How match fit do you think he would have been once released from remand for breaching his bail conditions?

How do you know what was in his contract? Does being in remand for 134 days(?) not count?What is in his contract is that if he was found guilty and sentenced to 3 months or more in custody then he can be sacked.
That obviously didn't happen, and there would have been a lot of time when he wasn't on remand or on trial when City could have, in theory, played him. The same with Adam Johnson, they played him right up to the trial and the CEx had to resign over it, and it would have been a reputational disaster if City played him.

Ehm? Wouldn't criminal charges be a breach of his contract, though? He was not available for us. Surely it's somewhere in every professional athlete's contract? How are we the ones liable for his losses? He can sue the ones responsible for the situation.
One of the comments claims that the rags showed how it's done by continuing to pay Greenwood regardless...
The comments in general just shows why Twitter is such a waste of time.

There is also the issue of repeated lockdown parties which was were a breach of club rules. I would imagine City will just have to pay up to the end of his contract which would have been budgeted for.How do you know what was in his contract? Does being in remand for 134 days(?) not count?

I'm no lawyer but I can't see it myself, maybe a part payment but I'm not sure if even that is due him.There is also the issue of repeated lockdown parties which was were a breach of club rules.

No as he wasn't found guilty.How do you know what was in his contract? Does being in remand for 134 days(?) not count?
It is a standard term of PFA contract which they are all based on.
Shame it had to beThanks for clarifying!
