PFA chief Gordon Taylor has offered to "mediate" between Manchester City and Carlos Tevez.

Tevez has been suspended for two weeks by City after a row with manager Roberto Mancini.

"It's not good for Man City, the manager or the player,'' Taylor said in the Daily Telegraph.

"It is not giving the right image across the world. Any conflict is capable of resolving if it's for the best for all parties.

"In the same way you don't want a player humiliated neither do you want the manager undermined.

"It's about trying to achieve that balance with a full apology, a very serious fine and then 100 per cent application by the player, see how it goes for three months and then review the situation in January [when the transfer window reopens].

"Clubs do have that potential to impose a very heavy fine and a warning. That preserves the discipline of the manager. There is a potential for six weeks [fine]. Sometimes a transgression, if substantiated, brings a two-week fine which looks nominal but up to six weeks is not meagre at all."
