Sky sports last night they didn’t say anything when asked and today they’ve been asked about the Keogh situation and won’t comment and they’ve been asked about the takeover today according to nicko which again they’ve refused to comment on. No refunds for season tickets. starting to see the start of a divide between club and fans as Morris looks like he’s not bothered now in the slightest and looks at only getting worse. If the Club has appealed the reported Keogh judgement then is it any wonder he won't comment - he'd be a fool to do so just to satisfy the thirst for information from a section of the fan base. We haven't a clue as to how Morris feels and how bothered he is - your post is just your view looking from the outside, without any unsubstantiated facts to back it up. It doesn't take a genius to see that there are serious financial issues at the Club - players not being paid in December, the uncertainty about a takeover, the absence of a large chunk of gate receipts, lost revenue from other sources and now the reported Keogh claim. If I was in his position I wouldn't make any comment until and unless there was something to say which would be a definitive answer to some of these issues. As a fan I'm as interested in what's happening as the next person but don't subscribe to the view that being a fan entitles me to be told what's happening behind the scenes.

The Fail article only says: "But Sportsmail has learned that the former Republic of Ireland centre back has had his appeal upheld by an employment tribunal. So Derby have been ordered to make a financial settlement to Keogh, who had 21 months left on a contract worth £1.3m a year when he was dismissed." The amount might be £2!

CBRammette 1,042 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 32 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: The maximum that an employment tribunal can award is £88,519 unless there is an element of discrimination to the dismissal eg racial, sexual, gender etc. There are also greater pay-outs possible for dismissals resulting from whistle blowing, asserting statutory rights or health and safety breaches. Keogh has not been awarded £2m by an employment tribunal. The only way I can see something amounting to that figure is if he is using the ruling as evidence in a claim for breach of contract. Yes doesnt the wrongful dismissal ruling now allow him to launch a civil case for excess loss over the capped payment? But in terms of cash flow shouldnt be yet.

The definition is, a person or organization that puts money into financial schemes, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit. Surely nobody in their right mind would think putting money into the vast majority of football clubs is likely to turn a profit. FTFY 1967RAMS 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Normal Leeds nobber bile on the whole, The occasional comment from a 15 year old Forest fan hoping we go bankrupt, not quite realising without us there league programmes as exciting as a Tuesday night out in Reading till the end of time. Some random bull from blokes who have no real knowledge of the situation from Ireland and the occasional Barnsley half wit . Very little from Gibson town which is surprising.

Just want confirmation the players are fully paid and will be going forward. If not pretty soon it will all implode. This exactly, just want the players paid and maybe to be able to make 1/2 signings probably loans but we still need the new faces.
