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

[balotelli's back pocket]

Was he suspended from club on full pay or did club stop paying him...now he's been cleared I would imagine city will have to pay him what he's lost ??

Suspended without pay, and I doubt he'll be getting that back. The trial laid bare an astonishing lack of professionalism, more than enough to give us grounds for termination.

Hope he can move on with his life now.

I should imagine he was still on pay despite being suspended. If not, he’s going to get all that money back I should imagine (not from City).

Contract was paid up, we wouldn't haven not paid him for exactly this reason.

He stopped getting paid the moment he was charged with the crimes, it came out in the trial.

as @balotelli's back pocket said, some of the behaviour he admitted to in the trial should be more than enough for the club to show he breached the contract and has no claim to anything.

City stopped paying him about 18 months ago.

Career over through no fault of his own

Why is his career over? His club suspended him correctly pending investigation and then let his deal expire. Other clubs are free to pursue him as a free agent.

Who’d have thought eh -not many on here that’s for sure

The evidence against Mendy was pitiful. Whoever agreed to the retrial should be fired.

Still bad for City because they were unable to get a transfer fee for him due to the allegations.

Such a shame about his career since moving to us, I genuinely thought he would be brilliant, however his injuries and his constant partying didn't help him, as for his charges and time spent in prison and also the stigma of the accusations ,those who accused him should face an investigation as to the motivation of their collective accusations, I saw a video of him, his friend and one of the "victims " and in my opinion these "ladies " need looking into

 

[jamielowndes]

If the original thread on this sorry saga is reopened, then a few posters need to hold their hands up and do exactly that.

Nobody needs to apologise. The people who called innocent and the people who called guilty knew as much as each other. The story wasn't exactly the most favourable for him. People were well within their rights to think he could be found guilty.

Buzzing for the lad. Years of negativity and false imprisonment, loss of wages. Hope he sues his accusers for every penny they have
