Richard Keogh has now been sacked by Derby after his part in the 'crash incident'.
He was of course left injured and out of action for 15 months in the crash.
I wonder why he has been sacked and the other 2 players - one of whom was driving the car - haven't? It smells a bit like them not wanting to pay him whilst he is of no use to them, whereas the other 2 players are already back in action.
"The club will not tolerate any of its players or staff behaving in a manner which puts themselves, their colleagues, and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse, or which brings the club into disrepute."
....unless they are fit to play clearly!

What a classy club they are. Dodgy accounting to avoid FFP and now this. I really hope that it all falls apart for them.
One other point is that at his age he has very little transfer value where as the other two could command a good transfer fee
Money talks ! (louder than justice)
Taking aside the apparent injustice in treating him differently from the other two (if that is all his 'release' was related to), but I have to say that we go on and on that football club owners and shareholders should treat it more as a business, and that is what they are doing. It is callous but it is the same as a manufacturer would do in the case of a failed product (plus getting rid of some of the production line workers too probably). We all love the game but financial solvency and accountability has finally come to the forefront in football. Derby, along with others, may well have flaunted financial constraints but now all the teams should be held accountable (literally)
