Benjamin Mendy - City lose case and Mendy awarded £11m in back pay (p168)

[Deleted member 77198]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
