We cant move on until Ashley fucks off The good news is that with the club only having to fork out £2m, the sale should in theory go through more smoothly.

Ketsbaia Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 This is embarassing, but I've read all 9 pages and i'm not really sure whats going on......he asked for loads more than £2m, so this is good news, right? Help me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Finally what I find interesting is that supposedly Keegan walked away from 4M settlement from Ashley. I wonder if Keegan was given the opportunity to either a) accept 4M and keep it all private or b) take the 2M and have the decision be public. ""I very much regret that this claim ever had to go to the hearing as it did. I want to state categorically that the allegation that has been made in the press that I turned down an offer of £4 million to settle the claim is simply untrue. No such offer was made to me.

chicago_shearer Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 This is embarassing, but I've read all 9 pages and i'm not really sure whats going on......he asked for loads more than £2m, so this is good news, right? Help me That was my first reaction. 2 million doesn't sound that bad. Now we can get back to focusing on promotion and Keegan can get back to whatever makes him happy.

Dave Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 He claims that his case for constructive dismissal was brought to restore his reputation, but the staggering claim for £25million compensation has left even his most fervent admirers on Tyneside struggling to defend his actions. Obviously hasn't researched that bit very well. most of ppl on chroniclelive, are not happy with him Obviously I haven't researched this very well.

I have. Even this bit? In our view, the parties were entitled to assume that, if he wanted to, Mr Keegan would be likely to find further employment, if not immediately after the expiry of this period, then within a reasonable time thereafter, given his experience. In view of the near impossibility of estimating precisely what his loss would be, we consider such an approach to be reasonable and to represent a reasonable pre-estimate of his loss to the extent that it was possible to carry out this exercise at all. It follows that, in our judgment, Clause 14.8.1 does not amount to a penalty clause. We note, although we do not base our conclusion on this, that when cross-examined, Mr Keegan very fairly accepted that Clause 14.8.1 was fair and reasonable.

Guest helios_centric Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The report just cofirms what I already suspected about the lying, moronic scum who infest our club. Keegan truly vindicated, although his reputation has been tarnished by the whole episode in some people's eyes, I'm sure. Not as far as I'm concerned though - I never doubted who was to blame for his leaving the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Ashleys status amoungst your average football fans is much lower than Keegans. Its a bigger story for them to publish Keegan trying to screw over the fans that loved him, rather than Ashley being the bad guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
