The men said he abused them when they played for teams he coached in north-west England between 1979 and 1985.
Mr Justice Johnson ruled that it had not been shown that City was "legally responsible for Bennell's acts of abuse".
The lawyer who represented the men said they were "shocked and dismayed".
The men, now in their 40s and 50s, claimed Bennell was a scout for City when they were abused and argued the relationship between the paedophile and the Premier League club was "one of employment or one akin to employment".
City denied the claims and told the court the 68-year-old was a local scout in the mid-1970s but not when the men were abused.
Bennell, who is in prison after being convicted of numerous sexual offences against children in recent years, denied being linked to City in the 1980s when he gave evidence during the High Court trial.


I really feel for the guys that have had their lives ruined by this monster. But blaming City because they previously employed him isn’t right, and correctly got thrown out.


I'd have done the nonce in when I grew up - though I've read that of course he only picked on quieter, weaker boys. I'm afraid that I'm a bit old school Mase - most of us had pretty traumatic childhoods in some way back in the day - Can't help thinking some people only came forward declaring a ruined life when they heard the 2 words Manchester and City


Hopefully he’ll be getting the kicking he deserves in prison now. Obviously won’t help the people who have had their lives ruined.

Look at this off the BBC feed - :

Jurgen Klopp says a Covid outbreak that led to the postponement of Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Arsenal had "a lot of false positives".

The Reds said a "severe outbreak" at the club meant they could not field a team against the Gunners.

However, Klopp says defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only player to actually test positive.

Only the other day I read their Dutch defender wotsisname was moaning how many cases they had had and how few we had had, except now it emerges they haven’t.

False positives, aka lies. Fucking scouse twats. Imagine their outrage if their opponents had done this. Fucking vermin the lot of them.

Has any other club had this problem of "a lot of false positives"?
Thought not. Any retrospective action planned but the PL? Thought not.

Perhaps it is linked to other substances they have put in their bodies.

BBC team of the season so far. What a joke ! I know it’s based on fan votes but shame on the BBC for even considering giving it coverage.

It's not that exactly, it's because our player ratings on the BBC are always marked down by the hoards of armchair dwelling red shite followers, both scouse and manc.

I also vote on this - just to try to balance the red shite I go through their games giving scores of 1 to all their players. Perhaps we need more doing it - or am I just wasting my time... :?:

Anything voted on by fans is pointless.
It is a numbers game, fans are biased, players from clubs with the biggest fan bases 'win'.
Keeps the clicks rolling in so media are happy out.

Just a complete waste of time if you want objectivity.

The victims knew it was a possibility they’d have to see the horrible cunt, so it’s on them for trying to make money from a rich club just because we once employed someone. The whole thing makes no sense and I’m not sure why it even went to court as he wasn’t employed by City during the period they were abused.

They saw a potential payout and saw the pound signs. Most probably egged on by the solicitors and other hangers on, also sniffing a payday. They got what they deserved, which was nothing

They were after a payday. Out of court £ would have been a win. Disgusting what happened, however they should be ashamed of themselves.
