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

[Stephen230]

But if proven innocent and he’s been deprived of 10m in wages he’s got to have a recourse surely?

I’m not talking about Mendy specifically but nobody is proven innocent. If the prosecution fails to convince a jury then you are quite rightly not guilty and walk. But it doesn’t mean anybody has done anything wrong in bringing the prosecution.

..and to believe there were idiots on this site using plane tracker to guess when he’d be signing

 

[RayCTID]

He was part of the side that knocked City out of the Champions League the previous season along with Bernardo Silva (although I was more excited with that one)

 

[johnnytapia]

Good. Fuck off.

Vitriolic response. Based on what?

 

[Mon Autre]

If he is acquitted then why does he need to turn his life around if he’s not guilty?

It's possible to not have broken the law but still be a shitty person who would benefit from revising their choices in life.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Probably the worst signing in the history of the club.

I'll raise you vuoso

 

[Lavinda Past]

Good luck to the lad. I hope he gets his life back on track.

 

[johnnytapia]

Thanks. Find it hard to accept though.

Morality is: don't get accused if you're innocent.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Maybe move on with his life then, turn his life around suggests he was guilty .

Not necessarily, it's more a matter of choosing better friends, growing up and becoming a man rather than an unruly youth.

Probably the worst signing in the history of the club.

I can think of a few others who joined courtesy of the Swales/Allison farce.
