Marlon King - What a ****, send him down

Lee Hughes killed someone and is back and playing! People soon get bored baiting and fans are fickle.

 

They'd soon forget all about it if he started scoring goals. The only thing they don't forgive is bad-mouthing the club.

 

I have a feeling he'll see longer time than if it was his first time or if it was with lads at the pub. I suspect they'll try to make it stick longer...I admit I don't have much familiarity with British "Corrections".

So right...

 

It would make an interesting poll to see how many people on here would have him back at WFC.

 

He'll serve half of his sentence in prison and half on licence in the community under the supervision of probation. That's the law of the land unfortunately. It's automatic and the circumstances of the offence are irrelevant.

 

It appears that Marlon's supporters in court abused the judge after the decision before storming out, then claiming it was a decision based on race. Seems his "friends" are of the same ilk.

I'd say he's finished in football myself. What self respecting woman would attend a game he played for for her club? Good riddance to bad blood.

 

Let's find out. I'm sure alll the signed-up female members of the forum will happily say what they think, having read the whole thread.

 

and milking! and hoofball, and shyte player purchases and managers with no integrity and a falling down stand and cold water taps and most of their team when they lose 3-0 to a good football team.

up the football league we go
when we get promoted
this is what we'll sing
we've got marlon we've got marlon
we've got marlon king



it's his own fault and it should ruin his career, but as said above he'll probably be let out early, then get another club no problem

 

im not happy to see him go down at all. i would rather he just didnt do it and stayed here

he was great for us and a legend. he however left us and did this outrageous thing

he deserves wat he got but im just really dissapointed because he could have become a proper legend at watford

the guy deserves all he gets really

 

What are you allowed to do whilst under supervision of probation? Can you work? Do you have to stay home? Wear an electronic braclet on your leg or somesuch?

 

Surely if the FA want to clean up the reputation of the game, they could ban a player for something like this. (or maybe impose a salary cap)

It may not have been an "at work" incident, but teaching and medical professions take a very dim view of employees who bring the trade into disrepute. For example the teacher sacked for doing modelling pics.

 

" work as a steward at millwall"

 

Copied and pasted:

"Let's say he does his time and comes out afterwards. Do you expect him to work for McDonalds? Someone - you trust me on this - will sign him to score goals"

King's agent Tony Finnigan

 

I'm not sure he could get a job at McDonald's with his criminal record.

 

Sad but true. If this happened to anyone else they'd rightly lose their job and if they had previous would they really be given yet another chance (same job same nice lifestyle)?

Looks like Colchester could go up this a year, anyone think Aidy might try to help him get back into football? Wigan chairman has said signing King was one of his biggest mistakes as 'it was clear his heart was not in football'

 

A question for UEA as he knows his stuff. Does his plea have an effect on his sentence? As he plead not guilty and was found guilty does not mean he gets a longer sentence then if he pleaded guilty?

 

Yes. It's commonly a third off for a guilty plea and the earlier the better as far as the court are concerned.

I believe it was his agent on Sky Sports News that said he was considering an appeal.

 

Hope he appeals and gets another 6 months

 

PS it's a MAXIMUM of one-third, tapering down as the prosecution progresses.

 

erm sorry for sounding stupid but could you simplify that please?

 

If you admit the offence at the first chance, you'll normally get 1/3 off the sentence you would have received otherwise. So if the sentence you would have received for a particular crime is 3 years, you might get 2 instead.

The amount of reduction gets less as the case progresses so that you won't get as much as 1/3 off if you wait. I think you'd only get 1/10 off if you wait until just before the trial starts then but these are just guidelines and the court should still take all circumstances into account. Mind you, I've seen (many years ago) deals done between the CPS and defence brief where the prosecution will accept a guilty plea to a lesser offence rather than risk a trial on a more serious charge.

If you are caught "red-handed" and you really don't have any way of saying you didn't do it, you'd be less likely to get a full reduction.

The idea behind the guidelines is that it saves court time, money and also the stress and trauma of victims and witnesses having to give evidence, especially at trial.

 

Chuck the key away. He's a wan*er.

I hope he drops the soap...

 

Hes a no mark woman beating w*nker who deserves a good kicking and then locking up for a long long time. Wont happen tho. Too many do gooders these days, who know they can make a living out of it.

 

Can you appeal a jury's finding of fact or only on a legal issue?

 

He will end up at Nott's County with Lee Hughes when he is released.

 

oh marlon marlon marlon.

how the mighty have fallen.

 

Only on a legal issue. If the jury were corrected directed by the judge and no substancial new evidence comes to light or wasn't considered then he hasn't got a leg to stand on. I imagine this talk of an appeal is initial bravado.

 

steveharrow is spot on. The added factor here is him apparently electing to go to Crown Court so sure was he he'd be found not guilty by jury. He could have gone to Mags with this months ago, pled guilty and probably done 6 weeks inside at the maximum.

 

Dave Whelan is a c n u t.

He would have known full well about King's previous, but thought he could get him on board on the cheap and rinse some goals out of him.

He's part of football's problems... Building a nice little team with Buckle-Nose Brucie then flogs em all off....

Ridic.

"Ooooh, he did it while out on loan at Hull..."

F c u k Off, son.....

TEAR DOWN YOUR CRACK DISH!

 

He's on the sex offenderrs list for 7 years hahahaha

 

Dave Whelan is just trying to raise his own profile now, he signed the player, and surely he would of known about all of the convictions, so why would you sign him if you knew he trouble would start?


****.

 

wot tht article missed was the fact he was impressed king trained hard after he said for him to get his head down......shame he couldnt keep his fists down as well lol
