Christmas Tree 4005 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 KEVIN KEEGAN will this week battle it out with Mike Ashley over his £10million compensation claim from Newcastle. The former England boss is demanding the huge pay-out after he quit as Toon manager last September. Cash-strapped Newcastle, owned by Ashley, fear financial meltdown if the panel judge comes down in Keegan's favour at this week's hearing. Toon insiders claim the evidence will be 'explosive' as both parties reveal the acrimonious splits within the club after Keegan's return for a second spell as manager. Disastrous The club's former executive director Dennis Wise is being lined up to take the stand on behalf of Ashley. Keegan clashed with Wise over the club's disastrous transfer policy and ended up walking out. Now he wants the remaining three years of his £3m a year deal paid up. Keegan is also claiming legal fees and expenses. Former vice-president of player recruitment Tony Jiminez and director Derek Llambias are also expected to give evidence. This could get really juicy. Wonder which court its at? / protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing about Keegan though is that half the fuckers who slag him off probably only started supporting Newcastle because of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4043 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah, we didn't sign any players last season. My mistake. Two decent ones signed by Keegan, 4 bottleless shits signed by Wise/Vetere/Jiminez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 48 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Wonder if people will still claim Keegan a hero when we have to sell our remaining half-decent players to pay this bottler off. Can you explain : * If he walked on the club how come he is seeking compensation? * Whatever way he left the club this time around, how that is bottling it? Sorry like, every time I hear someone call KK a bottler, I just think "sheep". Get your own opinion man, based on actual facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry like, every time I hear someone call KK a bottler, I just think "sheep". Get your own opinion man, based on actual facts. People rarely let the facts get in the way of a good whinge about Keegan! And calling him a bottler for leaving a job where he was being fucked about and rightly walked as any decent manager with any pride would have (the likes of Fergie and Wenger made it clear they would ahve and Curbishley did at West Ham) like you say is a sheep mentality. As for the case itself, Keegan is right, he's entitled to the pay off and he should win it legally and morally, but i hope he loses as this club can ill afford to pay out millions to anyone, even a legend like Keegan who made this club what it is...well, what is was until the last few years anyway!

ewerk 27147 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 While I agree with Keegan in principle I wish it wasn't going to cost the club up to £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4043 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 While I agree with Keegan in principle I wish it wasn't going to cost the club up to £10m. Yeah that's my reaction too - pity he can't get the money off Ashley personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Keegan had every justification for walking and given what Ashley has done since then no one could blame him. However he should have jsut left it at that, I think going for £10m compensation on top is taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I think going for £10m compensation on top is taking the piss. Hardly surprising though. Couldn't be a bigger man a year ago, why now? Taking millions off the club you "love". Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6509 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Isn't Keegan countersuing? iirc Ashley was doing him for walking out so Keegan is doing him for what is effectively constructive dismissal?
