MANCHESTER, England (AP) Manchester City has apologized to Alex Ferguson
after Carlos Tevez held up a placard taunting the Manchester United manager
during the club's Premier League trophy parade.
Tevez held a sign with the text ''R.I.P. Fergie'' high over his head while
aboard City's open-top bus, which traveled by 100,000 fans in Manchester on
Monday.
Tevez left United to make the rare move across Manchester to City in 2009
after being unhappy at his lack of playing time under Ferguson.
City said in a statement that ''the creation of the tasteless material is in
itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a
significant error of judgment.''
City added that it ''wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex
Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club for any offense or distress
caused.''
Tevez left United to make the rare move across Manchester to City in 2009
after being unhappy at his lack of playing time under Ferguson.
''I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didn't
mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a
manager,'' Tevez said.
The incident comes at the end of a season full of turmoil for Tevez, who
spent several months in Argentina during a dispute with City which cost him
more than $15 million in fines and lost earnings.
City beat United to the title on goal difference on Sunday after scoring
twice in stoppage time to beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2. |
