£9 million? I fear the worst. What we're seeing now is a perfect storm for financial disaster - an increasingly desperate owner who is losing money at an unsustainable rate, a bloated squad of overpaid wasters, the club looking like crashing out of the league, and fans slowly giving up.

Hardy is rich, but he isn't rich enough to carry on this way. He could try and sell, but with the current playing squad and league position, who would buy? I can see a fire sale of playing staff over the summer, leaving us with a bare-bones squad of youth players and other assorted dross, and then another relegation battle, but this time in the Conference.

The only way we can possibly survive is for AH to spend even more money on a 2 or 3 quality signings, and for them to gel instantly, and for us to suddenly start getting ridiculously good luck. Can't see it happening, but the deeper he digs himself into a financial hole, the harder it will be to get out.

The fact he's back on Twitter shows that he simply does not learn. He's opening himself up to all sorts of negativity and anger from Notts fans, not to mention the ****tish keyboard warrior trolls from Mansfield and Forest, who will set up accounts purely to wind him up. These people want him to fail, and to fail spectacularly - why open yourself up to all that?

If our form doesn't pick up, it will be interesting to see what Hardy says in reaction to the 'will you continue to fund the club in the Conference' question, or the 'Doomsday Scenario', as he calls it. Fun times ahead.
