Media Thread 2020/21

The club has said that they will conduct an internal investigation.
If it transpires that it is gross misconduct they could sack him.
It would send out a positive message if any club sacked a player for gross misconduct over something like this.
Sadly, there will always be another club that would be willing to employ them as players are assets with a monetary value as well as employees.

In the current environment it’s hard to see an employment tribunal finding Mendy’s actions (as alleged) as anything other than gross misconduct. Certainly all significant judicial determinations since March would support that view. I guess Mendy could point to the club’s apparent inaction in relation to Walker, but I’m sure sufficient distinction could be drawn, especially by a tribunal applying as much intellectual dishonesty as it feels it needs to get to the desired outcome. I can say with some certainty that Mendy won’t be given any benefit of the doubt, should it come to that.

From what we know you're right.
I've worked in HR in the past and employment law is a nightmare at times and I can imagine it's far more complicated when you're dealing with multimillion pound contracts and in all probability highly qualified legal professionals.
Although I think that the club is far too soft when it comes to the media shithouses that are happy to take it's hospitality whilst sticking the knife in, I would trust them to do the right thing once everything is out in the open on this one.

I would be absolutely amazed if he's the only player to have met up with another couple of people.

I've counted three times a Leicester player has cynically brought down an attacking player to stop a counter - Sky's commentary "a good tactical foul" Whereas if it's us we are the spawn of satan.

On the bench today,which he surely wouldnt be if his behaviour was being treated as such?

Mendy deserves to be sacked but I doubt the club will be willing to write off the £50 mill investment made 3 years ago without getting a penny back.
Not sure however if he could be fined and transfer listed.
The guy is a liability on and off the pitch.

The agenda deniers were and still are in the minority mate. Never understood why the thread was removed

You've not taken it in context;)

Seems fairly minor - 2 weeks' wages fine.

He has a long contract so we need to cut our losses on his salary. He is not worth much in the transfer market. He's a crock on the field and a liability off it. Not many will take a punt on that.

What is it with ginger people being knobheads?

Paul Scholes makes out that's he's a no nonsense guy on the TV, telling it straight, yet he can't even bring his own kids up properly.
