My gut feeling is that Johnson appears to be another "pal of a pal" with Ben Kensell heavily involved in this latest "twist" in Hibs future direction as a top Scot Prem footie club. The four year contract with HFC has really astounded lots n lots of Hibs fans although I acknowledge that most candidates demand a long term contract as any kinda performance related clause will scare off all of them. Part of Johnson's statement read like this - "I need time to implement my ideas .......". How much time Lee????? IMO there is no way Johnson was the best candidate; I don't believe that comment in Ron Gordon's statement and I certainly have no faith in the lead role of Ben Kensell as intimated in previous threads.
