If he did not breach his contract of employment he will be entitled to his remaining unpaid salary. I have no idea whether he did or did not breach his contract. The court will decide.

The argument will clearly be that it is an implied term that if you are suspended by the FA and so cannot turn up for work (amongst other reasons) then you cannot be paid.

The idea amongst some of you on here that there needs to be a specific clause in the contract for the scenario in question is fanciful nonsense.

Im sure City try and tell their staff how to behave. We havent signed many dickheads to be fair, they seem to do their homework. What they do once they are employed is their issue I suppose, but credit where its due we havent had many or any cunts on the books since the takeover, Mendy aside. In fact Id go so far as to say we have a lovely squad of nice lads every season. Grealish was a potential prick, but he hasnt been at all and has flourished into a family man even. Our Phil could have been a knobhead judging by his mam, but has been a great person. Being around the most professional club in world football works and we work at them obviously. We give them every opportunity to be great people. If they choose to fuck that up it has to ultimately be a personal responsibility dont you think?

You may ultimately be right.
 
The club should pay him his wages not the bonus part.

The club highlights that as part of his bail conditions he was not allowed to enter the Greater Manchester area so he could not train or attend work.
He could have still trained and been part of of the club outside of the Greater Manchester area the club could have sent a fitness coach to a local park if they wished.
He was found not guilty if other women would have accused the other players that were they would could have lost half our first team.

He had a curfew of 6pm, he had his passport removed. So he couldn't play any home game, take part in team training, play in any away game which would prevent him from getting home before 6pm (which is basically every game barring a midday kick off v Liverpool or Everton). So yes he could have been an amazing member of the club outside of Greater Manchester.

His actions caused the bail conditions. Its his issue. If he wants to sue anyone it should be the government.

The club should pay him what he is entitled too they stuck by him initially even getting criticism for doing so once the news broke. His contract was to play for City when required to so and that included training at the club’s facilities with the rest of his team mates His actions in flagrantly ignoring his bail conditions, including more shag parties were his own decision and didn’t in anyway endear himself to the club. So, quite rightly, on the face of it they stopped paying him and unless he had behaving like a **** condition in his contract then he will loose his case
 
The club probably will end up paying some of his wages but can argue his incarceration broke the contract to a certain extent. Can we then sue him for some sort of damages?

The club lost out on a transfer fee for a start. Also reputational damage.

Clearly mistakes were made when signing him. Won’t be the last time.

Nonsense. It’s a team game. Can’t train alone. Can’t play. Bizarre
 
Pretty safe ground for the club to point out his terrible behaviour and how that breached duty of mutual trust and confidence between employee and employer. Trickier if they treated other party attendees differently. He’s just having a punt here tho. Cheap risk v reward ratio and costs rarely awarded at ETs. I think he’ll lose

Mendy been excellent before injury does not sound accurate to me as well. Remember i thought hes good defensively, but could do better offensively and generally on the ball. Its Gvardiol whose been more like excellent for me

One or two games apart he was shockingly poor.

And we can see from his off field activities, his priorities were not football, he was the ultimate non professional.

Compare that with Walker, again a horrible, unloyal person off the pitch but on it his commitment and desire are elite levels.
