"King emphasized, 'to get out of this league as champions without a parachute payment, from where we've come from, is a huge achievement nobody can take away from him.'"
"He remarked, 'You can see how emotionally connected (Lampard) is with the city, you can see what it meant to him to get promotion and then the title.'"
"King noted, 'It doesn't mean there's not going to be some staggering bid for him in the summer and he'll have to make his choices, because he's shown his credentials as a high quality head coach.'"
