Benjamin Mendy | Joins Pogon Szczecin (p92)

[Kippax Street 1880]

No as he wasn't found guilty.

It is a standard term of PFA contract which they are all based on.

He was only on remand because he breached his bail conditions throwing a party. Its his fault 1000%

Evening News running this too…

Benjamin Mendy 'chasing millions of pounds in back pay' from Manchester City

The High Court in London heard the footballer owes nearly £800,000 in debt

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Whether we owe money or not will be clear in Mendy’s contract. Any grey areas and there could be a messy court battle or we settle out of court to rid him from us quickly and quietly.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

I read he is entitled to all his wages and the club do not contest it.

 

[GX Blue]

Dont give this piss taking pervert a fucking penny

Haha

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Shirley breaching his bail conditions makes he case null & void.

Although he'd have not played during the trial build-up he managed to make himself unavailable.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Players should be forced to have Professional Indemnity insurance to cover the length of their contract when it comes to lost wages.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Dont give this piss taking pervert a fucking penny

Is that from the court transcript?

 

[philiph20]

He can GTF, stole a living as a footballer, his attitude to women is repulsive as well, as a purchase file alongside Creaney, Badbuy and Mangala.

 

[Blue Mist]

Perhaps we should look at why all this was said.
The Inland Revenue took him to court over unpaid tax. They want him declared bankrupt. His legal representative has to say something, anything, to stop this happening. It was stated he is selling his house and claiming unpaid wages from City. It does not have to be true, it was just said to buy Mendy some time and yet everyone is getting wound up about it.

I think that’s damn right n’all. I know it’s all about the contract, but the lad missed out on millions over something that wasn’t his fault.

How do you know his attitude to women is repulsive? What if he’s got hypersexuality? Where does being compulsively sexually active fit in with attitudes to women? It’s a condition that affects both men and women.

It doesn't affect my wife i can promise you.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

If he's entitled to it he should get it. The guy lost his career

When you’re a top level sportsman or celebrity it comes with a level of responsibility, especially when you’re representing a club. One of these women he slept with was only 17. We may never know if he used his fame to attract women to return to his home, but my guess is he chose places where women knew rich footballers went to.

His behaviour was unacceptable.

 

[blueinsa]

Chase away.

Whilst I have sympathy with him following his acquittal and damage to his career and reputation, I’m certain we will have been advised by lawyers that terminating his contract was well within our rights.

Hardly his Brad Pitt looks now was it

I agree though

City never terminated his contract, just suspended him, as it wasn't within their rights. Due to the length of time it took there was no investigation concluded by MCFC, as his contract ended.

City and the player both lost out, even though I think if he has player in 2021/22 and 2022/23 we may not have won the titles, he was suspended due to unproven accusations so even if he had a year left the club couldn't sack him.

I know we had "legal experts" using clauses from endorsement contracts to say they could terminate his contract of employment, but they were barking up the wrong tree.

 

[Kippax77]

So the rags will have a similar thread for Mason Greenwood then?

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

Mendy cost City a reported 52m.

Presumably they have had to write that off.

However he was found not guilty in a court of law.

A messy business for all concerned.

I'm sure he could play football in the middle east and make a lot of money, he is still young.
