...from that is that Keogh was on £24k pw basic.

That's £24,000 plus bonuses per week.

That's £1,248,000 per year.

Plus bonuses.

And, yet, they don't seem to have adequately replaced him as evidenced by their clown-car season. Imagine how much they re spunking per week on forwards.

There was a story about an unnamed Champoionship club who had to offer a couple of players they didn't want new contracts to extend stays purely to amortise their transfer fees over a longer period to nit fail FFP........you won't need two guesses to work out who that was

...debt consolidation companies they advertise during Countdown.

They'll arrange for Derby to pay him £5 per week for 460,000 weeks.

Its bonkers to read the following para and realise that it was Keogh who was sacked. He was a passenger and left unconcious, and his team mates were both driving while over the limit.

"The car crash happened after a team-bonding day. Lawrence was over the drink-drive limit and so was Mason Bennett, now of Millwall, who had driven off ahead. When Bennett stopped his car at a give-way line, Lawrence went into the back of him before careering into the lamppost. They fled the scene, leaving Keogh unconscious."

Of course we all know if comes down to transfer value rather than morals though.

Sacking Keogh always felt wrong to me. All involved should be held to account, Keogh must have known they were over the limit and has to take responsibility for getting in the car in the car in the first place but you can't then pick and choose who you can dismiss for the same offence, esp when the one you do sack (legally At least)is the one least culpable..

It is also very possible he didn’t know they were over the limit, in which case it was a shocking decision.

This, from what I recalled Keogh wrecked his knee in the crash and was expected to be out of action for a good while and didn't have the asset value of the others. So they pinned the blame on Keogh as club captain and axed him. While the others who were equally culpable and some would argue more so didn't face the same treatment.

Despicable behaviour from the Club and glad to see Keogh win his case. For those of you questioning his wages he did do well for Derby prior to this and I seem to recall posters here wanting him to join us.

Brian Clough was a drinker.
