Gavin Ward made a couple of saves last night (yeah it’s his job) nobody should underestimate the loss of K.S who was also captain; gone a long way to unraveling their defence.

A lot of foxes are saying for as many points K.S could earn them, Ward will cost more if they don’t get anyone in January!

most Leicester fans want Iversen to take over in goal and I think that happens at some point, maybe post world cup, Rodgers has backed himself into a corner with this though as he spent a few years talking about having 2 number 1 keepers is Kasper and Danny Ward so now he has to and his ego won't let him change yet.

As for Vardy he's far from done, I get the feeling he'll be like a cork out of a bottle when he finally breaks his seasonal duck and go on a run of scoring, the time when Daka takes over is close though and having Vardy to come on for 20-30 mins in a game is a great place to be

I was surprised just how bad they were, made for a fine game though

Det suggests a solution to the stadium, might be a ground share with Stoke or Leicester.

I like that idea.

It would leave mm with a stadium he can't get much money for or rent.

Who would would rent pride Park if it wasn't used by a football stadium, and knocking down pride Park to building housing would cost to much.

 

won't happen with us, our Women's team also play at the KP (and the bad PR of kicking them out for you lot would be big) and we all have to work around a fixture class with the Tigers, simply not a workable solution

Rooney found out via Sky? Seriously? That's not only piss poor management it makes the owner a coward, IMO

sorry to see the mess you have fallen into, hopefully you get things sorted

Well this thread took a turn didn’t it, I’m not even sure that guy is an actual Leicester fan

if you hire Nigel you have to let him do his thing and not interfere, he will want to make sure the scouting is how he likes it as well as the sports science side too.

He's not a quick fix manager he is a reboot the set up and start again type so the owners need to have a long term plan and not a itchy trigger finger

Not sure about that to be honest I would be surprised if any club would pay someone £25k a week when he could be out for 18 months all due to his own actions.

technically its the actions of Lawrence and Bennett, he was a passenger not a driver

But, he’s not. 

which is kind of the point, this isn't a moralistic decision, if it was all 3 would currently be unemployed

No, but breaking the law and breaching the terms of your contract is. The latter is clearly conjectural without sight of the contract, but I has seen it written into many non-footballing contracts. 

he hasn't been convicted of any criminal charge nor is he facing one so that wouldn't apply

If Lawrence or Bennett had major injuries from the accident they would be out the door to.

if Keogh was 10 years younger and a quality striker there is no way you sack him even with the injuries, 

Just now, CornwallRam said:

Legally speaking he broke the law by not wearing a seat belt. 

He was almost certainly in breach of contract by acting recklessly in getting into the car of an intoxicated driver.

I suspect that the club could easily find grounds to sack Lawrence and Bennett, but they at least have value as players. Keogh is unlikely to ever be good enough to play at Championship level again, so getting rid of him makes financial sense, even if it is a bit morally questionable. 

yes but making financial sense isn't legal grounds for sacking, you told him to take a pay cut or he's fired, either what he did deserved the sack or it didn't.

It would have been much simpler to have released him, paying off his contract, then he has no come back

Not quite sure how I feel about the decision yet, especially as things may have gone on that we don’t know about.

However, if this quote is genuine from the club, it makes a mockery of the fact that we’ve welcomed Lawrence and Bennett back into the fold, despite them being the only ones who put “themselves, their colleagues and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse”.

this will be the big sticking point in any court case, legally speaking Keogh did nothing wrong and has been sacked, yet the 2 players criminally convicted continue to work for the club, presumably without a paycut, unless I missed that announcement.

How long was left on Keogh's deal anyway?

he was the passenger in the car, the only way Derby can terminate his contract is to pay him off if you've tried to sack him without paying him off he'll win any legal action he takes
