has said that he is ‘very disappointed’ in the Argentinian striker.

The 27-year-old’s flee from the country meant that he missed scheduled training with the Mancini’s men.

Taylor, who represented Tevez during his alleged misconduct surrounding the Bayern Munich Champions League game, said he ‘was in danger of burning bridges’ following his recent antics.

Tevez is a massive disappointment

But the reality, Taylor’s disappointment in Tevez was a smoke screen for the PFA Chief Executive’s red face. Only weeks before, Taylor had managed to persuade those football governing bodies to half Manchester City’s initial fine – only for the argentine to throw it back in his face.

Mancini will now undoubtedly push for further punishment against his former captain, whose diva like behaviour this year has occupied the paper headlines season long.

On Tuesday, the argentine looked to have come round, having confirmed that he would not be appealing the fine. With everything looking like a lesson had been learnt, Mancini expected to see Tevez at training on Wednesday. But it was not to be.

The problem that City face is following the actions of Tevez, his value is diminishing by the second and he will be hard to offload to any club, let alone the ones that will stretch to cover his wage.

But Tevez’s self-destruct mode is induced by one man only, the consequences of which will hurt him the most. And now with a complex legal situation on the horizon, things are only about to turn worse for Tevez.

Taylor added; ‘Sometimes sorry is the toughest word but it does put an end to difficult situations and stand-offs’. However, it looks like things have long past ‘a sorry’ rectifying the situation.

It might now be the case that they look to pick holes in the Argentine’s club contract to push for termination and even try an sue Tevez for a breech in his terms.

For now though, City will need to firm up a strategy around what to do next. The situation was that Carlos needed to get back to fitness and that hasn’t happened. We’ll see more on this when, and indeed if, he returns back to England.
