Saw this too, wonder when we'll get to hear. Probably from Colin in the morning.

The HMRC court date is tomorrow, maybe that has helped to move things on.

Let's hope for good news sooner rather than later.

[Chris]

I hope the gun isn't being jumped because of the optimism attached with the possible outcome.

There's nothing concrete from what I can read right now, all seems to be related to his business and the most recent party of theirs - yet the one tweet could very well be about Notts but it could be about the party. I'm sitting on the fence with this, however I hope its true.

[upthepies]

Have to agree with the above, if it is about Notts why post something so cryptic?

[BromPie]

It would be good but I am not so sure how closely it is connected to Notts. Lets hope the overdue HMRC has prompted Ray to move into gear, heaven knows the clubs suffered enough turmoil to date.

[Who r ya?? You Pies!!]

Fingers legs toes eyes everything crossed hope it happens

god i hope it is this because i am worried what tomorrow could bring otherwise.

Here's the actual tweet folks.

[Fozzy]

He's normally quite quick with his retweeted answers, but he has not replied to any of the Notts fans, so it may be a case of agreed in principle, but not allowed to say anything yet. He does normally interact with Notts fans, So we shall wait and see.

It might be related to the fact he's been getting some negative tweets from people in concern to him wasting fans time.

Not exactly sure I understood how that could be.

Yet another solution is that he's still partying and hasn't read any messages but only time will tell.

I was preparing myself for the tweet to be about an award or something. So it's fantastic to wake up to this news. Everyone involved needed a fresh start, now we've got one.

[Dripsey3]

Great news. I wonder how this impacts on the ladies? Will they be part of the deal? They are part of the club, even if the circumstances of that are unpalatable, and I hope that they are treated with respect. It's one of the first questions that should be answered IMO. 

[Piethagoram]

Some good news at last. However boys and girls, please dont gloss over the state of our team and League position. Yes, some money is needed but has to be spent wisely. Survival this season is my wish. COYP

[DangerousSausage]

If the players are paid on time and have the feeling that our club doesn have a future, then that could have an untold effect on morale. Time will tell on that one.

[ivansneck]

And the morale of the fans will increase, which means more support for the players and it can become a virtuous cirlce.

[Chris]

Great news folks!

I'm pleased we took the news as it came but well done to @ivansneck for posting about the tweet. Now lets hope we can move forward and re-bridge on the mess created, there are many fans who simply stopped going for reasons involving the prior owners - yet I don't think they'll suddenly all reappear but I hope in my heart that Alan Hardy will create the family club feeling which has been lost.

Hopefully this stupid YOUngPIES can be re-branded back to Junior Magpies.

[liampie]

best news i have seen from notts in a matter of months. im glad that the club is finally progressing with the takeover and i hope alan hardy will treat all fans better than the prior owners who judged everyone by the same standard.

[Dripsey3]

Alan Hardy has to be given a long leash. He has quite a mess to clean up. We can't expect instant success. Avoiding relegation will do to be going on with. Start again next season, with the right structures in place. One area I'd put serious investment into is youth. Notts are never going to have money for massive transfer fees, build from within. Again that will take time but Notts fans have to be patient. 

[Who r ya?? You Pies!!]

It's great news , a fresh impetus , a lifting of the gloom , the fan base back on side , the whole environment will be lifted , a massive welcome to Alan Hardy as owner , I look forward to the next chapter in NCFC with great optimism.

[Chris]

I think fans will be patient and understanding, we firstly need to survive the drop - this can be done by reuniting and pulling together.

All the players need to step up to the plate and give 100%, those that don't want to be at Notts will soon be seen but we really need to regroup and push on. Alan shouldn't be judged by past mistakes, he should also be given more than just the end of this season for things to improve. Lets face it, it won't happen over night but the good thing is that we now have someone who wants to move the club forward.

When next season starts, I hope he remains ambitious but doesn't do what has been previously done.

You know start talking of promotion, big signings, money and the surreal wonderland that was always being pushed onto our supporters base - then for certain people to say we have unrealistic expectations when they don't get what they want from it.

You may call me 'ivanscoop' ace reporter from now on!

Haha... Your next assignment is to find out what everyone at the club had to for tea and if there was any sign of milk!
