Most of the speculation among fans at the minute stems from Hardy getting in front of a microphone seconds after we were relegated and announcing a time frame. I'm sure there would still have been concern if he'd not done it but I'm not sure we'd have reached the levels we're now at if he'd kept his mouth shut and not put a date on the whole thing. We've had more than our share of bad owners but I don't think we've ever had one who has so consistently shot himself in the foot.
It could be that things are being held up until after the play offs, because at that point, no-one (like Macc) can suffer a points deduction that will apply to this season and thus relegate them, according to the EFL rules. The chance of it happening is very remote anyway, but if straws are there, Hardy will clutch at them. The difference to him could be £millions.
On the other hand, he could be a deluded fantasist who has not sold the club at all.
The only club that will potentially be a life line now is Bury as they are in court tomorrow, that would need them to be wound up tomorrow and as we've seen with Bolton, the courts are very willing to give football clubs time to sort things out so very unlikely that they'll go through tomorrow so therefore they should get on with it. I'm hoping the group was clever and said if Notts finish in the relegation zone, that way, this wouldn't be an issue
