I am not condoning what he has done but I look at some of the other cases of players who have got into trouble in the past.[LNB]"People have killed people and they never got the stick this lad has got. Whoever takes him, he will want to prove himself."[LNB]Meanwhile, Monday's Daily Mirror is linking King with Coventry, where his former Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd is now in charge.
