The Tottenham manager said the Argentine had “damaged” City and their chances of winning the Premier League, where they trail leaders Manchester United on goal difference.“It was unbelievable. I felt sorry for Roberto Mancini to be put in that situation. It wasn’t right for Man City, it wasn’t right for football. I can’t believe it, it shouldn’t happen, it can’t happen,” he said.
“I just wonder what City legends like Malcolm Allison and Mike Summerbee would have thought of seeing a player refuse to play in a Champions League game. It is beyond belief.
“If you’re Manchester United and Chelsea and you’re thinking about winning the league, I think you would feel more confident about it today. It has damaged the football club.”
However, Redknapp cautioned that there were no good options facing Mancini and the Manchester City board as they wait for the transfer window to open on Jan 1
