Who do you blame over Tevez's fight to quit Manchester City? Carlos Tevez has rocked Manchester City by handing in a transfer request at Eastlands. The striker claims he is homesick and that he has fallen out with City chiefs, while the club insist they have done everything to help their captain. So, who do you think is at fault for the dramatic developments? TELL US WHAT YOU THINK Tevez won't speak to manager Roberto Mancini as the Italian is set to stay in his homeland ahead of Thursday's Europa League match away to Juventus.[LNB]Richards, writing on Twitter, revealedthat Tevez's departure would hit City badly but that the club would have to move on.[LNB]The City defender said: 'I can't say much on Carlos and he's a top guy, but whatever happens - onwards & upwards. Gaffer will be in control & we're focused on next game.[LNB]'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 [Richard Dunne] and Superman [Stephen Ireland] left.'[LNB]Mancini will launch an attempt to keep Tevez at Manchester City at a training-ground meeting on Friday.
