    He did not procrastinate in my view. The way I see it he took this club as far as it could possibly go without it being liquidated in an attempt to get as much money for it as possible. It also hamstrung and hampered any form of preparations for this season and left our current owners with outstanding staff wages and bills to pay as soon as they stepped in the door.

    The only people who came out of the mess with class and their dignity intact is the Haydn Green Estate and the Reedz Brothers. They are the ones who we have to thank for our survival and having a team to watch this season.

    Let's not brush it under the carpet shall we that the man nearly destroyed this football club.

Fortunately its all now ancient history, we seem to finally have good owners who will bring some long overdue stability.
    It's not a "Sun" story though, they've basically copied and pasted it from The Athletic

    There is a big difference between making an enquiry and making an offer.. Either way i am glad that he didn't get the chance to own us..

    He did well to drop the interest - I don't think Shakira would have been happy in the Pavis

    Not sure the seats would be to her liking, I can barely fit my arse on them so not sure how she would cope!

    Mindless morons eh, Sid. To be fair, not many on here fit that description but I suppose old habits die hard for a bit part journo, and the chance to use alliteration is not to be missed. Anyone rembember Notts fans chanting 'mindless minority'?

    It’s horrible having awful things said about you personally. You’d expect them at the least to acknowledge it, and to apologise. Unfortunately some are too mindless to do so.

    Indeed, and certainly too mindless to understand what procrastination means. It's a bit rude to suggest Hardy does that anyway, despite what was on his camera roll.
