The attitude of Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini, the "insubordination" Carlos Tevez had the support of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. According to him, the manager is the most important.
When Tevez refused to play in the City game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last Tuesday, Mancini implies that the future of the players at the club was "finished". He also grabbed the Argentina international players for two weeks.
Mancini action is deemed appropriate by Fergie, who incidentally had also become the boss Tevez at Old Trafford, from 2007 to 2009.
"Roberto has shown strength of character, power management, and that's important," said Sir Alex told the BBC on Friday (09/30/2011).
"At a football club, nothing is more important than the manager," he continued.
Ferguson had experienced a similar situation with Mancini in November 2001. When it refused to play after Paul Scholes picked for second-tier team to perform at the Carling Cup for Arsenal, while he was not uninvolved in the previous matches in the league MU - losing to Liverpool.
"We all have our own experiences in overcoming difficulties, and we have to cope as best we can," said Fergie.
Scholes himself admitted his actions were wrong at the time. He had resigned if Fergie to drive it, but the consequences of bad luck that did not happen, after she apologized.
"I realized it was stupid. I lowered my manager and I'm sorry. This is probably similar to that envisaged by Carlos Tevez, if true he refused to go to the field," said Scholes.
"Regarding what I've done that time, the manager could have fired me, and do whatever he wants about me. I'm sorry because I immediately realized it was a very big mistake. He punishes me with maximum fines. The story was finished, and I immediately think will be played in the next game. "
