Not sure either - it's a bit foggy. If the Google AI days are accurate, I don't think it's possible, at least if it's accurate that KLD officially became owner in February (the window would've closed and Dobson played at the end of Dec; though he was an unused sub once in Jan), but maybe it's a grey area memorywise, because wasn't everyone saying retrospectively that if KLD was coming in as owner he must've had a say in the choice of Johnson as gaffer, even though he preceded him by a few months? KLD was definitely in the picture before it was made official.
