    Got to admit he doesn't f**k about. Urgent action was needed and in the face of a lot of uninformed criticism he sorted out this mess.

    I hope so but that's still to be seen and to some extent a mess of his own making perhaps.

    He supported the manager to build a promotion winning team. Was he supposed to see this coming 18 months ago?

    Wow. He certainly doesn’t let the grass grow under his feet. Not just getting one manager and 2-5 players, all in the space of a few days, but also interviewing 7 other candidates, some of whom he had to get permission to speak to. And quite a few Twitter posts too, which must have filled in the odd spare moment. I’d hate to have his phone bill.

    Whether this week’s events lead to success or not (and we won’t know that for a few months to come), you can’t fault Hardy for lack of effort or enthusiasm, and he’s definitely got Notts best interests at heart. He deserved it before, but he’s once again earned the fans’ full backing.

    I think he's deserved that from day one. I've got a gripe about his Twitter habits, but that's my only reservation, and only because I don't think it's always in his best interests.

    Harry Kewell (assuming it is him) wouldn't have been my choice, but frankly that doesn't matter. Alan Hardy owns the club and he's absolutely entitled to appoint the guy he sees as the right one. If I had bought the football club outright, I would do the same. You can never please everyone anyway, so you may as well please yourself and stand or fall doing what you think is right.

    Absolutely agree. He may be an egotistical arse at times, but you cannot fault his commitment. well done AH. Can somebody assure me that Duffy has played his last game at Notts. Perhaps then I'll sleep at night....

    I know quite a few people with big egos who are well intentioned, hard-working folk. In some lines of work you need a big ego and plenty of self-confidence to fend off the naysayers and maintain a clear sense of direction and purpose.

    Not really. I think we've established over the last few days that Al provided the money, Nolan provided the players names and the tactics/formation.
