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

[nmc]

For some of the time he is claiming for he was on remand because HE had breached his bail conditions… when he was on remand he was wholly unable to fulfil his contractual obligations - so his claim will be limited.

Any legal employment guys got a take on this?

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.

Of course it isn't but he deserves to be paid, as you yourself would.

 

[pride in battle]

For asking to be paid? Think the smartest player in the world would do the same in his shoes.

Exactly, she's talking shite...

 

[Whether or not]

Based on the uncontested evidence of relentless late night partying, including when rehabilitating from injury, he was a walking breach of contract I would have thought. It is more negative publicity for the club at a time when we are getting hammered anyway, but they should fight it all the way.

The **** barely kicked a ball and that was before he started throwing his cock into every tart in Wilmslow.

Fuck him, he’d be stealing a living on minimum wage the muppet.

Bit jealous mate ??

Don't blame Mendy at all for pursuing this. Good luck to the lad. I hope he gets every penny that was due to him per his contract.

100%. Keyword being contract. That's binding and shouldn't be violated. I think the powers that be at the club threw him under the bus before the justice system did, unfortunately things turned out differently. Naive on the part of the club.

Yeah I have. He's a nobhead, if he'd put as much effort into his playing like he did with his social media nonsense he might have gained a few more likes.

 

[MancityHighlanders]

Exactly this

Nobhead….that’s a given……..not available for work seems enough grounds to fuck him off?
