JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta 8,870 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It's almost fitting that Keogh be the man to bankrupt the club. Always got a bankruptcy in him. Mostyn6, Ambitious, GenBr and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's really not that bad considering he was arguably our best player for the past decade, plus it incremented over time. We've done a lot worse, in fact I'd say that's probably the best money we've spent. Bryson, Martin and others after earning their 'big' contract went backwards rather than forwards.

The ones that couldn't see it were ironically the ones with their eyes open actually watching the game. The guy was a liability, at least with this move it guarantees us 3 points against Huddersfield. Link to post Share on other sites
Millenniumram 12,816 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Somewhat not overly surprised by that news. Especially if he used the treatment of Lawrence and Bennett and the inconsistency there against us. He appeared to have done the least wrong, but got the most punishment. Some might suggest that’s because he was the one who couldn’t play anymore. Doesn’t seem a fair discipline treatment. Should have sacked all 3, as I said at the time.

Red Ram 247 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If it's true he's won the case, personally I'm absolutely delighted for him. Always seemed pretty obvious he'd win in the end to me given that Lawrence and Bennett committed much more serious misdemeanours and yet were treated far more leniently by the club. Made it difficult to come to any other conclusion other than that Keogh was sacked because unlike the other two, he was unlucky enough to get injured His sacking was quite possibly just another FFP manoeuvre in the first place because now it's a 'just' a legal bill rather than being on the wage bill. Personally the unfairness of way Keogh was treated led to me feeling less of a connection with the club. It just seemed like a totally ruthless way to treat a very good, dedicated player who'd been with us for years and always gave absolutely everything every time he wore the shirt. This outcome goes a long way towards redressing that historical sense of injustice. Deej, Grimbeard, jimtastic56 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
oodledoodle 223 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 People still banging on about him being a liability (with his perhaps one or two mistakes every few months) are somehow forgetting that we're Derby effing County, not Real Madrid. What do you honestly expect? Me personally, I want someone who wears his heart on their sleeve, always puts a shift in, and cares about the club as much as I do. Keogh was all that and more. For him not to be considered an absolute legend by all Derby fans shows how unrealistic some of you are. Red Ram, Grimbeard, Turnstile and 3 others 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RamNut 18,028 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Wow. there’s no doubt he was treated unfairly compared to the others who were welcomed back with open arms. Never made any sense. so who will be sold to pay for yet another error at the top. We might just have our answer as to what has stalled the deal. Red Ram and Deej 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We offered him reduced terms for the remainder of his contract in order to facilitate a replacement . More than generous . No injustice at all unless you consider the final nail towards administration is paying a fortune to a bloke who couldn't play because he didn't order a taxi.

He didn't play for over a year. Any player on that salary will be insured against injury that ends there career or limits earnings. Any club will insure the player due to injury re transfer cost at market value for replacement. No insurer is going to pay out in this instance where there's been a clear dereliction of terms. Why would the club lose out on a players. value, pay him a full wage and pay out for a replacement. The fact they offered him any wage plus full use of state of the art medical facilities was an amazing offer. The bloke caused his own downfall. The only reason Lawrence and Bennett were retained by the club was they didn't get a custodial sentence. Sure if someone had offered a few million for Lawrence he'd have been moved on at the earliest opportunity like Bennett.
