It is my understanding that tomorrow morning another article will likely come out in the paper which questions Marlon's possible signing at CCFC. This story, like the Sky News story today, was based on information from his representative. I want to ensure that we are always open with CCFC fans, and, in that spirit, and want to restate the facts clearly for everyone:
1. Marlon and his representative both verbally confirmed to Andy and Ken respectively that Marlon has agreed to the terms in the proposed contract and will return to CCFC next season. This is fact.
2. We choose to be public about this so that fans weren't kept in the dark
3. This is a verbal agreement and contracts must still be signed, but terms have been agreed and contract is on it's way to Marlon's representative now
4. Anything can of course happen, and Marlon can choose not to sign, however, we wanted you all to know we had agreed on terms.
Hope this helps. Didn't want anyone to be jarred again by another article that may come out tomorrow. I will say again, I think one of the big reasons that Marlon is looking at coming back is because of how welcome the fans have made him feel. A big credit and thanks is owed to all of you.

Ok, then why was Marlon and his Fuckwit of an agent at Birmingham today? And why, when they left, was the Brum chief exec 'very happy indeed'?
