Guest alex Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Maybe Keegan wants the truth to come out for the good of the club. Less ridiculous than some things I've seen put forward. The truth would benefit us how? More protests in the middle of a promotion bid? By making Ashley's position untenable perhaps and forcing him to sell? In any case, do you think it's actually better for the club if Ashley and co have behaved in an unacceptable way and that's kept away from the supporters? How does that work? The owner does what the fuck he likes and no one finds out beyond a select few? That's going to be beneficial for the club in the long run is it? I don't think so.

trophyshy 7084 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Inevitable and predicted; http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soccer/20...4255161471.html Ashley fears for Newcastle over Keegan compensation Newcastle owner Mike Ashley could be forced to put the club into administration if former boss Kevin Keegan wins a massive compensation pay-out. Some at the club fear Keegan could be awarded far in excess of the €10million which has been reported if he successfully argues his case. That would have major financial implications for the cash-strapped club, with administration the most stark of a range of options. Keegan’s claim for constructive dismissal, which is being heard by a Premier League independent arbitration panel, is expected to reach a conclusion tomorrow. Should Ashley choose administration, the Magpies would lose 10 Coca-Cola Championship points, a penalty which would undermine their efforts to drag themselves back into the Premier League at the first attempt. It is just over a year since Keegan left St James’ Park for the second time as manager amid a furious bust-up over the club’s transfer policy. His departure came following the deadline day arrivals of striker Xisco and loan signing Ignacio Gonzalez, both allegedly without his knowledge. His case is understood to rest on his claims that his position had become untenable, while Newcastle’s defence is that he was fully aware of the way the recruitment set-up would work under Dennis Wise, then executive director (football), and that he walked out on his contract. The two parties met in an attempt to find a solution days later, but were unable to do so, and arbitration talks since have also proved unsuccessful. After Keegan left, Chris Hughton, Joe Kinnear, Hughton again and Alan Shearer had spells as manager, but none of them were able to prevent relegation at the end of last season. Ashley held talks with Shearer in the immediate aftermath of the drop to discuss the way forward, but then decided instead to put the club on the market for the second time. But almost four months on and despite lengthy negotiations with a series of potential buyers, none has yet finalised a €110m deal to end the sportswear magnate’s ill-fated tenure. Indeed, the spectre of the Keegan situation may well have been a factor in that with prospective owners unwilling to pick up the tab should he win his case. The playing staff has been greatly by a summer exodus which has seen a wage bill of €80m reduced by around half, and as the club awaits developments on the Keegan front, only two loan signings — Danny Simpson and Zurab Khizanishvili — have arrived to plug the gap.

The club is up for sale anyway, he wants out, so what need is there for us to know until after he has gone? So you think it's beneficial that every detail of wrongdoing is aired in public, so that the off-field problems come to the forefront again and distract the club from it's main aim, to gain promotion?

I don't believe Ashley is currently determined to sell either fwiw. Just more lies imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big risk unless he has a case though because it'll cost him solicitors' fees plus the clause about him paying Ashley if he walked. So if it was just about the money he must be one hell of a gambler. But I don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I dont see what anyone would gain from these stories about administration?
