Coming from Newcastle myself this article naturally interested me, i dont know what you think about the ridiculous money going around in the football industry but personally i think its outrageous!

Keegan to sue Newcastle for £9m in contract war: The Club is facing a costly battle as Toon icon claims unfair dismissal
Kevin Keegan is suing Newcastle United for £9million in damages after claiming unfair dismissal following his departure as manager last month.
The 57-year-old's second stint in charge on Tyneside ended in acrimonious circumstances after a bust-up with owner Mike Ashley.

Keegan has begun legal proceedings against the club demanding full payment of his three-and-a-half-year contract, according to the London Evening Standard.
It is believed Keegan claims he signed a deal to return to Newcastle on the condition that he was given total control of all first-team affairs.
But the former England boss believes Dennis Wise's role as director of football infringed upon the terms of that agreement and made his position untenable.
The transfer of striker Xisco from Deportivo on deadline day is thought to have particularly riled Keegan, who had minimal knowledge a deal would be struck.
It remains to be seen how the club responds as the club has so far declined to comment.

I don't know who his lawyer is but 9 million pounds for Keegan!? I dont think so...

Let me know what you think, or if you know of any other interesting cases.
