    Have to wonder if he can successfully negotiate the sale of the club. Feel, as I'm sure we all do, for the Paragon staff. Being made redundant is truly dreadful. I've been there. Mind you who would want to work for Hardy anyway? I also feel really worried about the sale of Notts with him involved. Worrying times indeed.

    I'm not sure the sale of Paragon is in his hands it will be the administrators.

    The club is a different matter though not sure what is going on.

    I'd be worried if Hardy was boss of me at any of his companies you could be out of work very quick.

    The plot thickens.

    Anyway, what happened to it being sold for 'diddly squat?' I mean he used the word 'sold'. How can a deal collapse if it has already gone through - unless, and this is just a wild idea of course, Hardy is full of ****.

    All that talk about potential buyers and £900 million will probably look just as ridiculous soon.

    What a nightmare for the Paragon staff.

    Staff at Notts County owner Alan Hardy's firm have been made redundant after a deal to save it collapsed.

    Paragon Interiors, which employs about 90 people, went into administration in February.

    Mr Hardy said in a statement administrators took the "extremely difficult decision to make the incredible workforce redundant".

    He said the financial problems of the company, which had been in business for 33 years, would not affect the club.

    Mr Hardy said: "Unfortunately it has been forced on them [the administrators] due to the collapse of the recent deal to sell Paragon, a deal I fully expected to be successful, securing jobs at Paragon and across our sites.

    I spoke a few days ago with a (now a redundant) Paragon worker who had declined an offer to work in one of AH's other enterprises, and that speaks volumes.

    You would have thought that he'd have learnt from previous situations, that it's better to say nothing until whatever deal, is signed sealed and delivered.

    I want to hear nothing from him, about the takeover, until it's the new owners announcing themselves.
