Doesn't make the Phillips rumour true though.
Neither player is owned by either club, so it would just be a coincidence.
If you've been talking to KP all this time then the club obviously never thought King was going to sign anyway.

It will have been in the last few days when the reports of Birmingham's interest were publicised
Exactly what I thought. Its just another 'Marlon to Birmingham.....but not yet confirmed' post! = Pointless!
I doubt very much this will all be anounced at 8pm in the evening so I don't expect anything to happen tonight other than more rumours.
8 days ago nobody thought he was signing, he hasn't signed.
There should of been nothing on the official website saying that he's agreed a deal, it's fine on Cov MAD, but the official site should only post if or when he signed on the dotted line. That's the only thing that annoys me, I can't really blame King for going to play for Brum.

Where's the club transparency? If it is true they must have learnt not to show their hand too soon. Anyone asked @lbrodey?
I feel sorry for him in a way, having to come up with the answers when sometimes he isnt even sure.
"how many sung 'she said no M'lord' to him? and how many of those people are now championing his signing now? HYPOCRITES!!!"

You don't make announcements until you are sure though do you?
It is like spending money before your new job is 100% confirmed.
I can't believe some of you actually thought King had an ounce of loyalty or decency in him.
We gave him a step up and now he's tossed us aside for more money, I expected nothing more from him.

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 throw it back in his face or patronise him, if I was Mr Brody I would have told some of the fans where to stick it after all the abuse they had given it.
Like he said how many other Directors stay up to 1am communicating with fans
Wether it was right for the club to announce the agreement is another debate all together, fans asked to be kept informed and that's what the club have done
Yeah - they are just as divided on the Brum board as we were here just before he signed for us.
I love this joke: So Marlon King was jailed for failing to score at a club. Which one? Wigan, Hull, Middlesbrough?
What he is doing though is giving us a first hand look at how things go wrong in football today. If he had not said anything and we were none the wiser then King perhaps would have gone somewhere else anyway. I would prefer to know if somebody said they were going to stay and then decided to leave.
Time to move on and get some respect in our club again after this sorry episode. The amount of grovelling from some Marlon fantards and the club for this scummy wigan reject is nothing short of embarrassing.
At least we made some money out of it
It makes you wonder why Real Madrid chose us to do the dodgy deal for them!
If you read Strachans book then the Jarni deal is explained in there. Real Madrid didnt choose us.
We had Jarni over here and wanted him for us, he agreed terms one day, and was due to have his medical the next day.
That night he was at a friendly and sat with Strachan and Richardson when his wife rang, Strachan says Richardson knew she didnt want to come to England and Real Madrid wanted to sign him, so he sent the money over to Betis and completed the deal without a medical so he was our player, then Real Madrid bought him from us
