Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 9, 2020 Nathaniel Mendez Liang had his contract at Cardiff ripped up today due to serious breach of contract... Wonder what he's done? Twitter full of rumours and fans saying "sign him up" as usual! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 9, 2020 Crikey, that must be serious as he's actually a good player as well, probably worth a couple of million. Clubs usually resist sacking players that they can convert into cash! Don't think it would be appropriate to speculate though really Jiggy, as all the really serious accusations I can think of would be a bit unfair to randomly throw at somebody without just cause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 9, 2020 think it's just the natural thing to do, like you say, players worth millions don't just get sacked for nothing. Derby kept faith with Tom Lawrence and that other chap after that drink drive car crash fiasco so this must be bad! Some of the rumours are just ridiculous and a bit unfair though.

KiwiScot 1,437 Posted September 9, 2020 Had a quick look on Cardiff City forums and they suspect " it's a potentially serious police matter that will result in serious charges being laid and a confident 'guilty' outcome" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 9, 2020 OK I'll play along. Just found a rumour that he was involved in a drug driving incident which has left two people serious injured, Lee Hughes style. Another that he was involved in the large scale supply of drugs. Apparently had all his car windows put through at some point in the past, so could be gang related? Common theme seems to be serious criminal charges of some sort. That would usually be the case for a sacking wouldn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 9, 2020 Just now, TheGunnShow said: Might be nitpicking, but wasn't Lee Hughes done for drink-driving? Could be wrong though... Yes, and I believe he fled the scene of the accident after killing somebody. But drug driving and drink driving is the same offence I believe, with the same sentencing guidelines.

Icecream Snow 761 Posted September 9, 2020 The bluntest statement I've ever seen https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/club-statement-nathaniel-mendez-laing Cardiff City Football Club has, with immediate effect, terminated the contract of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing. The Club will not be making any further comment on the matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,783 Posted September 9, 2020 I guess the fact he has been sacked instead of sold means that he's done something which makes him pretty much untouchable for any other club. No doubt it will all come out sooner rather than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 10, 2020 The tabloids will find out soon enough, even if the club, PFA, FA and EFL all manage to keep quiet. I've seen a tweet from somebody which seems to suggest he is in prison remanded in custody, the tweeter claimed to know his new cell mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonzo 198 Posted September 10, 2020 I've just read some of the Bristol City forums and generally the Bristolians seem to have ruled out that his dismissal was due to any sort of unnatural act with a sheep- as one wag on the site pointed out if it were sheep shagging instead of contract termination it would be more likely that he'd be granted the Freedom of the City of Cardiff.

I can understand a kid with no opportunites being seduced by the cash , cars and clubs, but he would already have had all that. Maybe he was thinking of his future ?!🥳🤯🥵🤧🤕 It'll all come out in the wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
