City say sorry for Fergie banner

Manchester City last night apologised to Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson after striker Carlos Tevez held up a banner goading his former manager.

Tevez has also expressed his regret after he was pictured with a sign which read ’RIP Fergie’ during City’s celebratory title-winning parade in Manchester.

A City spokeswoman said: “The creation of the tasteless material is in itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a significant error of judgement.
