no, it comes down to the terms of his contract. He may well have breached them, even if he did nothing criminal
Almost like I said that in the first bloody line of my post.

It was his fault he couldnt play as he kept breaking his bail conditions partying with loads more girlsIf he wasn't paid retrospectively following his acquittal then he probably has a fair claim, it wasn't his 'fault' he wasn't able to play despite the fact he was robbing a living before hand.
Whether you think he is guilty or not he was found not guilty by this countries justice system (which has many flaws but that's another discussion!)
Nothing surprising in this.
City will have known that this would happen if he was acquitted.
Mendy would have been told by City solicitors and his own agent/agents before/just after he was charged that this would have to happen if acquitted.
No need to get stressed by it or get triggered by sky sports.

That pretty much sums it up.If he’s got a case then I’ve no issues. If he hasn’t then there’s nothing to really be arsed about.

Found not guilty. Deserves compensation from some party. If not from the accusers, then from the employer as he has been suspended immediately following the rape charges. Nothing wrong about that.

Surely we would have put his money in an account awaiting the outcome of the court case?
Mountain out of molehill springs to mind.
That is not in defence of Mendy but of City. We are not that daft.

What a fucking goon.
This is the shittest signing in the history of the club.
I can name a few shitter ones but it would require its own thread.
He was arrested so he was suspended without pay. He was never sentenced so will reclaim the wages that we have had sat in the bank. This will go away with a payment nowhere near the full amount because of the gross mis-conduct etc on his side.
He was arrested, and therefore surely unable to fulfill his contractual obligations. Of being available to play for the club. Which I would imagine is different for arrest or conduct than for injury etc.
I'm sure when the club decided not to pay him, they would have known where they stood whichever way the verdict went.
By the same logic of him suing the club, the club could sue him for loss of transfer value, for example.
It is a bad move from him, but at the same time, he will be taking advice, and somebody somewhere will think he has a case.
I am fine with however this plays out, it is a matter of law and how people that deal with it apply it. I think the club probably did the only thing they could have done.

Yeah but we're talking about official court decisions and lawful compensations, not about my or your opinions of the guy.I’m not even arsed about his legal troubles. The **** deserves fuck all purely on the basis that he’s totally dog shit at football and acted like a complete bell end.
Balotelli without the talent.

And of course he wasn’t shit before his injuries. I think they fucked him up psychologically. Never anywhere near even half the player afterwards.Yea but we bought him so him being shit wasn’t his fault haha

It’ll depend on the small print of his contract.He was arrested, and therefore surely unable to fulfill his contractual obligations. Of being available to play for the club. Which I would imagine is different for arrest or conduct than for injury etc.

It is a band move from him, but at the same time, he will be taking advice, and somebody somewhere will think he has a case.

He surely won’t be paid for the period he was held on remand for breaching his bail conditions, but the rest might be payable, maybe minus the games he would have missed during to not being able to get a visa to travel.

Sorry but he wasn’t available to play, if he was innocent or guilty, why would City have to bear the cost? What a disastrous signing he was.

He - and probably his agent too - are probably rich guys and will have taken advice from lawyers - and that may have been free of charge anyway as the PFA might cover some or all of his legal bills - providing that there is advice that he has a reasonably strong claim. I doubt very much that it'll ever get to a court hearing.He was arrested, and therefore surely unable to fulfill his contractual obligations. Of being available to play for the club. Which I would imagine is different for arrest or conduct than for injury etc.
