I'll second that.
Another mistake is that quite a few times in the past mr Hardy has declared that he is a teetotal but then in his story a friend allegedly asked if he was up for a few beers or something similar ? Which led to him taking the picture of his peni$
The only explanation that makes sense is that owning Notts has driven him to drink !
Hardys times up..he needs to go.
As for his influence..he’s in on everything. I had a phone conversation with a manager I know personally..5 minutes after being interviewed..his words “god help you lot he thinks he’s a manager” no point blaming Nolan..kewell or Ardley.
Also around about a year ago I sat with a member of the Notts coaching staff for an hour and half..ours boys were on the same training session. The stories were unbelievable..funny and totally bewildering. That’s when I realised that his behaviour/attitude were having a negative affect on the club top to bottom..coincidently we’ve been on the slide since.
Old Pie I think you are spot on. He aint for me and neither was the last one either. The last decent Chairman we had was Mr Pavis. This one is simply way out of his depth. It's like one of those lotto winners you hear about that spend all the money on fast cars, Cocaine and Hookers in 6 months and end up working in pie factory in Aberdeen. Anyway never mind COYP.
Like someone else said in a previous thread lots of people seem to think it's black and white. What bugs me is the amount of judgement and condemning tone. Who's got the right to be so damming?
If someone doesn't give a S*** and makes no effort sure. But someone who has invested, time, energy and money (my perception, who knows for sure) deserves some respect. For me he's been in a different class to many chairmen we've had - communication with the fans, money, communicating, positivity, passion, innovation, commitment. There things that I really want in a chairman.
Every club has rises and falls. Who knows maybe we're on the rise again now. No club has the right to be anywhere as we're ALL competing.
Excuse the over simplistic analogy but have you ever played monopoly and done everything right but sometimes things don't go your way. Doesn't make you a s*** person does it?
A lot of people slating him for attitude but anyone who is willing to put his hands up and admit mistakes is already way better than average in my opinion.
And am so bored by the twitter thing. it's meaningless - just a chance for people/media to drag a man down - something people like doing in this country.
When he says he's spending 6 days a week on NCFC matters the question has to be asked "doing what". When he says he's looking forward to learning from Paul Hart the question is "why is he looking forward to learning anything". When he's commented on individual players I've wondered what does the manager think of that. A manager might be trying to ground a player or build his confidence up and then the owner is making statements so that he can show "he knows football". And did his comments interfere with our neighbours - he seems to think it was (another) one of his mistakes.
I don't have any inside knowledge, only what the man says himself but some of the comments you make add up.
He knows a bit about kiddies football and that seems enough for him to think he can run a professional football club. Did Dunnett or Pavis get involved at that level? I very much doubt that any other chairman does. It's really saddening because he clearly wants/wanted to succeed. The thing is he wasn't learning and the damage was just going to continue.
