Alan Hardy: 'Prospective signings will make Notts County fans know we mean business'

Alan Hardy has reassured Notts County fans that the signings they have lined up will ensure that the team will "mean business" in League Two this season.

So far, the Magpies have only recruited two players, Terry Hawkridge and Lewis Alessandra, while the owner himself has claimed that four more players will be taken on before the deadline.

Some Notts fans have expressed concern over numerous issues, including the seemingly slow pace of recruitment and the desire for more than four players.

However, Hardy says the quality of signings he hopes to get over the line will make the fans' wait worthwhile.

"I will be disappointed if we don't make the play-offs," Hardy told the Nottingham Post. "I think we will have a good chance knowing who we have signed and knowing who our targets are.

"We have some special players lined up and we are hopefully going to be getting those over the line. These players will make the fans go 'wow, Notts mean business this season'."
