We should have retained his services following his ban.
And what kind of message would that have sent to the fans, if it turned out be true?
These rumours get up my nose.

It is good to know the real story, after months of speculation. Whether the club were right to sack him or not - whether based on his state of mind after the test fail or on performance, financial or 'moral' considerations - we will find out in the next few months. If he rips up the league for Boro it will look like a bad decision in hindsight. If he fails to get back to his best of 3 years ago it may look like a sensible move.
Whatever, the decision was made and it is in the past.
having read the article I can't see what he has done that is supposed to be wrong

Failed a drug test perhaps
"Nathaniel Mendez-Laing says he wants to "leave the past behind" after serving a suspension for cocaine use."
"The Football Association (FA) has revealed the 28-year-old served a three-month ban after a positive drugs test administered on 4 July, 2020."
"The FA said the now Middlesbrough wing admitted taking cocaine "in a context unrelated to sporting performance.""
Probably the cocaine use
How about doing coke at 10pm the night before a game? Do you think he was at his best when he woke up the next day?
After having been reprimanded once by his employer for a serious breach of his contract, he chose to do it a second time.
Dismissal the correct option, many people in everyday life would be subject to the same outcome.
I wonder if he mixes his coke with whisky.
Surely no one does that? Disgusting habit!
Not unless he had a line for breakfast
A Heineken, a lineken, and I'll feel fine again.Not unless he had a line for breakfast
Disagree.
Also do not know if was his first time.
Didnt Chelsea sue a former player after losing a transfer fee after a player was banned for drug use.
Adrian Mutu, I think
Yeah thats him.
Rubbish. Apart from anything else, it was ‘in competition’. What sort of example was he setting to all our young fans ? The correct thing was to get rid.
**** him and his sob story. People in a lot worse position than him who got drug and addiction problems.
Boo ****ing hoo.
no, I'm serious.
If its good enough for queen Victoria then it's good enough for me
I don’t know where NML figured in the list of highest paid City players but it wouldn’t surprise me if getting him off the payroll to save money was the main motivation in terminating his contract. NML, of course, providing the club with cast iron means to do it. In these difficult times and no parachute payment next season there may well be more.
Not his first offence. Would also explain his absence in early part of last season. Clearly NML has had a problem. All the info is in the details of the judgement.

A professional athlete getting banned twice in less than a year for using recreational drugs is pretty special.
