Very dodgy looking story indeed, 15 grand for league 2 is ridiculous and considering we need a CF and not another winger then lets hope this is hogwash
I wouldn’t be surprised if Capel was the player Hardy spoke about when he said he almost fell out of his chair.
On Twitter the other day Hardy said the player we were after was after a 2 year deal so no chance could we afford £15k a week over that length of time and I doubt he’d sign for 2 years anyway.
I wouldn’t want it to happen as daft as it sounds I’d rather we got Akinde from Barnet.

'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story' - Notts County owner rubbishes report of £15,000-a-week move for former Spain international Diego Capel:
I am not suggesting the story is true but he would say that wouldn't he.
The story isn't as daft as it sounds either when you analyse it. A deal until the end of the season (probably 10 games) would cost a maximum of £150,000. An extra 1,000 on the gate for the last 5 home games will bring in £100,000. It has to be worth it to get promoted. No guarantees though of course.
Nothing against the guy but what makes people think that he'd put an extra 1,000 on the gate? I would imagine 95% of our fan base has never heard of him and would probably just say "What does e know about league 2" even if this story had any truth to it.
I suppose the wider picture would be that regardless of who he is if he contributed to an upturn in results and a serious promotion winning run of games our attendances would naturally increase anyway so not necessarily just about the player?
Not that it matters now anyway!
