Certainly has. Unfortunately for City his being useless is not an argument they can use. Surprised they haven't come to an agreement based on wages minus a discount for him not being able to work.Be interesting to see the outcome. I think he has a case.

Couldn't be bothered going back through the thread but didn't we originally suspend him on full pay until he breached bail conditions and got locked up? That's down to him if true, regardless of the final outcome of the charges.Be interesting to see the outcome. I think he has a case.
He definitely got locked up for breaching bail. Then had to live at his home address and give up his passport.Couldn't be bothered going back through the thread but didn't we originally suspend him on full pay until he breached bail conditions and got locked up?

Surprised City aren't counter-suing for loss of earnings on the transfer fee and signing-on fee. Maybe we are.

I don’t know. And I do mean literally that I don’t know. But I do know that employment law does heavily favour the employer, in this country at least.
Whatever the outcome of the trial, if an employee is incapable of fulfilling their contractually duties, for whatever reason, I’m guessing law would normally look favourably on the employer if they decided not to pay them.
It would be a bit embarrassing and surprising, if these best lawyers in the world we keep hearing about have advised the club badly on something as pretty basic as this.

yep agreed. It all depends what was in his contract but City should be paying him his basic wages plus bonuses.I do as well. The guy was found innocent at the end of the day.

The burden of proof is (rightly) extremely high for a criminal conviction.
The barrier for suspending someone at work/ending a contract would be a lot lower.
