The have said it is for a breach of contract. Perhaps there is good reason they havent gone into detail yet.
Im sure they will have legal people advising them on such a serious matter and pandering to the whims of supporters on messageboards is of least of importance at the moment.
Its not very often a footballer, one thats a saleable asset, gets sacked. It must be something serious.

Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated
I'd definitely say this is for NML admitting to or being found doing something seriously wrong given that clubs quite often stand by players charged with serious criminal offences until they have been found guilty. If it was drugs, then you'd think that there'd be an announcement from the football authorities soon, but, again, it's unusual for.a player to be sacked so early in the process.
This is a serious setback for City as far as the new season is concerned both financially and football wise - the Mendez-Laing which gave Trent Alexander-Arnold such an uncomfortable afternoon eighteen months or so ago was a £20 million player, at least. He could also look a candidate for a free transfer at times, but he gave us something that I don't think anyone else in our squad can when at his best.

I wonder if football clubs have insurance against this kind of thing?

Makes sense, they've basically suspended him while he's been facing the charges etc and they've found out he's going to go down and have sacked him. At a guess! I don't know if that's true of course!

Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated
I'm hearing a rumour he went into Caerphilly during the lockdown.

Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated
Criminal charges or a failed drugs test I assume.
He only had a year left so 9 or 10 month drugs ban by the FA there'd be zero reason to keep him around.
Think it's normally fairly easy to find out about someone facing criminal charges so would imagine it will make its way into the media soon enough if it is that.

Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated
Fair play. The club wouldn’t have acted so diligently in the past.
No leaks. No nonsense.
Something’s clearly happened and they’ve acted swiftly.
I do wonder what’s happened but it’s good that we don’t know.

Ex Cardiff youth player Josh Yorwerth had a 4 year ban for failed drugs test, this could be career over as well for him if it is drug related.

Neil Harris has been talking about him being out for personal reasons for a couple of weeks or so, therefore they've known something was up and this has not been a "swift" decision.

Agreed, which probably explains Ojo and I expect they've found out the full extent of what's happened today/found out what's going to happen. It must be a drugs test or a police matter if they've sacked him you'd think.

A member of the first team has his contract terminated with a year remaining. I am sure fans will be pushing for clarity as to why.
Od course we are welcome to ask and I'm sure by the time I read past this comment there will be plenty of speculation and iTK iNfO but past that we have no right to know what's gone on do we?

Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated
Have City retained his registration even though his contract has been terminated? If so, maybe any side he signs for will have to pay City a fee.

Perhaps because someone has said theyve read about it on the other board.
