So now it is a bloke who is heading a consortium and he is an in law member of the family that used to own the Yankees and he used to work for them, amazing how rumours get blown out of proportion.

Personally I thinks its a load of rubbish and its just been put out there in order to try and push Alan Hardy into a decision.

He ran a very successful baseball team for a long time, he wouldn't be the worst person to take over at notts

I would be wary too, our last American involvement at Notts, Scardino, ended in financial disaster. The financial model the Glazer's used at Manchester United would be totally inappropriate for Notts too. Americans tend to use financial leverage,mainly ranking up the debt. The Trust was there last time to save us. They won't be next time.

The biggest concern for all, that despite the club's marketability as the world's oldest professional League Club, there is still a worrying lack of buyers out there.

The club is at the stage where it does need new owners.

Its not helping having this speculation hanging the club, so you put the club for sale at a fair price or find some other way to force a sale. Ray cannot afford to allow it be dragged out, so if there is any real interest, its in his best interest now to advance with the talks. I am sorry to say it but I suspect its all money related as to why its struggling.
