I doubt there's many managers at this level with such an impressive CV in recent times, but perhaps we'll be looking at above this level.

For the reason I mentioned above however, Johnson is an absolute no-goer.
I wouldn't be so sure about the budget. I agree he's a good manager. Especially at this level. I was just highlighting his style of play (along with the Cowleys) is very similar to Keates. Workmanlike. Get defenders turned etc. Very effective in this league. Not sure the footballing purists on here would like it though 🙄
