Was talking to a mate of mine who's a Lewes season ticket holder about Steve King yesterday and the general view there is that he only achieved the success he did by spending a fortune. When a fans' consortium took over at Lewes a few years ago, they decided to make their accounts for recent seasons open to the public and when they did and fans saw just how much King had spent, they were flabbergasted.
King's second spell there was a failure because the club was being run responsibly by that point and he is now widely disliked and distrusted by Lewes fans.
My mate also said that he's heard the only reason King got the Macc job is because the owners at Macc (or at least someone in authority there) are also his agents.
His overall view and that of most Lewes fans was that this appointment means the Silkmen are in big trouble...
