Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Marlon King not committed to anyone, says agentMARLON KING'S agent has claimed his agent is not committed to any club yet - and negotiations are on-going. The striker has given Coventry City a verbal agreement to sign the new contract that has been on the table since the end of the season. The news has been greeted with delight from Sky Blues fans, who feared losing the star forward to M69 rivals Leicester City or a Premier League side. However King's agent Tony Finnigan says talks are still ongoing over the situation. He told Sky Sports: "I can confirm Marlon King has not committed his future to anyone and is continuing talks regarding his future."

somebum Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Thank fcuk, never wanted the rapist covscum here anyway
TheUltimateWinner Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 They haven't officially signed him yet... Still could be ours.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Yeah he verbally agreed a contract with Cov. Nothing signed, that'll be done when he returns to training, but who's saying his agent won't try and get him a better deal at a different club?
Blue Bob Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 It is on the BBC web site. So fairly as good as done. No doubt he used the financial clout that Leicester has and the wages we could offer to bump up his deal with Cov!!!
MC Prussian Posted 4 June 2011 Posted 4 June 2011 It is on the BBC web site. So fairly as good as done. No doubt he used the financial clout that Leicester has and the wages we could offer to bump up his deal with Cov!!! Now you watch him taking Coventry down. Poison for the team spirit when one guy starts playing the money game.
ithuriel Posted 4 June 2011 Posted 4 June 2011 Hopefully he will sign for Cov and we never have to hear his name linked with Leicester again
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 4 June 2011 Posted 4 June 2011 Coventry claim King agreement Sky Blues insist they've had assurances from striker and advisor Coventry have attempted to clear up the confusion over Marlon King's future by insisting they have had a "double verbal agreement" he will sign a new deal. The 31-year-old striker impressed at the Ricoh Arena last season, scoring 12 goals in 28 Championship appearances, but is now out of contract and has been linked with a move to Leicester. Coventry manager Andy Thorn claimed on Friday that King has told him he will sign a new deal when he comes back off holiday. But King's advisor Tony Finnigan later told skysports.com that the former Watford striker was yet to commit his future to anyone and was still in talks. However, the Sky Blues have responded by saying they have not only had assurances from King but Finnigan too. "Coventry City wish to state that they have had a double verbal agreement that Marlon King will be a Sky Blues player next season," read a statement on the club's official website. Verbal confirmation "Chairman Ken Dulieu has a verbal confirmation from Marlon's friend and advisor while the player has also told manager Andy Thorn that he is looking forward to next season at the Ricoh Arena and is delighted to remain with the club. "The formalities of the deal will be concluded when Marlon returns from his summer holiday and we hope he will be a key member of Andy's squad for the coming season. "The club is aware of reports to the contrary but they are either ill-informed or inaccurate." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_6966298,00.html

Adster Posted 6 June 2011 Posted 6 June 2011 According to the Coventry Telegraph BIRMINGHAM are now in the hunt to sign him.
Callabinho Posted 6 June 2011 Posted 6 June 2011 Personally I think this is a way of Marlon saying "come and get me".
MrSpaM Posted 6 June 2011 Posted 6 June 2011 A verbal agreement between a player and a club means nothing. He's got every right to turn around tomorow and say he's changed his mind. Cov are trying to get his price up.
JayT - Always A Fox! Posted 6 June 2011 Posted 6 June 2011 A verbal agreement between a player and a club means nothing. He's got every right to turn around tomorow and say he's changed his mind. Cov are trying to get his price up. Dont u mean Marlon is trying to build his wage packet up? Y would Cov try and get his price up if he's a free agent? Or am i missing something? .

MikeyT Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Birmingham?? How smug does his face look in that photo. He needs a good slap!!!
alanf0x Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Heard Coventry may be going into Admin....so they may not be able to afford him now
Simmsy Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Birmingham signing Marlon King is the ideal solution to me. Coventry lose one of their best players to a rival without it being us.
Joe. Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Birmingham signing Marlon King is the ideal solution to me. Coventry lose one of their best players to a rival without it being us. Instead seeing him leave to one of our promotion rivals. Brilliant!
ibbosuk Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Birmingham signing Marlon King is the ideal solution to me. Coventry lose one of their best players to a rival without it being us. Yer strengthen one of our main contenders......Get a WHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
