The coverage of Mendy's case will be shaped on how much City knew about the allegations when they continued to play him and use him for events in the community. It could be very difficult for the club but we don't know the full story yet.
Rubbish. Allegations are not the same as being charged.
Surely he'd be described as a former Monaco player.
It’s often conveniently forgotten that he refused to speak to the BBC because they told the truth about his son.Warts and All - " ...must not airbrush his darker side"
From The Times, 1 Sept. 2021 - " Nobody wished to risk destabilising the gravy train — not the United board, and certainly not the Premier League hierarchy."
The writer of this piece attempts to bring some balance to the media coverage of the cult of celebrity currently engulfing the out of towners and, whilst the forced, illegal postponement of the first ever Premier League match was covered up under a big red carpet now emblazoned with CR7 and available for sale in China, there is a little more perspective for once from this particular journalist.
"For years Ferguson defied his contractual obligation to provide post-match interviews to the BBC, banned journalists whose copy he didn’t like from the Old Trafford media room and impugned the integrity of referees and fixture compilers whose decisions he didn’t like."
Whilst this is well known, the writer notes, " At the moment, these stories are not newsworthy". They have largely been lost in a " rose-tinted parody of a football manager."
In our lifetimes though, warts and all will be revealed.

Celebrations of Sir Alex Ferguson’s genius over Cristiano Ronaldo signing must not airbrush his darker side
The retrospectives on Sir Alex Ferguson are coming thick and fast. Last week I watched a documentary directed by Jason, his son, called Never Give In, chartingwww.thetimes.co.uk
If a Bank Manager was accused of rape he would be suspended on full pay pending the outcome of the investigation. I am well aware of the difference between allegations and charges and am also well aware of employment law. The primary responsibility of an employer is to protect the welfare of its staff (including Mendy) and that overrides everything. If a teacher was accused of murder or rape would he remain in the classroom while the police carried out the investigation?
But the primary responsibility of a school is to protect its pupils. You’re comparing apples with oranges bud
Maybe he is in the French media, I can't be arsed checking
When his ex killed herself he was Bayern Munich, can’t say I look at the sun too often though

Just about to post @jrb,fucking outrageous, if it was something positive our name would not be associated, someone needs to have a wordThe Daily United Fanzine have updated their earlier Boateng article on their online main news front page.
Manchester City highlighted on 'blue' in the small print. No mention of Bayern Munich in the updated article.
Can’t really have a word when they’ve stated a fact can they?
Ferguson, Gill and Woodward are all still board members at United as far as I can recall, so it’s not really that noteworthy.
