This doesn't really change my feeling. on the football side, it's clear that Osbourne is continuing to support the club - I doubt very much that Johnson would sign a new contract unless he has some commitment and assurances on the budget level for next season. So that's encouraging.

I still struggle to see Clarke Osbourne's end game, though. Nobody is going to come in and buy the club from him - even in League 2 - because they'd also (presumably) have to pay off the £4m loan that he's made to the club. So he must be expecting some return elsewhere - whether he can make that much from any redevelopment of Plainmoor is unclear, especially if he has to deliver a new ground beforehand.

Who knows, though, maybe he's got the fever and he's a full member of the Yellow Army!
