Ranson to offer King new contract
Newspaper gossip According to Mirror Football, Coventry City chairman has told striker Marlon King that he is going to be offered a deal to tempt him to stay at The Ricoh. King's mentor, former manager Aidy Boothroyd was sacked by Ranson on Monday and immediately speculation started that King would be leaving at the end of the season. When King was released from prison in July last year, Boothroyd offered him a way back into football, but it is unlikely that without the sacked manager that King would have signed for Coventry City, so whether he will accept any offered new contract and stay on at Coventry City remains to be seen. King signed a one year deal with Coventry City late September 2010 and has scored seven goals, but has also missed seven games through suspension.
