City are not going to play him again regardless, he's done at the highest level.
That would be football fans for you, though, which is why he would probably want to leave himself. If he is not guilty, the club should back him and treat him like any other player. Of course, I don't seem him playing regardless because I doubt he would want to.
If he is not guilty, though, it would have to be Mendy's decision whether he leaves or not, which he probably will. Man City will just have to, and should, treat him like any other player and wait for his decision. They actually have no choice in the matter, in this case.
They won't be able to sack him but likely let his contract run down on gardening leave if he doesn't accept mutual termination I'd say. Either way he's done at top level football.
Mason is done too regardless of how things end up.
I don't think its even a case of what's right or wrong, clubs just won't want the drama.
Im glad that our one is out of contract this summer so we don’t have to worry about what to do.
I assume his contract is close to running out now given he's not been available for close to two years now so will probably just mutual consent the rest and let him go back to France.
The process takes too long.
Big if but I don't see us dropping Greenwood if he's found not guilty. The club will view him too big a talent to let go and potentially become a WC elsewhere
Well maybe no forensic evidence. But if there's a patern of behaviour from multiple seperate witnesses, you'd expect it would be too much evidence overall.
There’s two big things, the evidence that is public is very damning, and the time away from the game at a key age (add in that he was stagnating somewhat before he was arrested) and I don’t think they’ll be that fussed about trying to keep him.
Well, they’d be fecking daft to want to keep him too.
If he's found not guilty the public evidence clearly won't have been as damning as people may think
His stagnation could be a thing though I still feel they wouldn't cut ties until that is proven to be the case
Unless it is proven it wasn’t him in the multiple clips, which I highly doubt, then it is as damning as you’re going to get.
Speaking of players as such, was there ever an outcome for Gylfi Sigurdsson? That seemed to happens ages ago now.
Bail until 16th July
Yeah, 6 different women reporting that they were raped by him is very wishy washy.
Im talking about Greenwood not Mendy
Ah, apologies!
I don't think they'd be finished if they're found not guilty, or no charges are brought in the case of Greenwood. They'd most likely have to go and play in another country but I'd expect they'd have numerous offers.
Personally I think all of these lads will have to find employment outside of the UK. The court of public opinion is too strong here and will hound them out of clubs if they even try to sign them.
I think the point still stands with regard to the stigma, and regardless of the verdict from what we know of the evidence he's an absolute scumbag imo.
There’s some players who have done heinous crimes yet still found clubs who’d take them on. Aside from Adam Johnson, not sure who else failed to find a club.
Yes and club sponsors
How come this threads allowed.... yet We are not allowed to discuss Greenwood?
Seems very unlogical

Ragcafe.
Very ilnecessary to point that out.
Apologies, my phone is as thick as shite these days
No need to apologise. I thought maybe you didn’t know.
Presume because Mendy's actually been charged, Greenwood hasn't been yet.
Indeed.
Who?
Charged with another.
Yikes.
Why have City not cancelled his contract yet? I don't get it 
Guessing because he hasn’t been convicted yet.Why have City not cancelled his contract yet? I don't get it

You really don't get it?
This was written for Mendy.
