Andy King was astue with the media, had a great eye for talent, good man management skills and at times was still hounded by the fans so it's not just an anti Lindsey thing on here.
King is an absolute legend of a manager.
There can be many reasons for results, good or bad but at the end of the day that is the yardstick that matters most where a current manager is concerned.
I must confess that fickle, much younger me has chanted "we want Kingy out, say, we want Kingy out" (only ever after the end of a match). But our grand old ledge did take us on some horrendous winless streaks, tbf.
Speaking personally, I'm amongst those disappointed by the Lindsey appointment for reasons already shared by a fair few.
He appears v. lucky to have been chosen. It seems that his inexperience and lower level pedigree make him more under pressure than the likes of more charismatic or celebrated newbies like DiCanio or Macari - who started memorable seasons similarly shakily.
Lindsey doesn't look a likely legend to me but I won't be bringing my pitchfork in case of a home defeat on Tuesday. It's a big step up for Lindsey and he deserves a fair chance like any other "new manager". Say 8-10 games. Who of us truly know what the man may be capable of based on 3 league games in his first appointment?
What we don't want to re-occur is to find ourselves without a clue as to a replacement should the need arise. But if there weren't any we liked last month, you can bet there won't be too many more eligible replacements yet available.
