Dimitry Seluk, Toure's representative, had claimed his client was shown a lack of respect when City failed to wish him a happy birthday last week.

His allegations were followed by tweets from Toure's official account where the 31-year-old said: "Everything Dimitry said is true. He speaks for me. I will give an interview after [the] World Cup to explain."

And Seluk told Sky Sports News: "If Manchester City does not respect [the] player, how can he be motivated playing for this team?... Of course, Yaya will also speak with staff and I hope after that will take a decision. Until now, nobody from the staff call and say 'sorry Yaya'. If they don't want Yaya, no problem, they can leave at any moment."



What grown @#$ man cares about crap like this?

One who knows he is an asset to the team and can possibly be paid big bucks else where.

If i'm Yaya, i'm distancing myself as far as possible from those comments. Blame the agent, make any excuses you can, just do anything to erase that headline. That is not a good look for him and it screams pettiness

True..

Manchester City representatives urge Yaya Toure it's nothing to take personally. "Most of us stopped using Facebook, and we unfollowed him since he wouldn't follow us back or like our pictures, how else were we supposed to know?"

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Poor Yaya looks pretty upset about the whole affair...






Yaya's agent tells Sky sports that his player could leave City.






He doesn't seem to be distancing himself from the comments either...

Russian oligarch faces $4.5 billion Swiss divorce
Russian 'fertilizer king' ordered to pay $4.5 billion to ex-wife in Swiss divorce settlement

(Left)

GENEVA (AP) -- A Swiss court has ordered a Russian billionaire to pay more than $4.5 billion to his ex-wife in what could become the biggest divorce settlement in history.

In papers delivered Monday to both parties, the Geneva Tribunal of First Instance said Dmitry Rybolovlev, an owner of the French soccer club AS Monaco, must pay 4,020,555,987.80 Swiss francs ($4,509,375,184.80) to ex-wife Elena Rybolovleva of Geneva. Both are aged 47.

The judgment also granted his ex-wife property worth 130.5 million francs ($146 million) in property in Gstaad, Switzerland, where the couple owned two swanky chalets. It awarded his ex-wife two other pieces of real estate in the ultra-wealthy area of Geneva known as Cologny, where the couple once lived together, but listed no value for either address. And it confirmed her custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Anna. The couple also has an adult daughter, Ekaterina.

Her lawyer Marc Bonnant called it "the most expensive divorce in history," an unheard-of amount for Switzerland and for Russian oligarchs.

But Rybolovlev's lawyer said that the judgment's cash order was likely to be whittled down in coming appeals.

"There will definitely be a new appellate review and therefore this judgment is not final given the existence of two levels of appeal in Switzerland," said Tetiana Bersheda.

A separate statement by Bonnant and two other lawyers in the case, Corinne Corminboeuf Harari and Caroline Schumacher, called the record judgment "a complete victory" for her and said that under Swiss law she was entitled to half the fortune he made during their marriage. Most of that fortune was transferred to Cyprus-based trusts in 2005.

The three lawyers said Monday's ruling demonstrated that "no one — not even a Russian tycoon who put his fabulous fortune into legal structures such as trusts and offshore companies — is above the law."

But Rybolovlev's lawyer suggested the opposite, praising the judgment for "confirming both the validity of the trusts created by Mr. Rybolovlev and the validity of the asset transfer to them that occurred long before his wife initiated divorce proceedings."

His ex-wife had demanded $6 billion from the man known as the "fertilizer king," whose fortune from potash mining once made him the world's 79th richest person. He is now ranked 147th on the Forbes list of billionaires, with an estimated fortune of $8.8 billion.

The couple met as university students in Perm, Russia, and married there in 1987. Divorce proceedings began in 2008, when Forbes estimated his worth at $12.8 billion.

A Geneva court had provisionally frozen Rybolovlev's assets in Switzerland and abroad, but it may prove difficult for Rybolovleva to obtain the money because Switzerland has no legal aid treaty with Cyprus.

In the United States, Rybolovlev and his daughter Ekaterina used trusts to acquire some of the priciest real estate in the country, including a penthouse apartment at Central Park West in New York and a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
