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

I'm glad he's been cleared. I can't imagine the stress and impact this last couple of years has had on him :(

 

[RayCTID]

New contract?

Same as Cancelo not likely to return to the squad.

 

[BlueMooner87]

Saudi might be a good option for him

He was fantastic until the injury...

Going forward but the first injury against Palace was down to getting himself in a pickle defensively and trying to block the winger with his leg, it was too early to judge.

Good luck to the lad going forward, he will need it. I hope city at least paid his severance pay for this month.

 

[Roachy]

A lot.

I'm still thinking he isn't anywhere near broke.

I'll ask you again mate, were those comments warranted or correct? If you saw the original thread then you know what I mean.

very sad all round this situation, glad he's been cleared. Wasnt his biggest fan, but the poor lad must have endured a torrid last couple of years, all on the back of lies. Far too easy to make these allegations these days

 

[pride in battle]

Can we please calm down on the "his life is ruined" talk as well?

If he's completely innocent, then the accusations mean nothing right and someone should be willing to sign him right?

As far as his career, he was apparently on £90,000 a week. I dont think he's had to shop through the reduced section at Lidl to survive.

So forget the last 3 years he had to go through?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Catterill at Sky doing a post verdict hatchet job on Ben Mendy.

The bad toothed fucker deserves a beating for his intrusive and invasive behaviour on the steps of the court.

Mendy made him look a proper shallow, insensitive, small time **** !!

 

[Blue Mist]

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

Sadly the CPS are politically motivated these days. They do not act impartially, instead they prosecute by trend.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

The £ky £ports New£ reporter (Gary Cotteril I think) should be sacked.
Harrasing a bloke just found not guilty of accusations that ruined his life despite a statement from him asking for privacy....

I think he should be sacked just for being a shit reporter alone, but his behaviour with Mendy deserves additional punishment.
