Ehm? Wouldn't criminal charges be a breach of his contract, though? He was not available for us. Surely it's somewhere in every professional athlete's contract? How are we the ones liable for his losses? He can sue the ones responsible for the situation.

Surely it's the women who brought the charges? Not a legal expert by a long stretch...

The police decide whether to charge someone and the CPS decide whether to prosecute.
All a member of the public can do is make a statement.
Nobody “presses charges” or “brings charges”. It’s not a thing.

I'm sure it was said in an article last year if he was found NG there he would recoup all of his salary he's had frozen at city

What is in his contract is that if he was found guilty and sentenced to 3 months or more in custody then he can be sacked.
That obviously didn't happen, and there would have been a lot of time when he wasn't on remand or on trial when City could have, in theory, played him. The same with Adam Johnson, they played him right up to the trial and the CEx had to resign over it, and it would have been a reputational disaster if City played him.

Thanks for clarifying!
I’m not a lawyer or anything it’s just one of those really annoying American phrases that have somehow infected our language.

Didn't City make provision in their accounts for this eventuality? I seem to recall it being mentioned in another thread. In any event City will no doubt negotiate a settlement/payoff, taking into account missing playing time.

The fucker was robbing a living even before he didn’t rape someone.
We should be the ones suing the **** for claiming he was a footballer on his CV.
