Manchester City legend Francis Lee says the behaviour of suspended striker Carlos Tevez is "unforgivable."
Tevez allegedly refused to play against Bayern Munich last Tuesday, with the club suspending the Argentine for two weeks pending an investigation.
"It was unforgivable," Lee told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek. "I don't know what was going on in his mind.
"When you refuse to go on the pitch , there's no way back, it's as cut and dried as that."
City manager Roberto Mancini said at the time that he felt Tevez could never play for the club again after claiming the 27-year-old had ignored his orders by failing to come on as a substitute in the Champions League group match.
Lee, however, insists that the club needs to take a decisive stance with the player, stating: "If there is an example to be made of people, I think we'll take it.
"The club could be doing a lot of football clubs a favour by putting a player in his place. You can't mess this club around because it's so vastly wealthy.
"They need to show whoever they sign in the future, whatever their contracts are, that they're not going to be pushed around by temperamental stars."
