Well bills can't be avoided, especially with a slow takeover (and yes I expect it to be this way).

Lets hope it's been settled now, so the sale of the club can just move forward.

I have to question whether the people hurling abuse at the current owners on social media really have the best interests of Notts at heart?! Certainly on the other site it seems to be a personal feud going on!! It doesn't matter who owns the club because whatever they do it won't be acceptable to the keyboard warriors. I just want to get back to it all being about the football and looking forward to matches again!! 

I disagree because fans can settle if allowed.

Some keyboard warriors will get bored in the long run but you have to stop feeding them. Its clear MAD thrive on the attention each melt down brings, I would have a stab that some of the topics they start are done with the intention of getting the Trews to comment. The point about bills, its silly not paying and expecting someone else to settle such a small bill.

Just pay it and have done with it.

I'm pretty certain they don't.  A small group on MAD post specifically to discredit Ray and Aileen Trew, and for no other reason.  I'm sure they never consider for a second the negative impact it might have on the club, they have their personal agenda and that's all that matters.  Saying that, Ray is almost as bad because he is stupidly giving them the attention they crave.  Just stay away from all forms of social media Ray and concentrate your efforts on getting the best deal for both yourself and the club.  Most of us would like to remember you in a good way, please don't make that difficult for us.

@Elite_pie and @CliftonMagpie.......spot on......so why the hell do Mr and Mrs Trew keep feeding the trolls..............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sukhi ghuman (Octavian security from 2009) has said on Twitter that he is no longer in the race to take over notts as we need large scale investment and small or medium investment would not suffice, he also mentions that he would be able to get more investors but the investment would have to be huge

His twitter is @sukhighuman360 ,it certainly makes for good reading

Not good news. I'd hoped Octavian would be the new buyers

So who's left in the running then ? About as clear as mud , maybe the other of the 2 serious bidders now have a clear run , which did the above mentioned belong to ?

We still know next to nothing. Only the self-proclaimed Phoenix has any insight, but his information is notoriously unreliable. 

The more I think about it, the more I worry about Sukhi Ghuman's comment. I have a horrible feeling there's a lot more wrong with NCFC behind the scences than we think. It sounds like he may have done 'due diligence' and come to that conclusion.

Sorry to be pessimistic but we could be in deep poo.

I read all the Twitter comments and my take on events is....8th April "very excited...inches away last time".......between then and the 16th "needs big investment, needs stable fan base, different situation now than post-Munto (the club was on the "up")....16th "I'm out, I could try to find "bigger" investors,but Ray quite rightly wants as much of his investment repaid"

note his advice..........Don't let the hedge fund buy Notts....massive massive fail!!

So it has to be the price v current league position (which is why MC was finally recruited).....he obviously has investors, but not quite big enough ones.

Same situation as Hardy really....but a lot more business-like

Its not looking good, once you find just a couple interested parties selling should be a piece of cake. I have to admit I am now worried about the club having debts or more issues that will only put potential buyers off.

I believe there is always a lot behind the scenes that we will never know about, just like at most clubs, the less we know the better!

Im also getting worried, if the two groups that are public (Hardy and Octavian) have backed down then it can't be good, Ghuman (Octavian) said we need investment on a large scale, he has nothing to lose by saying that and he mentioned he was in the running so he must know more than the average 'Joe'

Hardy was really keen on buying Notts, but not willing to go anywhere near the asking price, which in my mind was the sensible approach to take. He knew that the club would need serious investment, so why handicap yourself by paying several million more than it is worth?

We shall see what now comes about, but it definitely looks like we are heading for a long drawn out sale that may take several months, which is the last thing everyone wants.

@ohstanleyaborah: Hey! Don't be so personal towards me. Oh wait....

The longer the takeover takes, the better the next owner's price will be but it's not really all that ideal of a situation to be in. This Asian corporation may still be in the running, however with it all being quiet on that front - I am a little sceptical. I would be concerned if all the interest suddenly dropped out, yet at this stage I am really not that much concerned. I think it's smart of a potential buyer to pull out if they're aware it wouldn't work out, if it's true that we require 'large' investment - it doesn't necessarily mean debt or financial trouble.

It could simply mean that the parties realise it will take more money to get the required return back.

As he wrote it's about breaking even, I think it would be more logical to do a Fulham - invest larger sums until you are able to build around your investment and it's possible that they require 'Championship' football to form part of their business plan.

As I write, I'm not overly worried at this stage.
