I think he went on a free after Ten Bob left Genius that he is you'd of thought he'd of been all over bringing to him to the rags to further his footballing philosophy.

He lost his place to the 37 year old Dutch equivalent of Stefan Ortega.

That was following his doping ban too.

Good character fit for them.

Now their former legend Pogba is facing an anti doping ban,all they need to do now is buy him back



Legend lol

My point is that he hasn’t been charged with doing anything wrong. Therefore his suspension is at best premature.

They dealt with the Greenwood situation perfectly until the charges against him were dropped. Then they tried to protect their financial asset, poorly.

I’m not insisting anything. I’m suggesting that suspending a player who hasn’t been charged with anything is a potential legal minefield as well as a slippery slope.

It has been explained many times on here. Suspension whilst investigation is a basic part of the Industrial Disciplinary Procedure. It protects both the parties.

So why didn’t City do that with Mendy?

If they gave awards for outstanding degrees of incompetence, the rags would be clear winners .

Wouldn't win much else though :)

I can't remember exactly the flow and timescale of events. Maybe they didnt follow procedure. But were are not discussing Mendy we are discussing Antony. Whataboutary is not a good standpoint for an arguement.

We could call them 'Cups for cockups'.

Given we know nothing of what the rags and Antony know, the whole debate is based on guesswork.

Its hardly Whataboutery when both are dealing with a potential criminal charge/conviction.

Anyway, it’s been done to death. We disagree. It’s not going to end the world.
