Tony Finnegan is claiming that Marlon King instructed him to put out a statement yesterday saying nothing had been agreed with Coventry City,
Finnegan, a former Crystal Palace, Blackburn and Swindon player when questoned by the CT refused to confirm if he was actually King's agent or confirm if he had been involved in the contract talks with the Sky Blues.
Speaking to the CT, Finnegan said: “Marlon called me up and asked me to put that statement out.
“I don’t want to go into this but I am his friend and advisor and Marlon has asked me put that out.
“Read that statement, what it says is the truth. It is not me trying to be tricky.”
He also added: “The club know what they have to do.”
Coventry City maintained in a statement issued last night that they have a verbal agreement from King and his advisor that he will be staying at the Sky Blues.
