ERIC CANTONA IS suing the New York Cosmos for nearly $1 million (€900,000) in unpaid wages after he was let go by the NASL club last year.
The former Manchester United forward said the Cosmos never delivered on promises to pay him and provide four-percent equity interest in the club in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.
“Following his arrest in March 2014, the NY Cosmos terminated Mr. Cantona’s contract,” the club told Goal in a statement. “We have not yet reviewed the complaint so we have no further comment at this time.”
Cantona, a former France international, was hired as the Cosmos’ director of soccer in 2011. He was fired after he was arrested for punching a photographer at a London pub.
“He was taken into custody and subsequently cautioned for common assault,” a police statement read at the time. “The victim, a man, did not require medical assistance at the scene.”
Cantona won four Premier League titles in five years with Manchester United.
I hope he’s right, a win like Sunday’s can be a massive boost to any team. It’s going to be a great few weeks of a run in
@samstheman:
Many a title was won by winning ugly, particularly at this end of the season. The Manchester Derby is the big one in the race. Can’t see Chelsea causing Liverpool any dramas at Anfield and City will roll Spurs at home too.
@Nollaig Elliot: think Cardiff away could be a big game for pool. They’ll play for a point so up to pool to break down a 10 man defence.
@Nollaig Elliot: I’m not expecting it to be one bit pretty to be honest
@Cormac Flanagan:
Maybe so, but don’t Cardiff need to be going for games? If so, that will suit Liverpool. Draws will be no good for them now.
@samstheman:
Haha, I bet you’re not.
@Cormac Flanagan: Cardiff will be well gone by then.
Man City are playing twice a week every game for the rest of the season. There bound to drop pts at least once, probably twice
Top maths
@Mark Collins: it’s not really , does he not realise that they need City to drop points also
@David Weston: pretty sure he does , anyone with half a brain can read between the lines
@Peter Govan: yes of course he does ..
I think they willbut City will also.
If Liverpool and City both win every game left in the PL (not entirely unrealistic), Liverpool would come second with 97 points, which for me, as a Liverpool fan, would be absolutely sickening, but yet so typical
