Keggy Keegle compensation/Newcastle

[Yorkshire Blue]

Keggy Keegle has been awarded £2m for constructive dismissal but what is fascinating is how this provides an insight into the goings on at a dysfunctional big club.

Keegan resigned over Newcastle signing someone he didn't think was any good but the club thought it was in their commercial interest to sign, in order to get the player's agents to look favourably on them in future. No-one at the club had seen him play, but Wise told Keegan to look him up on youtube.

Do we know the player in question?

And lo, the tail has started to wag the dog...

:doh:

I guess that beats the heck out of figures of 8million to 25million that have been bandied about. The goings on at St James Park have left most bewildered.

However and along the lines of my Redknapp rant, Keegan is another git, who doesn't hesitate to chuck his toys out of the pram when he doesn't get his own way. How he is lauded as a Messiah by NUFC fans is another source of amazement to me.

Yes and no.

They named him, but I hadn't heard of him (and can't remember his name).

Ignacio Gonzalez was the player.
