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

[I'm Blue]

Glad he’s got a result and can now hopefully move on with his life.
I don’t know all the details of the case, but a few bits and pieces I heard sounded like at least one or two of the women were lying.
He’s been cleared now on 2 separate cases so wish him well.

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.

Maybe not financially ruined but his mental health might be ?

Didn’t realise that. Does seem quite a large oversight if so, doesn’t it?

It certainly does mate.

Wow that’s disgusting

If the CPS ruin somebody’s life by taking them to trial and they turn out to be innocent they should compensate them.

Can you imagine how many cases wouldn't go to trial. That policy would be a disaster I'm afraid

If the verdict went the other way there would be no one saying the opposite.

I don’t know why people cannot just accept the result and leave it at that, with no add ons of “but doesn’t mean the accusers were lieing”

He’s a free man, nothing has been proved and he should be allowed to get on with his life and career as best as he can in this shit world as unfortunately mud sticks as seen by several posts in this thread.

Well it was said in response to multiple posts, some of which have since been removed, calling his accusers out for being liars, as well as 'gold-diggers' and 'slags'.

Sky Sports news not happy with the outcome

Sky Sports Gary Cockerill interrupting the solicitor's statement on behalf of Mendy three times to get his questions in.

What a snivelling wretch of a man.

Horrific ordeal for him. Imagine facing that. Glad his innocence has been proven. Hope he goes in to lead a happy life.

I thought his loss of earnings was a result of him being locked up and that was because he violated his probation.

That would kill the legal system or increase our taxes somewhat.
