Good, Whelan has sacked him.

He already knows what he faces.

 

He did a spell inside a few years ago for stealing cars and driving them a bit quicker than the legal limit.

 

Probably reasons why he never attracted interest from bigger clubs.

good, but should have been longer

[CHAIRBOY 10]

He is a bad egg. I think it's another case of "Leopards". Fancy being taken on a bonding exercise to Scarborough, when with Hull, and nutting Windass in a casino at 3am? What a dreadful role model. He hasn't really cut it at Premiership level.

No surprise that it was Paul Scally who picked him up out of non league football and recognised his potential,.............. maybe if only as a getaway driver or potential drug supplier to his wife!

A rather unfortunate turn of phrase you used there Chairboy, considering what he did to the woman

Not normally one of my terms but trying to move into 21stC vernacular!

 

I feel very sorry for the victim and King's reported quotes tie-in with those used when he took Windass on, engaging in puerile boasts about a watch.

I think he is an arrogant individual and delighted the Wigan chairman has shown him the door. Of course, we must divide the sentence by two!

This is a right shame-not. If there is anything that annoys me about people that are well known its the "dont you know who i am bit" Good ridance to bad rubbish, shame the sentence isn't a longer one

Kind of poetic that he defended his "don't you know who I am" attitude by pleading mistaken identity!!!

 

Hope someone bigger than him takes a fancy and he spurns their advances.....

Ooo, that would be sweet revenge, especially with him being such a pretty boy

 

On a serious note, what bugs me is that even after serving his sentence there'll be some soft club that will want to employ him on big wages, he should be banished from the public stage in my opinion.

[taxman 12]

I've just been reading about his string of previous over the past 12 years.

 

Never mind, next time he asks someone "Do you know who I am?" the answer will be "Yes, my bitch!"
