Mel Morris just won Richard Keogh’s unfair dismissal case for him on 10:34 - Nov 8 with 3502 views | Oldsmoker | I think Derby were always prepared to pay up Keoghs contract. If you've been compensated in full according to the employment laws then no matter how unfair the dismissal you're not getting any more money and you're not getting your old job back either. Those laws were brought in by the Tories under Thatcher and despite 13 years of a Labour government under Blair/Brown they weren't changed. | |

Mel Morris just won Richard Keogh’s unfair dismissal case for him on 10:53 - Nov 8 with 3435 views | pointofblue | I’m trying to think what my reaction would be if this was, say, Chambers, Downes and Norwood with the captain in the Keogh role. I would feel very uncomfortable if he was sacked and the other two kept on even though he was the only one who hadn’t broken the law by drink-driving. We have held drink-drivers to contract before, wasn’t that why Gary Croft has his tag? Indeed I think the clubs have sacked drink-drivers is when there has been a fatality because of it. But the whole Keogh situation just smacks of putting money above everything else. | |

They offered him 10% of his contract apparently | | | |

That won't do if that's the offer. If you want it to be settled then pay the whole contract up. You cannot single out one person especially if their role was minor compared to the others - that is discrimination. Derby need to settle in full because they won't win this and it will drag on, making the club look foolish only for them to pay up in the end. | |

....Keogh is a massive turd and everyone hates him. | |

Regarding the point he made about players potentially getting sacked deliberately then moving on a free, surely he could sack them but keep hold of their registration for the period of the original contract? I think I recall a case like this in the past. | | | |

Mel Morris finding ways round FFP? Surely not.. Can’t see Keoghs contract being a deciding factor in any FFP issues they have. They’ll be overspent more than Keogh’s contract value | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Very good point. It irrelevant about the other two. Keogh's actions deserved the sack. Plus the other two players actions didn't get them injured and not fit for work for 12 months, where as Keogh's did. If I had a drunken night out and it meant I was off work sick for 12 months, I would expect the sack too. | | | |

Though the other two players broke the law, which Keogh didn’t. | |

But it didn't affect them playing and working for their employer. Doesn't make what they did ok, but from an employers point of view, why sack them? | | | |

I think you will find that as his treatment was different to the two others involved it will be quite easy to prove in court that it was an unfair dismissal. It is quite obvious that Keogh is not an asset while the other two are and that is the reason for his sacking. [Post edited 8 Nov 2019 13:27]

Even if all three were sacked, Keogh's would be the most 'unfair' of the lot. | | | |

Depends how it's all worded in his contract. Would imagine there's a very strong case of "bringing the club into disrepute" etc, and he was club captain whereas the others weren't. | |

The simple answer would be for the FA to revoke registrations of players sacked for gross misconduct for a period, preventing them from playing for any club. | |

You are right, but there is still something disgusting about it for me. If I was a Derby fan I wouldn’t be comfortable with it and indeed some of them aren’t. But most are which tells us what we already know about the game. Money 1st 2nd 3rd. | | | |

Lets refer to the most famous Club v Player disagreement. Jean-Marc Bosman v RFC Liege. The ruling now known as the Bosman Ruling was made by the European Court of Justice. It overruled the laws of the Belgian FA. It overruled the contract between the player and RFC Liege. It completely ignored the opinions of a lower league football club forum based in the East of England. It's all about english and european law - not opinions. | |

What have been their legal consequences for breaking the law? That hasn’t been discussed as much? | |

Mel Morris just won Richard Keogh’s unfair dismissal case for him on 12:37 - Nov 9 with 1800 views | backinbeige | Its Nottm Forest v Derby on Sky at the moment, the current chant going round the ground: He should be in jail He should be in jail Tom Lawrence He should be in jail I don't necessarily agree with that - he should receive the correct punishment for his offence, not an unnecessarily increased one. But I can't help but think we're focusing a lot on the football side of this (who should/shouldn't be sacked, when someone should be allowed to return to their national team) and not the human side. | |
