Alan Hardy will make a definitive statement today at Noon regards the future of Notts County Football Club! So said Radio Nottingham. 

That's a good sign in my book. If he hadn't taken over he wouldn't be in a position to make a statement on the future of our club.

Touches wood.

I think I am going to go and lock myself away in a darkened room and not come out until all this is sorted, as I don't think I can take any bad news!

 

Well, it's turned out all good! Alan Hardy is the new owner!

Shall we knock on the door and tell him, or just wait till he wees himself just for a laugh?

Happy banter , yes , love it 

As for the future of Notts County Football Club, it seems that at last we have got our foot on the first rung of a very steep ladder.  Alan Hardy has a huge task ahead of him, and to be honest all I ask from him this season is 22nd place or above - in fact I would be delighted if both Nottingham clubs finished in 22nd place!!!  I'm not too fussed over 5 year plans and the like, just get us looking and operating like a football club again.  I hope a few of those who have voted with their feet will now be tempted to return, starting on Saturday.  The sobering thought is that we still have the same bunch of players, let's hope Hardy can pass a bit of his enthusiasm on to them.

i think if the tweets of our new chairman are anything to go by, we should have someone who will accept things at face value but work incredibly hard to make sure the players represent the club with some pride and a little bit of passion (if not more).

the chairman was never going to sack all the players and i doubt the next manager will. some will be released at the end of the season.

we focus on rebuilding now.

A polished turd is still a turd. This squad is full of turds polished or otherwise......

Only time will fix the type of players, we will know the direction in which we are going when the signings we get in aren't of this nature.

For now we have to pull together, there's certain players I don't wish to see at the club - however we can't simply get rid (unless they are replaced). Now it's time to build and to replace as we can. I hope we don't rush signing players now, I hope we sign the right ones and improve more in the new season.

I am not expecting fireworks instantly, I hope more of our lot fall into this bracket. There is much work required but I think we have found an owner who does not see the glamour of playing above our current weight. I think Alan Hardy will see it as a progression, so lets hope our former glory can be restored.

Onwards & Upwards.

Just have to concentrate on staying in the football league like someone up above said. Need a whole new team, well two goalkeepers and the defence for a start.

The way we've been playing, I reckon we may need help from someone up above!

Looks like hardy is moving fast in terms of our future! New academy director on Friday!

This is also a very good indication he's looking out for the future of the club
