The Daily Mirror and The Independent are reporting that former manager Kevin Keegan has filed a claim against Newcastle and owner Mike Ashley, seeking as much as £8million from his former club.
Keegan had been 8 months into a three year, £60,000- a-week contract, before leaving the club in September. The club maintains that he left voluntarily and is therefore not entitled to compensation. Keegan maintains that the club made misrepresentations regarding his role in the club's transfer policies, effectively undermining his position.
The case is scheduled to be heard by a three-member Premier League tribunal.
