Hindsight's a wonderful thing.
I presume if we can cancel the contract after the verdict then the final year, worth around £8million, (we gave him a 6 year contract) will be the bit written off.
Mendy's value has already been addressed. See the following from @Prestwich_Blue in the thread in January this year about the accounts for 2020/21 in which he quoted something contained in them.
This line caught my eye:
An impairment charge of £18.7m has been recognised based on an assessment of first team players that are not expected to be a member of the first team playing squad.
I wonder who that could be referring to?
That's almost certainly accounted for in pretty much its entirety by writing off Mendy's value with two years of his six-year deal left. (Six years! What were we thinking?!).
