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

This will attract the attention of our PL rivals. Imagine if they had to pay wages for every player who is charged for something. We might get their support on this one
 
Right thing for the club to take this into the court and not settle on the steps. Needed a ruling on the FA ban as both parties had a case here. He was available for selection but we could not play him.

Can we look to recoup from the FA? I hope we don't even consider it. Bad look and I'm sure someone's already said we would have ringfenced the salary for this case.

Result? He was always going to get something back here once found not guilty. 2.5 million saved one way to look at it. Bearing in mind there's a difference between being innocent and found not guilty I'd like to see a donation to a suitable Manchester based charity with some of that myself, reinforce the morality element of the clubs stance here as well as legal and financial.

So what?

He was owed money by City. City should have paid it as soon as he was acquitted.

Why?

The judgment ruled we didn’t have to pay him all the money. If he is legally claiming victory here then the same should be applied to city. Who when deciding to purchase said player didn’t disclose his off field attitude towards women.

He can piss off playing the victim here. That’s the trouble these days no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions. He needs to do that and so do his accusers. City once again caught in the crossfire. If anything we are owed a transfer fee from the club he signed with after his release and remuneration from the FA.

Anyway he is a waste of space.

Well regardless it has turned out he was due them wages, or the majority at least. So he was right and City was wrong. Many in this thread are acting like rival fans after CAS.

He might be due the wages according to the Tribunal but you haven’t addressed the issue that it was the FA that banned him so - who should have paid him?? I’m interested in YOUR opinion - not the Tribunal’s
 
though he probaby is owed from us he was shite anyway amd stole a living from the club when fit/not suspended.

Only.danny mills comes ahead of him as a wage thief
