Carlos Tevez has rapped Manchester City's owners for sacking Mark Hughes earlier this season.

Tevez asks for patience from the owners and admits he did not agree with the brutal sacking of Hughes.

"It is their club, their money," he told the Daily Mail of the decision makers behind City's rapid growth. "But you ask me if I thought it was the right decision and the answer is 'no'.

"I will play for any manager; I play for the shirt and must respect the right of the people who make decisions to change things, but a team does not form overnight. Mark should have been given more time. The decision was taken with too much haste. Did the directors think it through? You cannot invest so much and then sack the manager after five months! Look, Mark brought us all here. He is a great manager and he will get another big club, 100 per cent."
