A Split Decision?
With the signing of marlon king now looking increasingly likely, there have been calls from both sides regarding the should we or shouldn't we thought camps.
There is no doubting his ability as a footballer, but the ethical option is a lot more difficult to square in peoples minds.
If he scores the goals that take us to the promised land, he will probably be remembered in the future as a great signing, if we fail to make the top 6, then i suppose he will be looked upon as a bit of a failure and a gamble that needn't have been taken.
Who is right and who is wrong only time will tell, but in my book, everyone deserves a second chance and an opportunity to wipe the slate clean, let's all hope he proves to be an inspired signing for Coventry City, what I can say with some certainty, judging by the comments on the forums, is that the jury is still out.
I know one thing though and that is that we wouldn't have picked up a player of his class and ability, had it not been for his problems off the field.
Good luck to him and lets see what the future holds?

Love that line "no doubting his abilities", really? Try telling Hull City, Wigan Athletic, Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest fans that!
What about the line: "Who is right and who is wrong only time will tell"?
You are entitled to your opinion, as am I.
I have avoided leaving any comment on the Marlon King saga but canâÂÂt keep it back any longer..
Irrespective of the social and moral position, I feel that is a separate issue, I donâÂÂt think this guy is anywhere near good enough to take us any further forward.
Given the reported amounts he will be earning, pay per game or not, I feel this âÂÂsigningâ has the potential to blow CCFC and what AB is trying to achieve wide open.
Hope IâÂÂm wrong but for many many reasons (all football related) Marlon King is not a signing Coventry City should be making right now.
In short, not good enough, maybe was once, but way past anything that resembled his best.
"There is no doubting his ability as a footballer."
Er, yes there is! One season. And he's then failed at every other club and he's not getting any younger.
Not fit to wear the shirt.
