TEVEZ wants to quit because club broke his promises

CARLOS TEVEZ wants to quit Manchester City because the club broke specific promises made to him.

Star striker Tevez rocked Eastlands to its foundations when he handed in a written transfer request last week.
But SunSport can reveal that rather than a wrangle over cash, the breaker was particular verbal agreements which City reneged on when they came to putting a record-busting contract offer in writing.
Speaking for the first time since skipper Tevez vowed to quit, his advisor Kia Joorabchian said: "At the end of last season Carlos was very disappointed and upset after City didn't qualify for the Champions League.
"He'd seen things which had gone on in the season and he made his feelings known. He felt maybe the time had come for him to move on, but City wanted him to stay.
"Carlos believes that he had certain promises and personal assurances made to him, which had nothing to do with money and he was let down.
"The chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak spoke to Carlos in August and made it clear they didn't want to lose him.
"There were issues Carlos raised and it was requested that if he stayed calm until after the transfer window, and City concentrated on their transfer targets, then in September his concerns would be addressed.
"They made him some promises, he made them some promises. In his view they didn't keep theirs and he kept his.
"The specific details can't be revealed because we are bound by confidentiality. But City know those issues weren't about money.
"Their offer would have made Carlos easily the highest-paid Premier League player."
Joorabchian insisted, however, Tevez would NOT go on strike. He added: "Carlos will continue to play and give 100 percent as he always has."
Defender Micah Richards admits he would be "gutted" if Tevez, who reported for training yesterday following a four-day break in Tenerife, left.
Richards posted on his Twitter page: "Seen so many players come and go but Carlos would b a big loss if he left.
"Id b gutted same sort of feeling as when dunney and superman left."
Tevez is due to miss tomorrow's Europa League match against Juventus — and so could Mario Balotelli.
Boss Roberto Mancini has apparently had a change of heart, according to reports in Italy, after initially saying the ex-Inter Milan strike ace would travel.
Balotelli, 20, suffered racist abuse at the hands of some Juve fans last season. He was also targeted by hardcore Italy supporters during a friendly against Romania in Austria.
