Apparently turned down the earlier offer

So farewell then. Thanks for all the fish.

Odd though, two convicted drink drivers back in the team. Drunken captain (by all accounts) sacked.

Doesn't seem desperately fair.

Must be something more to it than we hear.

Like I was saying at the time it happened. Why should Derby pay full wages when it’s not their fault. I wonder if he can claim off Lawrence

Agreed. However, if they have effectively sacked him for breach of contract. then unless they do the same for the other two, I can see a massive law suit forming.
Loss of wages, public humiliation etc.

Compared to the what the other two did, he doesn't deserve this.
Eactly how much money have those two lost, compared to Keoghs contract reduction?

Tricky agree it doesn't seem fair but there's obviously things we don't know about Like what instructions he was under on the night Taxis were laid on by the club especially for players like him who don't drive He hasn't exactly lost anything his contract was up next June . Yes been paid up for that ,if he accepted a reduction he would have had a further contract Anyway he has 14days to appeal it

‘On the face of it, it does look like double standards unless there are things we aren’t privy to.’

Spot on MA...sat about ten rows in front of him against Wigan and he seemed to be getting a good reception and a lot of best wishes.

You never can tell, we don’t know the details and I’m going to make no further comment other than to say it’s a very sad day for DCFC when a player who has given so much ends his career under such a cloud...that and I very much doubt we’ve heard the last of this.

They are quoting a report in the Guardian which isn't generally known for publishing stuff that isn't factual. It does seem like double standards, he wasn't driving, but because he isn't worth anything on the transfer market they get rid. Of course there could be more to it and there could be specific clauses in his contract which covers his actions off the field, but in employment law terms, the club seem to be on very sticky ground if there are not specific clauses in his contract which they are relying on - think we will hear more on this, though there again a mutually agreed settlement is the more likely outcome.

Farewell it seems to a good servant for the club, one of our more consistent players and IMO a good captain over the past few years.

Swales your right obviously things we don't know. Employment law is very complicated when it comes to dismissing an employee Would have thought the club's legal team would have gone through it very meticulously Personally I think he was stupid not to accept a reduced wage Seems like he's been badly advised Would imagine the FL will become involved . From the club's point of view they will argue his own stupidity in getting in a car with a driver he knew had been drinking resulting in a long term injury exacerbated by not wearing a seatbelt

He could put in a civil claim against Lawrence I guess
