Bizarrely never, the funniest thing about the bloke who kept saying we are the academy of football is he listed Carrick, lampard, defoe, Cole and Ferdinand, but they sold all those players too so this is hardly new is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Interesting story brewing in Cardiff, they’ve terminated Nathaniel Mendez-Laing’s contract with immediate effect and he’s deleted all his social media apparently. He featured for them regularly last season. Putting 2+2 together id guess it’s one of two things; either a personal or family tragedy or he’s been charged with something serious.

You wouldn’t terminate someone’s contract because of personal/family tragedy. It’s no doubt some kind of gross misconduct. I’m sure it’ll come out sooner rather than later.
