What sort of fan celebrates there own club losing one of there best players? You don't support the player, you support the team

Eastwood could be good but he has a poor attitude and does very little off the ball in terms of attacking and defending

All he is doing is trying to give the fans and by the sounds of it himself some optimism for next season, it sounds as if he is trying to convince himself as well as fans that there will be life after King rather than moping around feeling sorry for himself Also at a club like Coventry we need...

That seems pretty clear to me

I hope this "Franchise player" isn't Kevin Phillips

Brody spoke Basically said he wants to continue to be open with the fans and that is an education process of learning what a verbal agreement. Brody basically blamed the agent for mucking this deal. He rubbished the claim that King had not received this document as this was not part of the...

They gave him abuse for his crimes and convictions. We will give him abuse for turning his back on us and betraying us.

We should have added the option for a second year. How do we know King would have agreed to a 2 year deal 12 months ago? It was obvious all we were to King was a way back into football and stepping stone to earning more money. He didn't want to stick around any longer than he needed to, I doubt...

Oh and when he scores his first goal and shows you a shirt saying "4 U" just remember it means absolutely nothing.

No Phillips can't last a whole season for 90 mins per game, he would be a very good signing but is not King's replacement imo

Ok sorry I didn't see that thread as it has dropped off the front page and the thread title doesn't even make it clear what the thread was about

This thread is not a M.King bashing thread like all the other, we all know what he did was shameful This thread is simply to discuss whether the club could have been more pro active in getting the signature after the verbal agreement

I think the more abuse we give him it just shows how much we actually cared about him and how hurt we all feel by the situation. The best thing we can do is thrash Birmingham in both fixtures next season, preferably with King missing a sitter and being sent off

Ok I understand we're all sick of this subject and he is gone now people want to move on. I appreciate the clubs honesty in this situation, and the only one who has came out of this tarnished is King. But I can't help but feel the club were naive to assume he would honour his agreement given his...

Ok I see your point, I agree I didn't like the way he had a hero's welcome before he had even kicked a ball However he is one of our better players and I also think the % of fans who wanted him to sign a new deal is greater than the % of fans who wanted to sign him 12 months ago, hence meaning...

How is wanting to keep your better players at the club fantardness? And I am pretty sure the standard of football had something to do with the gates

Agreed, but I can only assume he did give his word as Thorn backs it up as well and he seems like an honest man. If the board did indeed make it up or twist the conversation they had with King then that is scandalous

Neither would I, but are you going to slate him for going back on verbal agreement and making a mockery out of our club?

Brody didn't make the decision to announce it, it was a decision taken by the board because fans asked for more info on the runnings of the club etc. The only one who should feel bad/in the wrong are King and his advisor. Brody tries his best to communicate and help fans and most of them just...

"how many sung 'she said no M'lord' to him? and how many of those people are now championing his signing now? HYPOCRITES!!!" Quote from a Birmingham board :laugh:
