SA consortium

If they only put in a formal offer last Friday it could still takes weeks to finalise

Why? Surely all the leg work has already been done. Just a case now of AH accepting the offer and taking the money.

So Hardy is stalling and the SA consortium are resorting to the media to put pressure on?

"There is a genuine desire by the consortium to conclude matters ASAP, to attract players to the club in time for pre-season."

Surely we don't expect AH to not fluck something else up as well!

There is an undertone of impatience in that statement. What the hell is Hardy playing at?

I wouldn’t put anything past Alan Hardy, so let’s hope he’s not doing anything silly at this (hopefully) late stage that might jeopardise things.

Interesting to hear Shaun Derry slamming AH on the Totally Football League podcast this week. Choice quotes: Hardy has been an utter embarrassment on and off the pitch; made selfish decisions that were only about Alan Hardy; Notts’ relegation was the fault of just one man (guess who); and Hardy “deserves everything he gets”. He also eviscerated him for sacking Nolan so soon after the playoffs.

He needs to stay on as chairman..his sons place in the academy depends on it. That may seem a bit far fetched..but I promise you all that’s his only motivation.

Not a big fan of people conducting negotiations in public. We have no idea about the credibility or finances of the SA consortium and I’d rather get some news when the sale has actually been concluded.

Mmm, there'll be a reason for going public and saying they are ready to complete the deal - presumably to put pressure on Hardy to sign on the dotted line.

Just like Alan did when he took over from Ray. Al peddled some line about '24 hrs from ceasing to exist', or summat similar, so no complaints there.

Other bits that have emerged in the last 24 hours to suggest they're upping the pressure on Hardy too. Who gave the NEP the snippet about the SA consortium wanting Bircham? Feeding supporters information to suggest they actually have some plans for next season is dangling the carrot and and likely to win them some backing.
