A lot of people seem to be missing a very relevant point in John's attitude towards his new contract............which is the betterment of ICT in general
He is looking to the future of the club as well as his own interests.........More stability in the running of the Team, giving the players better incentives to stay rather than accept losses to other Clubs. Making more positive measures within the structure to attract better players to come North. He dearly wants our Club to prosper rather than just survive.
His personal feelings are positive about this area despite living away from his family, I get the feeling that given the right contract he would have his family move North with him but he would have to know that the Club would offer him security by giving him the ammunition to ensure that a permanent move to ICT would really be worthwhile and that the Club does want to lift themselves in the right direction and not just plod on as they have in the past going from manager to manager waiting for better offers to come in for them and any star players that materialise.
