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

He is innocent in the eyes of the law so I presume he now has a valid claim for loss of earnings. Hs footballing performance is inconsequential.
 
I don't like praising Ferguson, but one thing he always wanted was for his players to be settled and married as soon as possible. I think he thought it to be a way of preventing players acting the dickhead. Obviously it's not 100% perfect, but there's some positives to that approach.

However, a negative we've seen at City is that wives seem to want to live somewhere warmer/nicer than Manchester..!
If he didn’t have that policy, Giggs might never have happened

Can just as easy have the opposite effect. Marriage and dating are probably the only part of a player’s personal life that isn’t any of the manager’s business.
 


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.

I’d assume we have insurance for such instances.

It’s a tricky one this all round. He’s acted like a **** but not illegally according to two juries of his peers. City were unable to play him but financially, I would be going after back pay if I were Mendy also.
 
The police do use the term though
Read what I said. The police charge someone if they think there is sufficient evidence.

An individual does not decide to "press charges", which is something that 99% just don't understand.

You can decide to provide evidence or a statement but that' it. It's in the hands of the police then.
 
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.
I agreed with this line of reasoning until someone pointed out he only became unavailable once he breached his bail conditions by throwing a party and thus was put on remand, which is claimed breached his contract.

That’s on him whether or not he was found not guilty.
 
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.
Well I’ve read his own words. Even his own KC described his actions and views towards women as abhorrent. I wouldn’t let him within a country mile of a female friend or family member.

Someone may have pointed that out but it wasn't how it happened. They didn't put him on remand for breaching pre-charge bail conditions as that would not be legal, they charged him then put him on remand. The breach of bail conditions may have played a part in future bail hearings.

The police noticed the party when then came to arrest him to charge him, but it was not reason they came to arrest him.

He was very stupid to be honest and after he'd been charged he should have kept his head down and not thrown more parties.

Then I’d assume a) we’d have insurance for such instances and b) whatever I think about him as a man, he’s likely due full back pay.
