Shocked City point finger at Joorabchian

Manchester City have put themselves on a collision course with Carlos Tevez’s trusted adviser Kia Joorabchian after revealing they have turned down a request from the striker to leave Eastlands.

Tevez’s entire career has been guided by Joorabchian, the Iranian-born businessman who retained the South American’s registration until he joined City in a jaw-dropping move from Manchester United last year.
