QPR boss says sooner Argentine leaves the Premier League, the better

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock has not pulled any punches in his assessment of the Carlos Tevez saga. The Loftus Road boss has also called for Fifa to allow clubs to slap long bans on players who show the kind of disobedience towards their managers Tevez is alleged to have displayed. Manchester City striker Tevez has been suspended for a fortnight after, according to Roberto Mancini, he refused to come off the bench in his club's UEFA Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. Warnock has no love for Tevez, who was at the centre of the third-party ownership saga four years ago that saw West Ham keep their Premier League status at the expense of his own Sheffield United. Warnock said: "The sooner he leaves the country, the better. I can't see it being sorted by him staying. "Within a few months, he'll be kissing another badge."

Disgrace

Warnock unsurprisingly scoffed when asked if he would be interested in taking Tevez on loan. Revealing he had encountered a similar instance of disobedience at one of his former clubs, he added: "The top authorities like Fifa have got to come up with something. "Because, quite honestly, two weeks' ban is a disgrace for an offence like that. "You should be banned until January because a manager has no option but to say that you won't play for the club again. "You can't do that because the PFA would cry foul on that and get all the solicitors involved. "So Fifa have to come up with an answer."
