Manchester City want to hit Carlos Tevez hard in the hip pocket.

The Sun says City will push for a full six-week suspension and £1.5million fine for Tevez - even if he proves he did not directly refuse to play against Bayern Munich.

City believe Tevez's refusal to continue to warm up in preparation to come on is enough to warrant the punishment.

The club have taken legal advice and are trying to present a watertight case to the PFA to show Tevez deserves more than the two-week suspension and £500,000 fine he has been given.
