Well i certainly hold it against him sacking Keogh, so did others otherwise he wouldn't have been ordered to pay up his contract in full. This is not Victorian times were you can just simply get rid of someone because they are no longer of use to you.

It is if because the reason that they are no longer of use to you is gross misconduct.

How would you like having to pay someone £1.5m to do something but they were unable to do because they went and out and did something stupid because they were pissed up?

And as far as I am aware, the body that ruled in Keoghs favour are not specilalists in employment law.

For P&S purposes, once delivered to the EFL? Are you sure ?

No, sorry, I meant at Companies House.

If we filed our accounts at Companies House and they have been signed off by an Independent Auditor, then I am not sure how The EFL could keep that on our charge sheet.

If they wanted to take issue with the accounts or the auditors then they should raise with an appropriate body.

I don't believe misconduct was proved, that's why players have the PFA behind them

He has got a good track record where dismissals are concerned, not. The person who caused the accident should have been dismissed for gross misconduct as well then but because he was still of use to the club he got a slap on the wrist. MM left himself wide open.

Correct - although going through full process should have occurred, before he was sacked but then all of a sudden we find out something else exists where the EFL can decide that they have a totally different appeal system to players getting dismissed from the general population designed to reward stupid footballers.

I am sure that if MM had a solid case for his dismissal the EFL would have found in his favour. It is noticeable that MM didn't contest the ruling.

The person who caused the accident was still able to fulfil his contract of employment, the other person wasnt and refused to accept amended terms to his contract in line with the duties he would be carrying out.

Anyone defending a millionaire footballer in this instance is clearly just anti MM.

I notice you didn't answer if you would be happy to pay someone to carry out duties for you that they were unable to fulfil due to their own drunken stupidness.

I mean yeah when the EFL has disagreed with experts before it's always gone really well for them hasnt it?

There is the stadium valuation, the amortisation policy...

Why should someone who wasn't responsible for the accident but got injured accept reduced terms of employment when the person who did carried on as normal. Anti MM , i am anti anyone who behaves in such a manner and also more for the fact the way he has managed to almost ruin the club.

If you were in someone elses car,had a crash,got injured through no fault of your own then got sacked from work would you not expect to try and get your money

He was the club captain, on a team bonding day and got in the car of a player that was drunk. 

Not sure about where you work but in the places where I have worked, employees in positions of responsibility are expected to act as such. 

If I couldn't work I would get paid SSP, so on this basis I assume you would agree that this is all Keogh should have been paid whilst unable to work?

I think you are aware that comparing footballers fixed term contracts to standard employment rights are two totally different kettles of fishes. 

By your implications which I know you are aware don't follow then Bielik would have only been paid SSP when he is currently injured as he's also unable to work. 

The difference with the Keogh case is that Derby tried to impose a variation in Keogh's fixed term contract which he didn't agree to therefore was sacked, and this sacking was later found to be unfair.

And I'm sure you're aware that Bielik picked up his injury carrying out his role as opposed to getting in a drunk persons car.

The sacking was later found to be unfair by the EFL...I'm not aware of them having expertise in the employment related field.

I don't want to rake over the Keogh case again and am aware that I did bring a comment up regards this on this thread so take responsibility for that.... hindsight being a wonderful thing in retrospect it would have been better for Derby to sack Keogh outright first which they didn't do and instead tried to vary his contract of employment which legally Keogh did not have to accept so then they sacked him.

I havent poured over the findings of the EFL as I'm no employment expert either my understanding was that the club didn't follow due protocol in the case but happy to be corrected.

Keogh was an utter twit for doing what he did but Morris didn’t sack him because of ‘gross misconduct’; he did only went down that route after Keogh refused a much reduced contract. Regardless of the circumstances Morris tried to circumvent established employment norms and ended up costing the club 2.5 million. Another example of his piss poor decision making.

It would appear MM or his legal team don't either otherwise Keogh wouldn't have received his payoff.

I am sure he would, if the EFL can't make any sense of our accounts i don't know how prospective buyers would.

I’m sure a prospective buyer will be able to read a P&L and Balance Sheet properly-or seek guidance from advisors that can. ?

Maybe it’s the possible lack of clarity surrounding the EFL’s position on Amortisation that is muddying the waters- but that’s only from what we hear. Who knows, maybe this has been made abundantly clear to our Board and we’re looking at ways to “deal” with it??  
 

All the time we hear nothing from MM, it’s all frustrating conjecture!

Anyway, anyone for tennis??
