Ledley King’s contract expired yesterday, so technically, he is considered released. However, he will talk over his future with the club, and we will know what will happen when they decide. Ledley has stated that we are the ONLY club for him, if he is unable to play for the club, he will be involved in some other way. His options are looking along the lines of:
- Pay as you play
- Managerial, or coaching role (most likely defensive coordinator)
- Office work, PR, etc.
- Retirement
as Harry so eloquently put “Ledley is apart of the furniture” and he will never leave the club. He’s a true living legend. The King of London.
Jan was interviewed while in London yesterday, and was quoted saying the deal is “near completion” and that the club he wants to play for, and that the deal is for, is us. SURPRISE! However, nothing has been finalized yet, and therefore he doesn’t want anyone to get too excited.
Now everyone calm down.
