This could get difficult

I for one have never been a fan of the ‘arrogant one’. I have told anyone that will listen, from the start of the season, that we had a good chance of getting out of league 2, but not via the sun roof, via the trap door. If Paragon is in trouble then NCFC will face it’s most challenging time in its long history. For the record the National league does NOT allow clubs that are in admin into its league, so that would mean dropping down a further league if this scenario played out. I hope it won’t. I’ve not a clue about the current viability of Paragon, but what I do know is that no business owner would allow the things being said about their business unless there were some elements of truth at least (it will stop all new business, no one will instruct a business in trouble to carry work out for them, it’s commercial suicide), but the silence has been deafening. Sadly it looks like the worlds busiest arrogant man is not quite as smart as he thinks. The issue for us Pies fans however is that if Paragon goes, Notts are in serious trouble, and no buyer is going to help fund the debt to Paragon. But admin suits nobody, especially an interested buyer as the time frame to get us back into the league could be years.... it’s never easy at The Lane. But Hardy looks like ruining the club, perhaps forever, and trust me this is all down to his ego, all decisions have been his, and on a interior design basis the new showers and bar look great, just about every football decision has been poor, and that is why we are where we are. I’m not interested in his loss, he won’t be the first owner to lose a few million, but most don’t take the club into oblivion!

Welcome to the board Mrs MiG.

Come on, spill the beans, what’s he done to upset you ?

Ruining my club is probably my biggest gripe :-)

When will this poisonous f@ck wit give it up????

We all know you hate Alan Hardy.

We all know you hate Notts County Football Club.

It's bad enough that we are up to our necks in the sh1t without this waste-of-space-of-a-human-being rubbing our faces in it.

4k's sake, why dint you warn us when Al was putting 10 mill into the club? If we'd have known we would have never accepted that money.

Actually they do. They give you your first season to sort your **** out.

I’m really not sure why you feel the need to be so aggressive and insulting. Why you think you love the club more than me is mystery, my financial support for the club has been significant, yours no doubt runs to a season ticket at best. Although admittedly not so much since he took over. I don’t hate Hardy, but the fact is he has put in the crap, that’s what I don’t like. And it’s sheer arrogance as he has refused to listen to anyone (sacking long standing employees, employing Harry Kewell), Im aware he has put money in, and he obviously wanted a better result, but a fool and his money are easily parted. Notts should have been better for his cash and input, but we are not. And unless we get very lucky, you will need something else to do on a Saturday, assuming you go in the first place.

So just to be clear.

You’ve been supporting Notts for a long time.

You’ve put in lots of money, not just a season ticket.

You feel it is a disgrace that AH has done this and should never have been allowed to do so.

You feel the need to make this abundantly clear to all via a message board.

But despite all the massive amount of evidence over the past year and a half of his ineptitude and mismanagement of the club you love, you we’re only just moved to write about it today?

Come on mig. Don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s raining.

Yep, he didn’t mean to waste it, and put our existence at risk, that’s for sure. Our current manager got a team out of this league with less than half this seasons budget. Ray Trew put even more money in than Hardy, I certainly didn’t dislike Ray, but in the end you get judged by the outcome, and it’s should have been so much better with Hardy, his only problem was himself. Sad, but that’s my view.
