Consortium of one Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think a few things are made clear. Keegan gets vindicated and Nacho was the straw that broke the camels back. Mort has enough integrity to fulfill his original commitment and then not extend that commitment because he saw what was going on. Mike Ashley, Dennis Wise, et al are rank amateurs.

PRL Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Does this not happen quite often though, a player is bought or sold without the manager being 100% in favour? I would think it does. I agree KK was right to be annoyed and object to it, but not whether it really amounts to constructive dismissal. Gross assumption there and quite a big difference between not being 100% in favour and explicitly stating that he wanted nothing to do with the player and the club still insisting on signing him anyway. Yes, he could have just ignored the situation and ignored the player and carried on regardless but would Keegan have been acting in the club's and the fans best interests by accepting any player foisted on him, letting the owner's lie to the press and not saying a word? I for one think what he did was in the best interest of the fans as well as himself. Now we can all see that Keegan loved the club, didn't want to leave and got royally fucked over by those in charge. I really don't see any logic in the 'it happens elsewhere so he should have just got on with it'. It's like saying someone who works in finance and quits and goes to the authorities because his company has people insider trading should have just put their head down and got on with their job as it happens in plenty of places. Absolute bollocks, if you have principles you should stick to them and if they're honourable principles you should be applauded for doing so. Thanks for the memories Mr Keegan, you didn't deserve any of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gekkotime Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Interesting part from the pdf for those who say that the nacho transfer alone shouldn't have been enough for him to leave: True it is that he was plainly unhappy with some aspects at the Club, in particular the small size of the squad and the lack of signings which he believed were required to bolster its size, both of which were making him frustrated, and true it is that he plainly had a difficult relationship with Mr Wise and Mr Jimenez but we are satisfied that what triggered his resignation was the Club’s signing of Gonzalez notwithstanding Mr Keegan’s strong opposition to it. Both at the time and to us he described the Gonzalez signing as the final straw and the evidence shows that the Club appreciated that proceeding with it against this wishes might well lead to his resignation.

Thanks for the memories Mr Keegan, you didn't deserve any of this. Nah, don't get me wrong, that's a good point. All I'm saying that these are legal arguments and court representations - not necessarily reflecting the many shades of grey in whether or not it was really the 'last straw'. Totally agree the club are in the wrong here... it's a lot easier to accept that now we have some actual information about what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you'll find that this is what you call mitigating one's loss to ensure that an admission is taken account when finalising any financial penalities.
