[Imy]

Sensible outcome.

It will be interesting to find out who will be their new CEO.

[Fivex]

I hope so Imy

They'll have much more sense than that, though.

[Arn]

Please, please, please........

So in a nut shell, 'my account was hacked' was bull ****

What an idiot.

The excuse was almost as bad as the insult. What a childish cunt.

[Pablo]

That shirt/tie combo is just absolutely

[Gaz]

Small error of judgement?

Why don't you just try not being a cunt, eh Garry?

[Kenneth]

Caught being a prick and caught lying about it. Oh dear.

[Buzzo]

[ WTF!!! Who expected all this when clicking on the Man Citeh thread.

Garry Cook = Cunt.

His excuse was pathetic and he was so obviously going to get found out.

[Craig_H]

Garry Cook gone

Farewell brother.

Sensible outcome.

It will be interesting to find out who will be their new CEO.

Kenyon?

Tevez stripped of Captaincy

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Carlos Tevez has been permanently stripped of the club captaincy.

Tevez's future was in doubt all summer after he revealed his unhappiness about life in Manchester.

Moves to Corinthians and Inter Milan failed to materialise and Tevez has now remained at the Etihad Stadium.

During the Tevez saga, which ran over into the new season, Vincent Kompany took the armband and the Belgian admitted he was unsure whether he would remain captain.

But now Mancini has confirmed that, even though Tevez is back in the squad, Kompany is officially the new City skipper.

"The captain is Vinny Kompany, The reason is simple - Carlos in the summer wanted to leave the club for family reasons," said Mancini.

"I respected his opinion to leave the club. But Carlos is here now, we didn't find any solution for him.

"He is a fantastic player for us because he can score 20 goals in one year - but I decided in the summer Vinny was the captain."

[Neil Young]

I think he'd have stood a better chance of keeping his job if he'd admitted it and apologised profusely (and immediately) for a lapse of judgement in an email intended to be private and sent while on holiday. As it was he just added insult to injury.

It serves him right.

And Man City should have sacked him sooner but perhaps there were legal issues that needed to be resolved.

Bollocks, they might get somebody good in now.

[Neil Young]

He got a fair amount of positive press this week about his effectiveness at Man City. I don't know whether it's justified or simply his mates in the media helping him out with some positive spin as he desperately tried to keep his job.

If it is true then they may get someone less embarrassing but also less effective.

I suspect really it'll make f*ck all difference.
