He hasn't been on Twitter since November actively so that may be why no response there.

He's back! Literally just retweeted a couple of things about Notts and Ilkeston!

Hardy is similar to Trew in that he believes you can appoint your way to success, but football is a business unlike any other. You don't need heads of this and that who can do a good PowerPoint presentation, just a decent manager and a small squad of good players for their level. The jury is out on the first point and has long since given a guilty verdict on the latter.

It's only a business unlike any other if you don't know what you're doing. Both RT and AH thought that because they had been successful in one area they could be successful in another. Let's play a game, make RT do AH's Paragon job and make AH do RT's recruitment business job. They'd both go bust pretty quickly. But they both think/thought they can play Football Manager, I mean everyone knows about football as is evident from these boards and AH in particular who can recognise future England managers and good training sessions based on kids football. He even rated NA based on his presentation on what was wrong with the team's defending.

It took Sirrel and Dunnett years to build up a successful club and I'm sure Dunnett didn't interefere with footballing matters. It was just a criminal shame that the support wasn't there at a difficult time for football in general and the height of competition from across the river.

If AH and RT look back on their successes I'd bet that they had trusted and competent right hand men and that they were not "Yes" men.

Some good points . Hardy is an embarrassment, despite him "saving" the club. A debatable point anyway. Why doesn't he just watch the games and sign the cheques? And yes the appalling goalkeeper and inept defence just have to go, no matter what the cost.

I don’t, he took a gamble to invest in a local football with the intension of getting them to the Championship and make some cash selling them thereafter... it hasn’t worked, he’s ****ed up and the club is now on the verge of going out of the league. The bloke openly admitted that he had no experience of running a football club and this inexperience has proved to be disasterous. The whole club is top heavy with pointless appointments and people just riding the gravy train... including many players.

I’ve asked this question of Hardy on Twitter, time and time again... what is Paul Hart doing at the club? What is his job? What is he responsible for? He’s never answered.. he avoids answering.

Too many hangers on... too many players on a last payday. The whole club is a mess, from top to bottom. It’s a ****ing disgrace what is happening to our club.

Hardy is like a lad on Betfred... he’ll just keep gambling and gambling until he’s got nowt left.

You have hit the nail right on the head Grantham. Why do we need a Director of Football at all, we are a league 2 club not Manchester City! What does Paul Hart, Jason Turner and the others riding the gravy train actually do? It seems like Hart has been marginalised but that report? Hardy will keep throwing good money after bad as he has no idea how to run a professional football club and never did (Lowdham Colts maybe!), he has been advised by designer mugs in Fletcher and Mace and a fool and his money are soon parted if he ain't skint already?

With a name like Valery, he'll fit right in with our squad.

Why don't you come on over Valery..!!!!

[crazyfists]

I think there is some misunderstanding here. It wasnt a football meeting, it was to watch a **** film. I know because the video was bought the day before with Mr Hardys name and address. It was express post, the video features me and 8 Russian women, and four Finnish. They couldnt wait.

Stick to the threads you start, they're mildly amusing but you fell short on the above post. Think you've started to believe your own hype ha ha.

Some of you are hilarious. So you say KEEP OUT OF FOOTBALL MATTERS HARDY!!!! So he appoints a director of football and takes a step back as he realises he's got alot to learn. Next you say HARDY WE DON'T NEED A DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL YOU ONLY NEED A MANAGER. The manager doesn't run the entire club and wouldn't want to, that's too much on his shoulders.

So do you want Hardy running it or someone who is more experienced like Hart?

Can't have it both ways.

With our luck we will get the Amy Winehouse cover version 🤔

Well said. In addition, why wouldn't he want some say in where his hard won millions are going? He's bought a business, not donated to a local charity. Some people on here are gobsmackingly naive.
