He's not going to do it is he?
Fascinating few days at Notts and likely to continue for a while yet methinks.
One thing for sure is no Chairman in the history of Notts is as well informed about the thoughts of the fans before appointing a new manaager. I've been across the platforms for days and I would be astonished if Mr Hardy isn't aware that the consensus is a big no towards Harry Kewell.
The fans "favourite" was Bowyer but unfortunately he isn't interested. Equally, I'm not sure Hardy was really interested, Kewell's name was there from the start so perfectly believable that he was the first choice. Personally I am completely baffled if this appointment happens, but I don't have all the info Hardy does.
One thing for sure, given the way Hardy runs the club he has now created a huge potential problem. Kewell will get support, but we all know that Notts fans love a "I told you so". It won't take long if things don't go right before Meadow Lane is toxic again. This season could be more or less over by the end of October if the form doesn't turn quickly and there's a long dark winter coming.
Thing is, I'm not sure how Mr Hardy will cope if he doesn't have an adoring crowd, evidence so far is not well.
Let's hope Mr Kewell is capable. Hmmmm!
