I think he has been very strategic, historically, in how successful he has been."He has done it by keeping his cards very close to his chest."I could tell his analysis was very enthusiastic but realistic. I would say he is aspirational but realistic"No wonder people would think he doesn't own a pot.Johnston knows a successful person when he sees one as he's spent years working with them.

Tbh NO-ONE knows how much he has and that could be a good think but he defo has enough to convince the board that he can take the club forward successfully so that suits me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
