Just got back from awards night n he wudnt give too much away, so cant imagine he'd share much more with Claus!! Quite a strange rumour to start i must admit but surely theres others within the game he'd confide in. Lets just hope he doesnt run his options past his bezzie mate Boothroyd! He def wudnt stay then!!!!
Kings contract doesnt run out until 1st July..... quite rightly he is using that time, just as anyone else would, to review his situation. Many clubs will not be active in the market until then. As he is under contract until 1st July clubs have to ask to approach him. After 1st July its a free for all and I would expect he will get quite a few enquiries having scored 13 goals in 29 appearances at a lower Championship team. Perfectly sensible to keep his options open - we all would do it.
Will other fans accept him..... of course they would, in the same way that our fans did. Half our fans were dead set against the guy start of the season, I doubt thats the case right now. Fans have been won over by his ability, determination and effort on the pitch.... and so long as he keeps himself behaved off the pitch that is all any fans see. Personally I admire is ability on the pitch but I still find his past behaviour offensive and reprehensible (that hasnt and wont change)...... doesnt stop me giving the guy credit for what he has done for the team, which after all is what I have paid for. As soon as he starts scoring the goals he will be very welcome at any club.
He has proven he is a goal scorer ..... in a business of few real morals and totally money driven that is a rare commodity..... dont kid yourself plenty of teams will take a look at him, especially as they will be able to tell their disgruntled fans of Kings year of rehabilitation at CCFC and that he got fans player of the year!
Is he replaceable, of course he is, every player is. Financial issues aside, the club will be here long after he goes. Would I like him here yes...... I think his attitude/ability and tutoring of the likes of Jutkiewicz has and could be just as valuable as his goals to us. Do i expect him to be here no....... and I cant blame him one bit in taking time to decide and then doing the best for his family..... its a short career and he (as we all would) needs to maximise his earnings.
From the interview I heard on CWR i got the strong feeling that the guy has been very touched by the support he has had at CCFC from players managers and most importantly & especially the fans. Trouble is it doesnt pay the bills and what ever he decides good luck to him
Can't really see Marlon staying. On the other hand, can't really see him going to a Premiership side either, so top CCC side seems more likely. Just make sure you're not ending up a fox!
Greetings to all of you by the way. Norwegian fan here, finally attempting to be more active among the core fans=). Obviously planning a few trips over next season as well=). PUSB!

King himself
"
Although everything is right in terms of being settled at the club and the brand of football under Andy Thorn, the ambitious King knows this could be his last chance of having a crack at the big time.
“I can’t lie, everything is under consideration,” he said. “If you ask a normal working person to double their wages, you have to weigh it up.
"It is a short career and I am 31 so everything will play a part in the decision I make – finance, ambition and opportunities.
“I am no spring chicken any more and I have got to be realistic.
“Being settled somewhere and when the fans adore you like they do it is hard to break that relationship.
"But I have got to be honest with myself and everyone else and you can’t tell a club you are going to be signing if you are not 100 per cent.
“I like to think I have left here with my head held high and it is good to see the club moving in the right direction.”
the last line is particularly relevant
