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

If 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!)

I imagine he would actually like to claim against the women in question for the lost wages but as that's obviously not realistic, trying to get them from us is the next best thing.
 
Why ? What would you do in his shoes ??
There was always going to be some who would say something like this.

At the end of the day if he has a case, he’s been told he has. It’s between him and the club. If he’s due money from us then fair enough. The courts will decide, or lawyers outside of court. Either way it is no slight on the club whatever the outcome.
 
Would imagine he has a case. Depends what the ins and outs of his contract are but he did lose a lot of wages and he's not realistically going to get compensation from the women in question.

He wouldn't have been with us much longer anyway but if not for the court case he'd almost certainly be at a better club on higher wages than he is now, so I don't think it's bizarrely unreasonable for him to at least want to be paid for that time period.

Comes down to whether you think he's guilty and got lucky or if it was a mistake to charge him.
no, it comes down to the terms of his contract. He may well have breached them, even if he did nothing criminal
 
He'll be entitled to withheld money after being cleared and we won't be liable in full for whatever over the top figure his lawyers have asked for. They'll settle on what's reasonable quickly and move along.

Always going to happen and isnt an attack on city, it's just standard procedure after whats happened. I'm assuming we've got water tight contracts to protect against things like this. It's not really even a newsworthy story but without having clicked on any link I'm going to presume sky are already building it up into something it isn't.
