That will have played a part, my guess that it was a minor part. If he was only coming for the money he would probably not have bothered talking to people about the club first, he would have just said yes.
This is a bloke who, when out of a job, took on the managers role at a local kids team. He loves football and he loves being a football manager. I genuinely get the feeling that the money is secondary to him and he joined us because he can see the potential here and wants to unlock it.
