He’s gonna be eating good for christmas.
Such a weird position. It seems incredibly likely at least some of the allegations have some truth to them, but as he was declared not guilty in court, what choice is there but to pay his contract out? Every part of it feels dirty.
Good luck to him - he deserves every pound for the way this has unfolded, regardless of how you feel about Man City.
it’s his own fault this happened. he doesn’t deserve shit
Will this further affect their FFP charges ?
Rich coming from an Everton fan /s
Only if they declared they had paid his wages when they didn’t or more importantly They only paid the Abu Dhabi account and forgot to pay his UK one, this gets dealt with asap as neither party can afford to have any more dirt publicly displayed?
It’s so difficult trying to have a conversation about cases like these because when you argue what is lawful, people think you’re supporting the person. Mendy can go to hell, but he wasn’t found guilty so he should be paid whatever he was supposed to be paid by City.
Go to hell why exactly? The women who were all friends had no real evidence against him and were proven to be lying on several occasions
They weren’t all friends, two of them knew each other beforehand. Being accused of rape by several women independently is not a good look, something has clearly gone on.
There is very often no real evidence in a rape trial, it’s a crime that by its nature is incredibly hard to prove.
The only thing that’s ‘gone on’ is pound signs in their eyes. Yeah a famous footballer who can have any girl he wants must be lying, or broke girls looking for millions. I wonder who?
‘Can have any girl he wants’ is such a disgusting, misogynistic defence, and is the rational that actually leads celebrities to commit sexual assault, thinking that they ‘really want it’.
people like you are the reason why women don’t wanna press charges or even tell someone about what they’ve been through.
The women who were all friends
No, they were not. Some were. He had a dozen different women accusing him out rape
That’s crazy that he gets away with all that shit and has the audacity to ask for more money 💀
Is there a clause is these contracts about not bringing the team into disrepute? 5 rape charges meet that. How could they put him on the pitch…
I got banned from r/soccer for pointing out the obvious here, so I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the comments flow in.
watch the downvotes flow in more like
U knew this was coming!!! This is the problem with guilty until proven innocent
Not guilty != innocent
Something ironically people like the parent commenter often fail to recognise too.
If a murderer gets away with murder, does that mean they’re not actually a murderer? Course not. Just because an alleged rapist got away with it doesn’t mean he’s not a rapist, it’s just likely they didn’t have enough evidence to prosecute, as is very often the case in incidents of rape.
Then blame the system …lol lawsuit pending
So in your opinion anyone that is accused for a crime that goes to trial is guilty? As every single not guilty isn’t actually innocent but just got away with it yeah?
Nope but that’s not* what I meant at all, but well done for twisting what I did say into something I hadn’t said. All I was saying is that there out people out there who do automatically equate “not guilty” as “innocent”, even though they have no idea about the burden of proof in criminal court which, even with evidence, in a rape case is very unlikely to “meet the threshold” otherwise known as beyond all reasonable doubt.
TLDR is, all I said is “not guilty” does not always equal “innocent”, and you’ve twisted my words.
The fact that you’ve brought it up suggests you believe mendy did it. My twisting of your words is to say: if having a video of your accuser enthusiastically having sex with you and a load of messages between them contradicting their own statements isn’t enough to prove you’re innocent, then what is? Because having proof of innocent and having people still find you guilty in their eyes suggests there is no point even fighting the case cos you just got off with it anyways.
Do you believe he did it? If so, what would convince you otherwise? If there is no level of evidence that you would be happy with, then surely my twisted statement is correct?
Send them to the shadow realm.
Finally City will be taken down 💪🏽
Everton will never recover from this.
Clever, nice one
