I posted a while since about former Derby County player Richard Keogh, who
was injured in a road traffic accident, with other Derby County players, after
being sacked, Keogh was awarded compensation by a tribunal.
Derby County contested the payment, & appealed.
The findings of the appeal.
The League Appeals Committee has heard & dismissed an appeal, under the
Regulations of the EFL by Derby County ( " The Club " ), against the decision
of the Player Related Dispute Commission ( " PRDC " ), in the case of
Richard Keogh.
The case arose out of events on 24th September 2019, in which Mr Keogh
was seriously injured in a Road Traffic Accident, & his subsequent dismissal
by the club.
The PRDC held that Mr Keogh had not committed gross misconduct, &
that he had not brought the club into serious disrepute, & that he had
been wrongfully dismissed by the club. ( Derby County )
The awarded pay out, was in the region of £2.3m.
Derby County in it, up to their necks.
