I've noticed how, after a disappointing result or two, there are fewer posts on these boards. I know I like to draw back from football for an hour/day or two when we are up against things as a team. I'm struggling to find positives at the moment though there are a few around. The younger teams are all doing well and we have a good club structure. There is the fear of uncertainty surrounding Mel's intentions of maybe selling the club, or merely getting someone to help with a cash investment. Either of these actions could be undesirable.
But, we have 'boro to come and then a Forest game to whip up some enthusiasm. COYR.

Surely it’s covered in the terms and conditions of Keogh’s contract? He has got himself injured as a result of a reckless act. Therefore, the club must have the right to renegotiate the terms of the deal?

If there is a clause in a player’s contract that he can be sacked if he brings the club into disrepute, then the club can exercise that option. It doesn’t mean that the club is forced to do it. Clearly there is inconsistency but I suppose the club could claim that being captain raises the level of expected behaviour for Keogh. I expect Keogh will appeal in the first instance, why wouldn’t he? Then he might get legal advice if he hadn’t already. Maybe he and the club will come to an arrangement and the sacking is the first part of the negotiation.

This is very simple.
Keogh gets sacked for misconduct.
The club save his wages.
He then sues Lawrence under his insurance for loss of earnings and the insurance pays out
Keogh gets his money, the club saves and we all end up paying more for our car insurance.

FFS Peeder, I've enough problems with my blood pressure with DCFC and Brexit, without you bringing insurance into the mix.

Let’s hope we don’t see a player backlash here.
They could take the view this had been dealt with. Club punishment was meted out to Lawrence and Bennett but not to Keogh at the time.
The club then find out the prognosis for Keogh’ injury and look for a cheap way out. As a player you could feel a bit annoyed at the treatment of a fellow pro.
We’ll see if they put the effort in on Saturday.

I don't agree Rameses.
If I got smashed out of my head and fell-over breaking my leg, the result of which meant I couldn't do my job (as say a lorry driver), I expect my employer would be perfectly within their rights to sack me, (assuming they knew the facts behind my "accident"?

Your employer might well be justified but your mates who you were out with may feel different.

Ramdini you have really started a storm. Everything was quiet till you posted and that set DCFC off sacking RK.

Wonder what the basis of his case will be? Gross misconduct would a very difficult charge to fight I would imagine.
