So essentially he walked because we signed Nacho on loan; the signing was a favour to two south american agents who would deal favourably with us in the future in light of this transfer deal, however it was done without Keegan's consent as he didn't want the player.

 

...and the rest.

That was the culmination of it as said by:

 

 

6. Although we heard a considerable amount of evidence as to events which took place

in the months which followed Mr Keegan’s appointment, in view of our conclusions,

we can proceed at once to the events which culminated in Mr Keegan’s resignation on

4 September 2008.

So he resigned over a loan signing and claimed £25 million compensation.

 

He's been found correct in law, because he objected to the signing and therefore is entitled to be treated as if he was sacked and given the specified payment that was agreed in his contract. That's all that's happened here.

 

Do I still think he was just waiting for the opportunity to resign and get out with as much money as possible? Yep.

Its interesting, on reading that pdf, as to how many of the facts of the case were leaked to the press.

 

The fact that its restricted to £2 million means Ashley will see this is a victory tbh. I doubt he will care too much about the club being exposed as liars. So its a moral win for Keegan but a financial win for the club imo.

And then he dropped most of the money because his priority was rather that his reputation was restored. Does that disprove your ridiculous claim that he was intent on just pocketing the most money? Yep.

first thing i do find notable reading through it (not finished) is keegan was seeking 25m 8.6m plus 16.5 in "stigma damages"

 

i doubt they were ever expecting that sum. also keegan gave up the stigma damages in order to get the truth out and accepted having his good name restored by the judgement.

 

Incorrect. If you read the judgement, he gave up his further claim after the tribunal ruled against his claim that the £2 million compensation clause written into his contract wasn't valid. He had no choice.

Anybody who continues this anti keegan stance has absolutely no credibilty left whatsoever.

 

My qualm with Keegan is that he gave up on us (again) and dumped the club in the s*** from a sporting perspective and left us in the hands of people we thought were c***s (and apparently he knew were c***s). I have never defended Ashley, and was expecting this type of verdict. However how does this change what my problem with Keegan is? It doesn't.

 

What? So he should have put up with the c***s BECAUSE they were c***s?

Priceless.

First, he told us, and we accept, that he wanted to stay at the Club.  Secondly, there were very good reasons for him to want to do so.  He had a valuable Contract worth £3m for the first year, £3.2m for year two and £3.4m for year three, plus benefits and he was managing a Club about which he clearly felt passionately and whose fans supported him no less passionately.  Thirdly, the Club had had an encouraging start to the new season: in the Premiership, they had drawn away to Manchester United and then won at home to Bolton and in the Carling Cup they had since won away at Coventry.  True it is that they had just lost away at Arsenal but that cannot have come as any great surprise.  And the atmosphere in the dressing room was described as excellent.  Finally, as we set out in more detail below, he was being told by the Club that they wanted him to stay.

 

Must have put on a pretty compelling "show" if, as you suggest he is conning everyone!

I'm still in utter disbelief at some of the shit on this thread.

 

A player is signed who noone has seen except on YOU FUCKING TUBE as a favour to a South American agent, a player who KK explicitly said he didn't want and the club just ignored him, yet KK is to blame?

 

The Club admitted to the Tribunal that it repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United.

Not quite true.  They were never going to consider that part of the claim, but wanted to make it clear that if they had, they would have ruled for publication (as they had anyway) which would restore Keegan's good name, and therefore not require any further compensation.

 

Which Keegan could only agree with.  They didn't say "you can take publication or £10m, what's it to be?"

 

while the lawyers shouted "gamble...gamble"

You my friend are a fucking idiot, fuck off and support Sunderland as you're clearly inbred.

Read through the whole PDF and have to say that the tribunal was very fair. Clearly Ashley and co are despicable lying bastards but £2m compensation is more than enough for someone who was out of work in any case before being given the job. I'm just sorry that Keegan wasn't able to finish the jpb he started because we would have been a lot better off if he was here now than we are at present.
