Notts County's Michael Johnson says there will have to be changes before he commits to his future at the club.

The Magpies' 1-0 victory over Wycombe at Meadow Lane on Saturday ensured their League Two survival.

But on-loan Derby defender Johnson, 34, told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I want to play on a pitch where I enjoy playing but it's not that at the minute."

He said he hoped the new chairman and manager Ian McParland would come together and move the club forward.

I want to play there but there's a lot of things which touch a nerve with me at the minute

Johnson, who has been instrumental in helping County avoid the drop, said: "Notts County's a club close to my heart.

"I want to play there but there's a lot of things which touch a nerve with me at the minute.

"For me to come back a lot of things are going to have to change but it's not about me it's about the football club."

Johnson returned to the Magpies, where he began his career, in March.

He made 135 appearances for the club between 1991 and 1995 having progressed from the youth ranks at Meadow Lane.
