One of Mark Devlin's reported departing legacies was to ensure that King could never hold the club over the proverbial barrel when it came to getting rid.  

Written into his contract is supposed to be a clause that will mean any pay-off he receives will be no great shakes.

Can anyone confirm out of interest when he is actually contracted to?  I thought it was simply an annual rolling contract, which would leave any pay-off in the scheme of things that horrific.

It would be great to see a young ambitious professional manager in charge of the side with the full backing of the fans.

I think the original plan was to replace King with Mick Harford.  BTW Duke started last night's Darlo game on the bench.

Err no it wasn't Nozza, Harford came here as a favour to his mate King for little or no money.

He was never considered as a replacement and would not want to replace a close friend of his.

Devlin backed King 100%. How much it would cost us to get rid is irrelevant, the subsequent relegation would be far more costly. As for a manager with the full backing of the fans, dream on - no chance at all that will happen when he have no money.
