You are probably right Hazy. We must remember that nowadays, players are not simply footballers who fulfill a role on the pitch, they are financial assets that can become financial losses.
Should Mendy be found guilty, City will have lost a player and maybe more seriously for CFG, the value of any future transfer fee.
The best example of the rags pulling out all the stops to make an issue go away was the Rio Ferdinand drug affair.
Their tame media came out in full support. Even, ex City player Paulk Hince, the then City writer for the MUEN wrote a number of unforgiveable pieces, even linking City's Christian Negoui as an example for leniency. A case which had totally different circumstances.
The rags denied the circumstances regarding phone calls and fought long and hard with the authorities about releasing phone records. Records that when eventually they were forced to released showed that both the club and Ferdinand had lied consistently..
We shall have to see whether they fight as hard for Greenwood.
We should however never forget that we have currently only heard one side of the story and only media reportage of that. Greenwood, as does Mendy, remains innocent until ALL the evidence has been heard and only after an investigation has taken place.
I think it was Shalum Logan that was prematurely found guilty by both the social media and the public media. Later found to be innocent.
