		<description>Headline should read &quot;Keegan wins v Ashley&quot;

Why is Stardust allowed to post on this (otherwise sensible) blog?

		<description>Has anyone considered the possibility that Keegan claimed 25 million to get his day in court as Ashley wouldn&#039;t fork out that amount willingly??

If Kegan asks for 2 million ( paid off without the truth)
If Keegan asks for 4 million (paid off without the truth)

However, he asks for 25 million, Ashley faints then tells him not a chance in hell....Thus we have a court hearing and the whole truth comes out!

One really damaging point to come from this is signing of a player &quot;that isn&#039;t intended to play in the first team&quot; paying 60k per week in wages!! Where do you think these wages were going?? In effect we were probably paying the agents brother 60 grand per week for a 12 month holiday in the uk and several parties splitting the money!! This must be illegal in some way, is this the new way Agents get their bungs??

Then the letter received by Keegan stating that he would have no future control over these &quot;commercial deals or Financials&quot; it beggars belief that a club could operate in this way.

Having read the whole document and had time to digest it I feel that Keegan was fully vindicated in his decision and if the time ever arose for a third spell at the club he would get my backing.</description>

		<description>My god, the humanity.....the humanity! All this proves is Ashley&#039;s regime is bent and Keegan couldn&#039;t conscience it. His claim for £25m, while being punted around, could have been a misnomer.....he tried to blast a hole in Ashley rather than the club.

The £2m while be paid sharpish and, hopefully, the sale while glide through soon after.

In any event, another obstacle has now been removed between us and promotion.

The dream of unity inches ever closer!

Excelsior Out!!</description>

		<description>Mike Ashley has over seen a regime that has been totally discredited and humiliated!

Just because he didn&#039;t do you dirty work himself doesn&#039;t make him any less culpable!

His regime, his responsibility!

Saddam Hussein had generals to do his dirty work....

At last we&#039;ve seen all in front of us and it&#039;s filthy.

Can we ever believe anything that the club says now?

The tie between the supporters, the city and the club has been broke and won&#039;t be repaired until he has taken his generals and fcked off!

&#039;Get out of our club, get out of our club, you fat cockney bast*rd get out of our club&#039;!

I&#039;ll be singing that tomorrow without a doubt!

Oh and shame on KK for asking for £25m!</description>

		<description>There has been too much read into the ritual over-advocacy (from both sides) and inevitable legalese.  Such is the way tribunals function.  The bottom line is this whole sorry affair probably cost the club its Premiership status.  It should have been settled quickly last year when KK and MA were deep in post walk out discussions when a clear, clean break was needed.  It&#039;s all slightly meaningless now, except for KK, who will (rightly) feel vindicated but far from virtuous.

Despite the bluster and ludicrous claims, all that has happened is the Tribunal has pointed to the compensation clause in the contract, and asked MA (trading as NUFC) to honor it.  As a gentleman he could admitted the de facto breakdown in relations with KK and have sorted this last year, moved on and saved the club wasteful legal fees (a lot more than £2m I suspect) and uncertainty - and appointed a proper replacement.  

But, alas, MA is no multi-tasker, and until this trifle was resolved, or the club sold, its day to day welfare was of no importance to this bloody-minded hawker until we slid under the waves through his sheer neglect and denial.

I have some sympathy for Stardust&#039;s view (...I said &#039;some&#039;..) but can see where a situation like this becomes irresolvable but for 3rd party arbitration / intervention. However, a tribunal is not a football game, you can&#039;t win 5-0, a technicality is all it takes and KK probably could have won on several, including Milner&#039;s sale; his legal team simply chose the most damaging.   

Let&#039;s hope opposing factions have kissed and made up by tomorrow and this does not represent a long term schism, as I suspect neither KK nor MA are about to play any role in the long term future of the club.  Pleased about the result, unhappy about the fact the whole sorry incident ever occurred.  

Closure, PLEASE!</description>

		<description>Stardust, even if it was just about the signing of one player (which, according to the findings of the Arbitrary panel it wasn&#039;t), it was still ultimately grounds for constructive dismissal as evidenced by today&#039;s judgement. 

The current regime have set a dangerous precendent in openly admitting lieing to supporters over a major issue; surely any future utterings from such individuals cannot hold any credence? 

Kevin Keegan is no hero of mine (neither is Ashley the devil incarnate), but like it or not he has been vindicated in a court of law. 

There are occasions when you just have to acede to things/decisions you don&#039;t necessarily agree with. Such is life...</description>
