MARLON KING will be signed by a football club in the next few weeks and it will spark an outcry.Any man who raises his hand to a woman is not any kind of man at all.
But a serial-offending thug who leaves a young lady battered and bruised, like poor Emily Carr (right), should be tied down - to enable women who so desire to freely kick the proverbial crap out of him and trample over his body in stiletto heels.
Far more justice than spending nine months at one of Her Majesty’s holiday camps – which nowadays pass as prisons.
However, that aside, some of the hypocrisy doing the rounds in today’s media outlets beggars belief.
His agent Tony Finnigan – one of the most unsavoury football characters I have ever spoken to – was on radio this morning arguing that he “had a duty, rightly or wrongly, to find Marlon work”.
It is his duty? More like, he can smell a quick buck in setting up a deal for the brute. Of course, he has no legal obligation to represent Marlon King.
On talkSPORT radio, they were arguing that King should be banished – never to step foot into professional football again.
A caller rang in and started to make an excellent point: “Marlon King doesn’t deserve another chance – yet you guys work alongside Stan Collym …” He was cut off before he had a chance to finish.Yes, talkSPORT’s Stan Collymore, who beat up Ulrika Jonsson and got caught dogging at Cannock Chase.
Of course, everyone deserves another chance after making a mistake in life – but how many chances does King get?
If he is not headbutting team-mates, he is stealing, speeding, drink driving, acting fraudulently or beating up women who refuse to have sex with him … just to name a few “mistakes”.
Yet, sadly, there will still be a place in football for this nasty piece of work – and it will be argued that he deserves a 15th chance (following his 14 convictions) and he has served his time.
But, in doing so, it sends out yet another wrong message to young children who look up to footballers as role models. You can be a violent serial offender – and still be welcomed back into football with open arms.
He SHOULD be banned from professional football for life – but in a game where money wins over principles he WON’T.
