Joe Corrigan says that Carlos Tevez is a mercenary and believes that a lot of the blame will lay at his doorstep should Manchester City not win the Premier League title.

Manchester City legend Joe Corrigan has said that a part of him will be sad if Carlos Tevez has a hand in the Citizens winning the Premier League title.

The 63-year-old said that he has not forgiven the Argentine striker, who he has branded as a "mercenary", for deserting the club in the middle of the season.

"I will be happy for the club, and nothing would please me more, if they beat Manchester United and go on to lift the title," the former Citizens goalkeeper told The Mirror. "But part of me will be sad if Carlos plays a part.

"I'm not like the fans who have forgiven and forgotten so easily. He let down his manager, his team­mates, the fans and the club. I love this club and he held them to ransom. Maybe I am old school, but he epitomises the modern-day mercenary player and I can't just forget the way he behaved.

"Everyone is talking about Tevez's return, but you cannot underestimate the negative impact he would have made on the dressing room morale. If City don't win the title, I feel a lot of it should rest on his shoulders."

Corrigan, who came through the ranks at City, played for the club between 1967 and 1983.
