It does indeed appear to say "KING _ I STAY"

It does indeed appear to say "KING _ I STAY"

And in smaller writing it says striker agrees new deal

 

[mattylad]

yes the club have confirmed he will sign a deal when he returns from holiday

 

[skyblu3sk]

Seems like good news though he hasn't put pen to paper yet

 

[Regis87]

Cautious happiness

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

He SAID yes Marlon, he SAID yes.

Sign it now Marlon, sign it now.

 

[Disorganised1]

Should "encourager les autres...."

 

[Pigeon]

Very, very happy this morning. So fantastic news out of the Sky Club Camp! He scores goal Marlon, he scores goals and he's ours Fester!

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

Great news today. Could also be a ploy to get the press to the Ricoh on the same day as the kit release as the atmosphere down there will be buzzing. As if SSN won't want a link showing someone in the new shirt with King on the back. I think this is the type of thing Paul Clouting has been brought in to do.
High hopes for today, let's hope it comes off...

I believe there's still legality in a verbal agreement, could be wrong. Thorn and Harrison were both announced after a verbal contract at first too.


Assuming all goes well, this is a lot better than any 'new' signing.

Must admit it, I thought there was no chance of him staying.

Great news, so hard to find a consistent goalscorer in this league and with 12 goals in 24 league starts last season it looks like we (still) have one!

 

[mattylad]

love the fact he has spoken to thorn to tell him personally, it speaks volumes of the relationship the players have with him

 

[skybluelee]

Has absolutely made my day!

 

[Coventry La La La]

Does these mean we won't see the likes of Ann Lucas at the ricoh for 2 seasons? good riddence I say

He score goals Marlon

 

[kg82]

Absolutely fantastic news! Couldn't bloody sleep last night with anticipation and thought I was going to be disappointed!

 

[6 Generations]

From 'Zero to Hero', Long live The King!!!!!

[skybluegod]

Yes go marlon
play up you sky blues

 

[TommyAtkins]

There is legality in verbal agreements but trying to make them hold up in a Court can be expensive and uncertain.

The good news is that now we can sell Marlon King for a fee in January

 

[covkid69]

going to pick my shirt up from the ricoh today.....now should i have king on the back or what

 

[ccfctommy]

Fantasic news, I too thought he had no chance of signing.

 

[Gaskell]

wow, actually good news for once. Fair play to the board, AT and SH, they've obviously worked hard to get him to put pen on paper. PUSB :claping hands:

 

[sy79]

All I can hear is the ball hitting the back of the net!!!

 

[Lets all sing together]

Fantastic news

That's the spirit.

 

[skybluewill]

Really happy with this news, it's rare in recent times for our best players to stay so enjoying the moment.

 

[covcity4life]

i love all the fans who stated king would not sign as if it was a fact.

oh wait no i dont, i hate the pricks.:jerkit:

 

[Monkeyface]

Great news.
With other clubs, who seem to have some spending power, sniffing round, makes me wonder if he has been told we will be adding to the squad. He must think we have a chance next year, or am I just getting carried away.

 

[Phil_Mc_90]

Absolutely fantastic news! Not a chance this smile is leaving my face today PUSB

 

[silly si14]

Great start to the day! Now anyone know when he gets back off holiday so he can sign it

 

[Gaskell]

I wonder what impact this will have on Gunnar and Westy? Although I think we all know that Westy is 99% off.

 

[Dan Griffin]

Great start to the day! Now anyone know when he gets back off holiday so he can sign it

Sometime this month

 

[rob9872]

Unbelievable news! If I'm completely honest then I'm still sceptical until there is pen on paper, but it's a massive boost. Just hope it's not a joint ploy between his agent and the club to sell tickets for the club and give him a couple of weeks for a better offer to come in ... I know I'm a cynic just hard not to worry with our history. God I pray this is true.

 

[CovLis86]

With Andy Thorn being quoted, i do believe it has to be true. You just watch Marlon break his leg on a waterski or something now!

This is a massive coup for the club, and more than anything, hopefully it can signal some intentions to prospective targets and be a wagering tool for us.
