According to Jonas Gutierrez's defense statement, he is demanding €3 million for neglect and mistreatment from the Newcastle United board. According to the player soon after they found out about the player's illness back in 2013, they completely disconnected themselves with him and weren't returning his calls. The violated the previous agreement to automatically renew his contract and they considered him as a liability for the club, but they acted wrongfully towards him. Jonas only wants justice to be made and judging on the team's latest season, karma is a bitch.
The player explains the whole deal in his statement to the judge: "This was the first time I - or any of my representatives - had been notified of this and came as a great shock, so soon after my cancer treatment. I was very shocked by the club's sudden change of heart about me, particularly as I had played in 194 games for the club at this point and was one of the key first team players."
"I think they feared my illness would mean that I could no longer play at the highest level and they considered me to be a liability rather than an asset to the club. I got the impression that they thought I couldn't be the same player again after such an illness or that I would be bound to have lingering effects, other episodes of illness off the back of it. This caused me a lot of distress, given my hard work and commitment for the club in the preceding five-and-a-half years."
"It is notable that during my chemotherapy treatment, neither the manager, Alan Pardew, or any club directors contacted me to see how I was feeling or to congratulate me on my recovery. Shortly after my return to the club from chemotherapy, I was called into Mr Pardew's office. Mr Pardew apologized for the way he had treated me in December 2013, when he told me I was not wanted by the club any longer but he said that this was not his decision. I understood by this that the decision was actually that of the club's owner, Mike Ashley."
