Lambert wouldn''t touch a player with that kind of attitude and reputation, irrespective of how good he is/was.

Being released very soon, apparently... Aidy Boothroyd has been tipped to take him back to Coventry.

If it was one incident, I believe people should be given a second chance.  In this case, MK has a string of incidents, so in this instance NO WAY PEDRO

Didn''t he become a Muslim Extremist in prison? I''m sure I heard something about him saying Abu Hamza was his hero?

Incidents and legal cases

While on loan to Hull City, King was alleged to have headbutted teammate Dean Windass in a casino in Scarborough. Hull City stated that the matter had been dealt with internally, and both players remained with the club.[26] Windass later described the incident as a "storm in a teacup".

King has convictions for 14 offences, dating from 1997.[27][28] He received fines, driving bans, community service sentences, a rehabilitation order and orders to pay compensation on convictions including: theft from a person and from a car, criminal damage, and attempting to obtain property by deception; fraudulent use of vehicle licence document, driving without insurance, speeding, drink driving; a wounding incident while playing amateur football, and two cases involving assault of young women rejecting his advances in the Soho area of London.

Two cases have led to imprisonment. In May 2002 he received an eighteen month prison sentence for receiving stolen goods, in relation to a BMW convertible that he was found driving. He was found not guilty of a charge of assaulting a police officer in a related case. His solicitor commented that "His reputation will be tarnished forever, whatever success he achieves, he''ll always be referred to in a Tyson-esque way as someone who has had a criminal past and that is a considerable penalty."[29][30] Gillingham continued to pay his salary while he was in jail, and supported in his appeal, which resulted in the sentence being reduced to nine months, and he was released on licence after five months, returning to the Gillingham team within two days of his release.[31] In December 2008, again in the Soho area, he was arrested on suspicion of punching a 20 year-old female university student in the face, causing a broken nose and split lip for which she was treated in hospital. He was later convicted of sexual assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and sentenced to 18 months in prison and placed on the sex offender register for seven years.[1] He has indicated he will appeal against the length of his jail sentence.[14] Wigan Athletic immediately initiated the cancellation of his contract.[32]

King’s agent, Tony Finnigan, said he was confident that his client would find a club on his release and accused the Professional Footballers'' Association (PFA) of failing to offer support.[33] Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the PFA, said that the PFA did not represent players when they have broken the law and been convicted on non-footballing matters. It would support members with anger management or other issues if approached but no approach had been made by Marlon King.[14]

Seems a horrible person!

I''m going to Say No.He was a top player at Watford, and a joy to watch.But all his off field problems and whats being going on in hisl ife, would mean he might not be fully focused on Football anymore, and plus, His fitness would be lacking greatly.I''d expect him to go to Cov with Boothroyd, after all, he was is manager at Watford, and they got on great. Nice free deal for Aidi.

No. Definitely not.

I don''t subscribe to the theory that footballers should be viewed as defining role models to quite the extent that the media would like us to. BUT these pro''s are by and large, very well salaried and are looked up to by a lot of the younger generation; they therefor do have an obligation to act in a decent way. I also believe in second chances but in the case of Marlon King, chances would appear to be wasted on him.

If there are League rules on ''fit and proper persons'' test for the ownership of clubs, why is there not one for the footballers themselves? Someone like Barton or King surely bring the game/and or the club they represent into disrepute by continually behaving like raging d1ckheads.
