many involved with the nyy declared themselves out pretty much instantly by saying we was not a big enough club. winning mentality, seriously?

@Super_Danny_Allsopp I think one or the other is correct.

The books may have made the hedgefund uninterested simply because the club was running in the minus points and possibly quite seriously, if the heart felt SLO was right about the debts.

Hardy's grammar is better than Molloy's, so it's no loss.

Hedge funds are interested in profit. Where is the profit in Notts? Was never going to happen and certainly wasn't desirable.

Getting bad vibes.

I've heard Alan Hardy has pulled out of the deal due to the level of undisclosed debt

He's also removed "Owner and Chairman Of Notts County FC from his twitter profile"

It seems that the lasting legacy of the Trews ownership will be the club being dissolved.

I think he's mugged himself off a bit, he could have accepted Hardys higher offer weeks ago but has waited till we were on the brink of admin and took the lower offer

how long will the hmrc be held off, have we not passed this period again? it seems ray has backed hardy into more unfair corners.

Well i think last night/today says alot about ray, £1m debt to Haydn greens estate which has only come up in the final stages of the takeover

Let's hope for progress today , we need it for sure , don't know where we stand if it does completely collapse , apart from in a real mess .

yeah, why not fully disclose the finances?

sorry to say it but this could not be hidden in 7 plus years, esp when its been claimed to have fully paid off the debts.

It's hard to say either way without seeing the books. (Even if I did see the books, I doubt it would help me)

But one would assume that Ray has attempted to cover up as much debt as he could. Whether that is seen as common business sense in the business world, I don't know, it's sneaky to me.

There is some unknown reason as to why the takeover keeps being delayed, one would believe its because someone isn't playing ball at all.

Hardy needs to make sure his costs does not raise, so I would be interested how he plans to proceed with this and if debts continue to rack up, Ray should lower his asking price.
