    It may be a positive sign that we aren't already in admin. If you think it through, that would have been the most straightforward option for Hardy, to walk away from the club and the debts. Presumably that makes it more likely there are still be some prospective purchasers around, who are considering paying him something for the club. Otherwise we would already be in admin and he would have been able to wash his hands of us.
    I wouldn't be surprised if he still has notions of being involved in some capacity. His Paragon business is down the swanny and we all know his ego blinds him from the reality of what fans think of him. I still can't understand the performance he gave for the cameras at Swindon. Bizarre behaviour.

It doesn't mean all is well by any means, but not all signals are bad.
    Where have you seen that Paragon Leisure has been reprieved? I understand that Paragon Interiors are being taken over by Elev8 but I doubt that this impacts Notts.

We have half a team who are meeting on Monday to train at non-existent training facilities. A manager that can't manage. Maybe a savvy investor might decide that next season is already written off promotion-wise but they could live with the points deduction and take their time to rebuild the club and avoid relegation this season. And save themselves from paying a shed load of cash to a foolish, egotistical failure.
    A good question a lot of supporters have thought about. My thoughts are:

    Last year, value would come from the "goodwill" of the fanbase, and the revenues that result from that plus the stake NCFC had in the Football League. In addition to this, you can add some value for the control of infrastructure, principally the stadium.

    Following the club dropping out of the league, the expected revenue from the club will be reduced, not to mention the value lost from no longer being a Football League club.

    The main advantage I can see of buying the club from Mr Hardy, rather than waiting for Administration is as follows. If you really want the club, you avoid something of a lottery where the administrators choose from multiple bidders, all offering a token bid, and get full control (of the revenues, a stake in the league (Now National) as well as infrastructure.)
    Players contracts can be seen as assets or liabilities depending on how others view these players!
