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

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.

bloody hell Cotteril will be wetting his pants again out side court number 1

no, it comes down to the terms of his contract. He may well have breached them, even if he did nothing criminal

Almost like I said that in the first bloody line of my post.

This actually paints us in a positive light.

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!)

It was his fault he couldnt play as he kept breaking his bail conditions partying with loads more girls

Nothing surprising in this.

City will have known that this would happen if he was acquitted.

Mendy would have been told by City solicitors and his own agent/agents before/just after he was charged that this would have to happen if acquitted.

No need to get stressed by it or get triggered by sky sports.

Have I missed something, is he trying to get wages for the time we wasn’t available to play?

 

[Kippax77]

He should be claiming off Sly and the rest of the red media.
They couldn't wait to pile on after he was arrested.

If he’s got a case then I’ve no issues. If he hasn’t then there’s nothing to really be arsed about.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

If he’s got a case then I’ve no issues. If he hasn’t then there’s nothing to really be arsed about.

That pretty much sums it up.

Found not guilty. Deserves compensation from some party. If not from the accusers, then from the employer as he has been suspended immediately following the rape charges. Nothing wrong about that.
