This is a quote from Wikipedia. I know that it may not have absolute truth but the foundations are what I want to discuss. And in particular the highlighted part
As the transfer window closed at midnight 2 September, rumours started to appear in the press stating that Keegan was extremely unhappy with Director of Football Dennis Wise' interference in team matters. The following morning Keegan had a meeting at St. James Park with Wise and Managing Director Derek Llambias, it is unknown what exactly was said in the meeting but witnesses saw Keegan storm out of the meeting claiming to be sacked.[27] Keegan drove to Manchester to consult with the League Managers Association chief-executive Richard Bevan, while in this meeting it is thought Ashley found out from Llambias of the row and attempted to contact Keegan. On 4 September 2008, Keegan resigned from the club following days of talks with the board of Newcastle United headed by Llambias.[28] This led to prolonged protests by fans directed chiefly against Ashley and Wise, being dubbed the "Cockney Mafia." The club was warned by the League Managers Association on 5 September 2008 to develop a structure which would satisfy the next manager to replace Keegan to avoid a similar situation repeating itself and damaging the club's image.
This must surely be being damaged almost beyond repair. The whole JK scenario os almost identical to the Wise Keegan issue.
As Pardew appears to be clearly not satisfied, maybe this is the reason why pardew holds the cards in the contract termination row. Possibly he would have cause to complain at the LMA and potentially get unfair dismissal.
Did anyone else know about this so called structure?
