But this is what amused me:
The publication states that Keegan was advised by former Magpies executive director (football) Dennis Wise to sign the midfielder after only seeing footage on You Tube.

This is the thing that got me. I didn't like the way he was treated as it looked like he was going to be given the time by fans to build something but how can you possibly say you love something and then effectively try to destroy it

Its not even like he was trying to get at the owner, as if he had been award the full amount he'd of just put the club into administration which would of probably fucked any chance of going up this year.

Not at all, given what he already has in the bank too, imagine that would be in to 6 figures as well.

The £25m was based on him staying manager until his planned retirement at 65

Was it?
According to SSN before it was about £8m for the remainder of his contract that was left, and the rest were damages that this saga has caused to his possible future employment within the footballing community.
